Some 65 riders from across Canada embarked from Red Deer on a 500-km bicycle journey Thursday.

Cyclists set off on charity ride for kids BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities Pedal for Kids left for Olds shortly after 9 a.m. It was the first leg of a fiveday 500-km cycling tour that will go through Cochrane, Canmore and Banff before finishing in Calgary. Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities is a national effort dedicated to providing children from low-income families with an opportunity to play orga-

New traffic tie-ups are in store for motorists in south Red Deer as work begins on two major road projects. Work crews are preparing a new access to a commercial expansion planned for Southpointe Junction on the west side of Taylor Drive, between 19th and 22nd Streets. Wayne Gustafson, engineering services manager for the City of Red Deer, said there will be some lane closures. Flag people will also be directing traffic at the south end of Taylor Drive. Crews are busy adding an additional southbound lane and creating a signaled intersection as access to the future shopping complex. The project, which is mostly being paid for by the developer, is expected to take at least another 1 ½ months, to the end of construction season — or longer if the rainy weather continues, said Gustafson. Next year, other roadwork will be needed in this area.

tect bladder and urinary tract infections. “It’s very essential to the residents,” preventing some from being hospitalized with advanced infections, said D’Souza. “They can be treated prior.” Extendicare Michener Hill has 220 residents from 31 to 104 years old. Younger people with debilitating conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington disease and early-onset Alzheimer’s, will also benefit from the scanner, she added. As well, D’Souza believes it will be used, as needed, to diagnose some of the 60 residents of the assisted living facility next door.

A handy piece of medical equipment that could keep more seniors out of hospitals was donated to the Extendicare Michener Hill facility. The long-term care home recently received a $10,000 bladder scanner from the Red Deer Legion. Although the device is not commonly available at long-term care centres, “it’s very essential to residents… we’re very grateful to get it,” said Melissa D’Souza, recreational therapist and director at the facility. The small scanner looks something like an ultrasound and is used to de-

Miniature libraries popping up in Sylvan Lake BY JENNA SWAN ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Curbside literacy is becoming increasingly popular in Sylvan Lake as Little Free Libraries have begun to pop up around town. The first local Little Free Library popped up at 338 Marina Bay Place some time ago courtesy of Susan and Bob Samson. Recently another Little Free Library has surfaced thanks to the Friends of the Sylvan Lake Library made possible by a donation from Norglenwold resident, Michael Dawe who is also a trustee representing the five summer villages on the Library board. Little Free Libraries are registered online at www.littlefreelibrary.org and aim to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and convey a sense of community by sharing skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. There are nearly 40,000 Little Free Library book exchanges around the world. “I was quite taken by the idea and I thought it was a great idea worthy of support,” said Dawe on the initiative. “It’s just another way of promoting literacy within the community. We have the library, which in Sylvan Lake’s case is a terrific one that gets a great deal of use.” The Friends of the Sylvan Lake Library’s little free library is located just outside of the downtown area, two blocks from Centennial Street at 5039 52 Street. Chair Peter Mielke said the build of the new Little Free Library was a community effort. “I hope it gets people to read more and make books more readily available while you are out and about in the community,” he said. “It’s the idea

books and we are so pleased with the response to it because it is in a quieter spot of town,” said Hergenheim. “We just really hoped it would see a lot of traffic and it has.” She added those utilizing the new Little Free Library consists primarily of foot traffic with many stopping by on their evening walk with their dog or

parents pushing strollers. Another local citizen recently completed her Little Free Library as well. Coreen Spencer’s Little Free Library is located on 45 Street marking it the third Little Free Library in Sylvan Lake. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

TRAFFIC: ‘Massive’ project

Construction at Taylor Drive between 19th and 22nd is beginning this week.

Taylor Avenue will be widened between 22nd Street and 28th Street, and also upgrading will likely begin at Taylor and 19th Street. The latter will be needed because of a $100-million project, starting this fall, to create a safer interchange where Gaetz Avenue south intersects with Hwy 2. Gustafson said this “massive” Alberta Transportation venture is expected to start soon and continue for a couple of years. “It’s supposed to be completed prior to the 2019 (Canada)

Winter Games,” which are being held in Red Deer, he added. Traffic in south Red Deer will be slowed by both projects. But while single lanes of traffic will be temporarily closed or re-routed, he added motorists will continue to have through-access in these areas. However, commuters should allow themselves more time to get through construction zones. Gustafson believes more motorists will likely use the 32nd Street or 67th Street exits to Hwy 2. “I think people understand we only

have a certain amount of time to do construction and that the weather impacts us,” added the engineering manager, who urged drivers to be patient — and careful of construction crews. “Stay slow and be safe.

This year, they are hoping to raise $150,000 on the ride sponsored by Sport Chek, said Schussler, who is connected to FGL Ltd., which is owned along with Sport Chek by Canadian Tire. Schussler, 31, who grew up speedskating and playing soccer among many sports, believes sports can play an important role in young people’s lives. “Honestly, I feel like sport set me up for life,” said the athlete, who retired from competitive speedskating in 2014 and now works for FGL Ltd. “It builds confidence and you learn from coaches, and it keeps you out of trouble, it gives you something to do. “For me, I felt like sport gave me a place to belong. It gave me a peer group I fit in with.” However, one in three Canadian children can’t afford to play organized sports and that’s what Jumpstart is trying to change. “There are just a huge number of kids out there who need help from an organization like Jumpstart and I’m so lucky to be able to be a part of that.” Schussler, along with Christine Nesbitt and Kristina Groves, set a team pursuit world speedskating record in Calgary in 2009 that still stands. The women’s average speed was 47.6 km/h.

Clearview Public School enrolment rises BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Clearview Public Schools recorded a one per cent increase in student enrolment during the first week of the 2016-17 school year. “We have 27 more students than what was projected during spring,” said Peter Neale, associate superintendent, Clearview Public Schools. The first week enrolment tally was 2,362 students. “We anticipate d being consistent with last year’s enrolments,” shared superintendent Peter Barron. “Having higher enrolments is great news, as more students will mean our programming and student supports can increase further in our schools, additional students provide for more in-resources to ensure our students succeed.” One of the largest increases observed was in the school division’s kindergarten and Start Right programs (pre-kindergarten). In the spring, Clearview projected

167 new students based on last year’s enrolments. Clearview is now expecting 202 students for early learning, which represents an increase of 21 per cent. The school division’s Start Right program is designed for all children aged three to five. “The community and division staff are working well together to support our Start Right program,” explained Barron. “The earlier we can bring students into Clearview, the sooner we can provide support in areas such as reading and math, in schools where children have fun while learning.” Clearview Public Schools board chair Cheri Neitz also added, “We appreciate the fact that parents have chosen to enrol their children in our early learning programs and in the higher grades.” Neitz expressed her gratitude to all the staff and said, “Thank you to our great teachers and committed support staff that dedicate their time and care to our students.”

COMMENT

THE ADVOCATE Friday, Sept. 9, 2016

Let’s talk about the weather RICK ZEMANEK OPINION Most adults do it but it’s nothing to be shamed of. Whether rich or poor, smart or notso-smart, a brain surgeon or a fry cook, talking about the weather ranks high in the study of human interactions. And if this year’s Farmers’ Almanac’s doomsday prediction for the impending winter is correct, Central Albertans will have plenty of weather talk on their plate over the next few months. The Almanac says we are facing an icy cold and snowy blast this time around, unlike last winter’s friendly handshake extended by El Nino. Brace yourself, the Almanac’s editor Peter Geiger recently cautioned in an interview with CBC radio. “We think old man winter is going to return. It’s going to be downright cold,” said Geiger. And already coffee clutches have twigged onto the prediction, making it a hot topic for discussion. So why do we talk so much about

the weather? Studies claim that, on average, we spend six to 10 months of our adult lives talking only about weather. Brilliant London playwright Oscar Wilde frowned on weather chat, saying: “Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” A bit snobbish, wouldn’t you say? Perhaps Wilde should have engaged in more weather talk as opposed to sex scandals that earned him two years of hard labour in a British prison. Not to mention Brits love talking weather. The 18th century British writer Samuel Johnson once penned: “When two Englishman meet, their first talk is of the weather.” Undeniably, talking weather is the universal door-opener to starting up a conversation with a complete stranger. Central Albertans embrace the topic because weather plays an important role in our every-day activities – be it recreational or occupational. Our area farmers watch and talk weather. Those planning a camping trip study and talk weather. Golfers talk about it all the time. And if you’re in an elevator going to the top floor with only one other person, weather talk breaks the ice and kills the time. There’s no getting around it. We’re all exposed to the elements and talking weather is as much Canadian

as maple syrup and hockey. Diane Pacom, a professor of sociology at University of Ottawa, told CBC that talking about the weather is a key element of the Canadian identity … because we talk about it so much. “The way that you create a collective ethos is through this constant preoccupation with weather, which is not imaginary. It’s tangible, it’s real,” she said. David Phillips, a senior climatologist at Environment Canada, says weather is “a safe topic” of conversation. “It’s not as if you’re going to get that faraway look when you bring up sex or politics or religion, and people are wondering where you’re going with it.” An American study claims that an average adult person talks about the weather four times a day, for an average of eight minutes and 21 seconds. That adds up to 3,047 minutes and 45 seconds per year – or, more than five full days. So assuming you survive 60 adult years – starting from age 18 – you spend more than 10 full months of your life with your eyes on the skies and your heads in the clouds. The U.S. study also found that people ranked weather as the top ice-breaker for chatting with a stranger, ahead of work, vacations and sports. Further, about two-thirds of the

people studied say they find weather an interesting topic. Canadians aren’t alone in their weather infatuations. The British Broadcasting Corporation notes that a recent survey of 5,000 people found weather talk was identified as the top British trait. And when it comes to the news, some of the most-read or watched stories are those that detail extreme weather conditions in Canada and around the globe, according to CBC. Getting back to the doomsday winter, the Farmers’ Almanac recommends breaking out the winter gear as early as October. That’s when the real cold weather will start and stick around, says Geiger. (The Almanac has been 80-85 per cent on the button in non-El Nino years.) Mid-January and all of February will be the worst. Big snow storms are predicated for the second week in December. Now whether or not all those predictions will apply to Central Alberta is anybody’s guess, given the diverse geographical features of Canada. But it’s still going to be a big topic over a ‘cup of joe’ or in the elevators. Rick Zemanek is a former Advocate editor.

Everyday science still starving for money PAUL WELLS OPINION At first glance, the parade of cabinet ministers on university campuses across Canada yesterday might have looked like evidence of a new era in federal support for science. Scott Brison was on hand at Dalhousie University in Halifax, which will work with the University of Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland’s Memorial University on a multidisciplinary ocean studies project. The size of the grant from Ottawa: $94 million. Kirsty Duncan and Bardish Chagger were in Waterloo, Ont., where the Institute for Quantum Computing picked up $76 million to create powerful new technology using quantum physics. And on it went: $78 million for flood and drought prediction at the University of Saskatchewan; $84 million for brain research at McGill; $94 million for big data at the Université de Montréal; $75 million for clean energy at each of Alberta’s two biggest universities. In all, 13 centres of higher learnRED DEER

ing split $900 million in grants under the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF), whose website says it was designed to help Canadian post-secondary institutions become “global research leaders.” Specifically it was designed in 2014 by the former Conservative government, whose finance minister at the time, the late Jim Flaherty, announced CFREF in his 2014 budget. This tidbit should elicit a wry chuckle from anyone who’s used to hearing the Harper government dismissed as a bunch of knuckle-dragging backwoodsmen at war with the Enlightenment. There was indeed a lot to criticize about how Harper did science, but those Liberal ministers were out there on Tuesday cashing Conservative cheques. (Since those cheques, whether red or blue, come out of your taxes, the difference is mostly one of dramatic effect. And this sort of policy continuity, where a new government implements an earlier government’s decisions, is usually healthy, because it gives anyone who deals with government a chance to plan past the next election.) But paternity is not the only interesting question to arise from yesterday’s announcement.

serves to highlight some disturbing long-term trends in Canada’s national science effort. CFREF was created to allow big science in Canada to bulk up so it could compete against world-leading research institutions abroad. But it comes along at a moment when everyday science - the day-to-day efforts of researchers. The Harper government held the line on most operating grants to researchers, so fewer and fewer research applications have been receiving funding. The Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the main federal government vehicle for funding medical research, has seen its “success rate” fall to 13 per cent, and it will probably fall further. That leaves a lot of frustrated and disillusioned scientists, many of them the younger early-career researchers. Tony Pawson, the British-born cell biologist who died in Toronto in 2013, opened up a whole new field of lucrative and life-saving anti-cancer therapies with research that didn’t cost much, showed little obvious promise and began when he was 21. Michael Hendricks, a McGill University biologist, pointed out yesterday that with $700 million – less than the amount that was spent yesterday – Ottawa could fund “1,000 Canadian re-

search labs that are already equipped and ready to go but are starved for operating funds.” Does it make more sense to bet big on 13 research institutes or to bet long on 1,000 quiet explorers? Maybe you should do a bit of both. It’s not as though the Trudeau government is ignoring the question: a federal review of science funding is underway, led by former University of Toronto president David Naylor, with a mandate to report by the end of the year. Naylor is a pitbull, and his panel’s website suggests it’s considering precisely the sorts of questions I’ve raised here. But its composition is weighted toward administrators over early-and mid-career researchers, and decisions are being made even as it does its work. It will do little good to decide, after $900 million has been spent, that other choices might have been wiser. Strong day-to-day advice might help while the expert panels do their consulting. But 10 months after the government was sworn in, Trudeau and his science minister have not appointed a senior federal science adviser, something they promised to do in the last election.

Redford portrait quietly unveiled BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Former scandal-scarred Alberta premier Alison Redford was immortalized on the walls of the legislature Thursday morning by two staffers who rolled up with no notice, hung her portrait in seconds, checked the levels, and left. There was no traditional pomp and fanfare that traditionally accompanies the official portrait unveilings of premiers past. Redford said in a statement she did not want any. “Those in political life are inclined to use events such as this unveiling to paint their own picture of how they want to be remembered and what they hope their legacy might be,”she wrote. “I am choosing not to do that.” “While the temptation to paint their own pictures and tell their own stories will be hard for some to resist, I instead choose to leave the history of my time in office to be written when time has provided a clearer perspective.” She thanked those who supported her while in office, adding “It was a unique honour and privilege that has changed my life, my understanding of myself, others, and of this beautiful province.” The portrait depicts Redford, Alberta’s first female premier, in a maroon jacket and black skirt standing with her left hand resting on a stack of books on a side table and her right hand holding the family tartan.

Around her neck are the pearls passed down from grandmother to mother to her. The work is an oil on canvas by Calgary artist Liela Chan, completed for $12,500. Unlike the portraits of the 13 pre-

miers who preceded her, Redford does not look directly back at the observer. Rather her head is tilted up, looking into the distance. Ric McIver, interim leader of Redford’s Progressive Conservatives, said he was OK with the lack of ceremony. “What the former premier wanted was to have no pomp and circumstance today, so obviously it was the right

thing in my mind to respect her wishes,” said McIver. “I think this is the day to remember the positive things,” he said, noting Redford’s government completed key trade corridors and expanded public release of government staff salaries. Some members of Premier Rachel Notley’s cabinet passed by the portrait on their way to a meeting. Government House Leader Brian Mason, who tangled with Redford in her time as justice minister and premier, said she “made a contribution. “I think some of that may have been lost in some of the controversies toward the end of her term.” An official ceremony had been in the works. In January, the government announced Redford had agreed to attend a spring unveiling ceremony. No reason was given for the deferral. But in April, an investigation was reopened into how Redford as justice minister chose a law firm headed up by her political adviser, who was also her ex-husband, to run a multibillion-dollar government lawsuit against tobacco companies for health costs. The case is ongoing, with all decisions being handled by officials in British Columbia to avoid any conflict of interest. Redford could not be reached for comment. She has avoided the public spotlight since she resigned in March 2014, one step ahead of a caucus revolt fuelled by a public scandal over exorbitant spending on herself and her inner circle.

JUDICIAL REVIEW

CALGARY — Jessica Daigle had a message Thursday for a judge whose future on the bench is being considered at a Canadian Judicial Council hearing. “My fantasy would be Justice (Robin) Camp not only acknowledging the error of his ways but, at this point in time, he really should consider resignation, because the public trust in the justice system is already waning,” said Daigle, 34, as she held a placard demanding “Dignity For Victims” outside the Calgary hearing room. A council committee is hearing from witnesses about Camp and his handling of a sexual assault trial in which he chastised the complainant, questioned her morals and suggested she didn’t try hard enough to fight off her alleged attacker. Daigle and her boyfriend, Donald Walker, who was holding a sign that read ‘Ignorance Is Not An Excuse,’ said they were dismayed by what they had heard. “So far I’ve been really disappointed. I understand they are trying to make a case to show that he has reformed in his thinking,” said Daigle, who described herself as a victim of

sexual abuse. “While I appreciate the education portion of this for someone in his position, he should have had that knowledge to begin with.” Daigle said her case never went to court after she was warned by a detective about how difficult it is for sexual assault victims during a trial. “When you go to court, they strip you apart, even though you are the victim. That to me was not something … I was prepared to deal with.” Camp’s comments while he was a provincial judge in Calgary in 2014 led the Alberta Appeal Court to order a new trial for the man he acquitted. Court transcripts show Camp asked the woman why she couldn’t just keep her knees together and told her that “pain and sex sometimes go together.” A law professor, paid by Camp to work with him, said the judge realized his remarks were “insensitive and inappropriate,” but has since been educated about the historic disadvantage women have faced during trials. “He was open and sincere and remorseful. He knew he had made some terrible mistakes. He was absolutely

open to that learning,” said Brenda Cossman, director of the Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies and a professor at the University of Toronto. She said some of Camp’s comments were “belittling and trivializing” the crime of sexual assault, but she be-

lieves he’s changed. “I cannot give two or five year warranties on my education, but … he seemed remorseful, he seemed prepared to admit where he was wrong,” said Cossman, who was called before the committee by Camp’s lawyer.

Gretzky a surprise guest at ribbon-cutting MAKE NEW MEMORIES, WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS AT NEW ROGERS PLACE: NO. 99

ROGERS PLACE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Great One says the ice isn’t as fast, but Edmonton’s new Rogers Place is a “special, special” arena where he hopes fans can make new memories and the Oilers can again win championships. Wayne Gretzky, who played for the Oilers from 1979 to 1988 and helped them win four Stanley Cups, was a surprise guest at Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the NHL team’s new shiny, silver downtown arena. “The ice isn’t quite as fast as Rexall, I tested it today. I seemed to be faster in the 90s than I am today,” he said to laughter from a crowd gathered at the new arena late Thursday afternoon. “But the atmosphere in the building is exactly what Edmonton is all about — it’s friendly, it’s classy, it’s nice, it’s warm …” Rogers Place replaces Rexall Place, home to the Oilers since 1974 in a city, and region, that loves the team, names streets after its players and delivers year-over-year sellout crowds. It seats 18,641 built at a cost of almost $614 million — a price tag shared by city taxpayers, ticket buyers and the Oilers. It is the centrepiece of a broad plan to revitalize the city’s downtown, an area long-dismissed as an after-hours hibernation zone landmarked by windswept parking lots and shuttered store fronts. Around the rink, in what has been branded the Ice District, a hive of business towers, condos, and hotels, are slowly taking shape. Inside Rogers Place, it’s a world of wide seats, open concourses, curtains and walls demarcated by 38 different ticket price points. Everything is upscale, punctuated above centre ice by a massive, high-definition scoreboard that spans blue-line to blue-line. Between the lower and upper bowls are exclusive rings of executive suites, theatre suites and loge seats. At the far end are a sports bar and an after-hourstype club. Between the blue-lines in the lower bowl are wider club seats, with exclusive lounge access. The rink lies east-west, so in the first and third periods the Oilers will have their backs to Ottawa and will shoot toward the Rocky Mountains. Ticket prices are higher than Rexall Place, in some cases double for a similarly located seat. A season ticket in the corner nosebleeds is $2,600. Sitting near the boards near centre ice for the year will cost $9,765. If you want to sit in the loge area by the rail with a drink in your hand for the season, that will be $15,750, please. The food is varied and rises to the high end: butter chicken curry, bison burger, perogy nachos, organic red beet and frisee salad, hot rum buns. There will be multiple art installations, including the three-metre high bronze statue of Wayne Gretzky hoisting the Stanley Cup, which had been in front of Rexall Place. The ribbon-cutting caps years of melodrama, debate, negotiation, bluff, bluster, apologies and anger

Convicted killer to get day parole

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Day parole has been granted to an Alberta man who was convicted of stabbing two men in the neck 11 years ago, killing one of them. Dustin Blair Loran was charged in the death of Darrel Kevis and the wounding of Matt McLean. Kevis, who was 44, and McLean, who was 18, were asleep during the September 2005 stabbing in Calgary. Loran pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and attempted murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 12 years. Parole Board of Canada documents obtained by Calgary radio station CHQR show Loran has completed a number of rehabilitation programs with no concerns noted. Loran, who has been in minimum security since July 2014, will be eligible for full parole next September. Loran had testified that he was drunk and angry following an argument with McLean, who was his roommate. In its decision released Aug. 25, the parole board said Loran “feels shame” for the pain and suffering he has caused.

apart like an accordion as they haggled over who should pay what. They had a deal in 2011, only to see it fall apart when Katz took another look at the numbers. Neither side would blink. Katz wooed Seattle as a relocation choice. Fans fumed. Katz apologized. Councillors and Katz came back together. In the spring of 2013 they had a deal. Concerns still remain over the rink, given the increase in traffic and the impact on low-income downtown residents and the homeless. Meanwhile, the Oilers, and their fans, need a pickme-up. The team, home to hockey’s last great dynasty, has missed the playoffs for 10 consecutive seasons. If they miss again in their new home it will be an NHL-record 11. They’re hoping that Connor McDavid, one of the most highly sought-after junior players since Sidney Crosby, will be the catalyst to turn Rogers Place into Rexall redux, where Stanley Cups are lifted and oil-drop faithful can once again revel in the glory of their times. “Oilers fans everywhere, your devotion to the team is incredible and inspired us to make Rogers Place the very best it could be,” Katz said at the ribbon-cutting. “Thank you for sticking by the team through thick and thin. This is the city’s building, but this is your house.”

New season, same result MISSED FG IN DYING SECONDS SEALS BRONCS VICTORY ON NFL KICKOFF BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Broncos 21 Panthers 20 Denver’s dominant defence came up big against Cam Newton again and the Broncos escaped with a 21-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers Thursday night when Graham Gano missed a 50-yard field goal with four seconds remaining. Newton was sacked three times and clobbered all night long but appeared to have done just enough to get a measure of revenge for that bludgeoning seven months earlier in Super Bowl 50, when Von Miller stripped the ball and the Lombardi Trophy from his grasp. Newton put the Panthers on the cusp of victory with a 21-yard pass to Kelvin Benjamin at the Denver 32 in the closing seconds, and another short pass to Ted Ginn Jr. put Gano well within his range. But Gano was wide left, and Trevor Siemian trotted out to take a knee in victory formation after his successful first NFL start. Peyton Manning’s successor finished 18 of 26 for 178 yards, one TD and two interceptions. Newton, the NFL’s reigning MVP,

High expectations for deep Canada roster BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The World Cup of Hockey makes its return in Toronto after a 12-year hiatus. Here’s a look at the eight teams involved in the tournament, which opens Sept. 17: Canada The unquestioned favourites, Canada will try to recapture the World Cup of Hockey after winning the last edition 12 years ago. The Canadians boast the deepest pool of talent in the tournament, stacked with Art Ross, Hart and Norris Trophy winners, as well as the last two goaltenders to win the Vezina. The forward contingent is loaded with speed, size, skill, smarts and a great degree of versatility. The puzzle pieces should be interchangeable for head coach Mike Babcock with just about every player capable of taking on a role or position as needed. There’s plenty of firepower, too. Twelve of the 13 forwards have scored at least 30 goals in an NHL season, including Brad Marchand, one of eight Canadians to do so last season. Canada offered one of the stingiest defensive showings ever at the 2014 Sochi Games, yielding a mere three goals all tournament. The World Cup defence took a hit with Duncan Keith sidelined by injury, but Shea Weber, MarcEdouard Vlasic, Drew Dougthy, Alex Pietrangelo

and Jay Bouwmeester all return to resume past duties. Incoming L.A. Kings defender Jake Muzzin adds defensive stability, likely alongside Doughty, while Brent Burns injects an air of enthusiasm and offensive pep. Carey Price should be a lock to start but hasn’t played since November after suffering a season-ending knee injury. If he can’t quickly return to past form Canada has Vezina Trophy winner Braden Holtby along with two-time Stanley Cup champ Corey Crawford. Anything less than victory will be a disappointment for this squad. North America The North Americans could be the most exciting team to watch at the World Cup. Built with players 23-and-younger from Canada and the U.S., this squad is bursting with some of the brightest young talents in hockey, from Connor McDavid to Aaron Ekblad, Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau and Nathan MacKinnon. Some in this group — McDavid certainly — might have even qualified for their respective nations had the rules of the tournament not forbid it. What should make this group tantalizing is the combination of all that youth together. Imagine Auston Matthews paired with fellow No. 1 overall picks Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nathan MacKinnon or Eichel teamed with the shifty Gaudreau. The defence is plenty young and inexperienced,

WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY

led by Ekblad, the Florida Panthers’ 20-year-old going on 30 along with Morgan Rielly of the Maple Leafs and Seth Jones from the Columbus Blue Jackets. How that youthful, if mobile, group handles powerful forward contingents like Canada’s will be of intrigue in September. Matt Murray, the Penguins Cup-winning goaltender, or John Gibson, the Ducks present and future in goal, offer promise but a degree of uncertainty when facing elite options on every team. They may not win the World Cup, but these young players will be worth watching. Sweden Silver medal winners in Sochi, the Swedes, with a stocked defence, stability in goal and deep forward contingent, are a good bet to challenge for the World Cup crown. There may be no better looking defensive group. Sweden’s back end is led by the incomparable Erik Karlsson and all-around Tampa Bay Lightning stalwart Victor Hedman, complemented by underrated types like Anton Stralman, Hampus Lindholm, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

Rebels look to Bobyk for leadership, discipline LOCAL SPORT Colton Bobyk returned to the Red Deer Rebels this season knowing more would be expected of him. As one of the three 20-year-olds on the Western Hockey League squad’s roster, the Rimbey native is expected to be a leader. “We know he can shoot the puck, but as a 20-year-old he is expected to be a leader on and off the ice and an impact player on the ice,” said Rebels associate coach Jeff Truitt, who also handles the defence. That’s fine with the veteran rearguard. “We lost a lot of good D men after last year so it’s a step up for myself, Josh (Mahura) and (Austin) Strand,” he said. “We’re expected to play a bigger role with more ice time. It’s up to us to do our jobs like the other guys did last year. “For myself as a 20-year-old it’s expected that I take some of the younger guys under my wing and do the right stuff, so they do the right stuff.”

Truitt knows the team as a whole needs consistency to have success. “We always talk about consistency game in and game out and talk about structure,” he said. “Colton shows he can do that, it’s a matter of finding the middle ground. He has the ability to play hard and make other guys pay the price. It’s a matter of consistency in back-to-back games and as a 20-yearold he’s put on a higher pedestal than everyone else and we expect more consistency in back-to-back games. In fact we want that from everyone.” One thing Bobyk does have is one of the most feared shots in the league. “Even then I have to continue to work on it,” he said. “It’s a matter of getting it on the net with consistency.” Bobyk is in the Rebels lineup this weekend, in a pair of exhibition games in Tri-City as part of their mini tournament.

ple camps and it’s a matter of just playing my game and not being nervous,” said the six-foot-one, 195-pound Bobyk. Bobyk was originally drafted in the 10th round (217 overall) 2011 WHL draft by the Spokane Chiefs. His low selection had a lot to do with the fact he played forward prior to that season with the bantam AAA Red Deer Rebels White team. He made the Chiefs in the 2013-14 season, scoring five goals and seven assists in 56 games. He started the 201415 season with the Chiefs, playing eight games before a knee injury, He was later traded to the Rebels and played 22 games, collecting four goals and seven assists. “I’ve had a pretty good career so far, with the biggest disappointment the knee injury (and surgery),” he said. “After that I feel I continued to move forward and hopefully continue to do so.” Bobyk would like nothing more than to eventually sign a pro contract but isn’t looking that far ahead. “That’s down the road. Right now it’s a matter of focusing on this season and having another good year.” Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate. com.

He is one of our top four defencemen and when he’s in the box it puts a lot of pressure on the other guys. “He cleaned his game up a lot as we went along. We’re hoping for the same thing this year.

The Blue Jays are hoping a return to Rogers Centre will help them bounce back after a three-game sweep in New York knocked Toronto out of first place in the American League East. New York Yankees third baseman Chase Headley tags out Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista out at third.

Five things to watch as Jays make their playoff push BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Blue Jays are hoping a return to Rogers Centre will help them bounce back after a three-game sweep in New York knocked Toronto out of first place in the American League East. The division race is the tightest in Major League Baseball. Toronto, Baltimore and the Yankees are all within striking distance of the first-place Boston Red Sox and there are several divisional games to come down the stretch. Here’s a look at five things to watch as the Blue Jays make their playoff push:

BIG GUNS

The Blue Jays have lined up their best starters for a key three-game series with the Boston Red Sox this weekend. Marco Estrada (8-7, 3.56 earned-run average) gets the nod in Friday night’s opener. Left-hander J.A. Happ (17-4, 3.34) will start Saturday and Aaron Sanchez (13-2, 2.92) is on tap Sunday. Toronto enters the series in second place in the East, one game behind the Red Sox. In the wild-card race, the Blue Jays and Orioles currently hold the two spots but several teams are close behind. Detroit is one game behind Baltimore and two games behind Toronto. Houston, New York, Kansas City and Seattle are also in the mix.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

Toronto had trouble cashing in runners earlier this week in New York. Improvement will be needed this weekend against Boston, a team with arguably the best offence in the major leagues. The Blue Jays cashed in only six of 28 runners in scoring position during the three-game series in the Bronx. Toronto was 0-for-8 in a 2-0 loss on Wednesday night. The Red Sox, meanwhile, lead the majors in runs (764), hits (1,397), team batting average (.286), on-base percentage (.351), slugging percentage (.467) and OPS (.817) entering Thursday’s games.

SEPTEMBER SKED

With the exception of a seven-game West Coast road trip, Toronto will only play East division opponents the rest of the way. After this weekend’s Boston series, the Tampa Bay Rays will close out the six-game homestand at

Stories from B1

SWEDEN: Real threat to Canada Every member of the group skates well, moves the puck easily, and has some degree of skill, making for an effortless transition to offence. Up front, the Swedes are led by the aging, but still productive Sedin twins as well as assets in their primes like Nicklas Backstrom and Loui Eriksson and emerging talents such as Filip Forsberg and Gabriel Landeskog. It’s a smart, responsible group with just enough firepower to complement that fine defence and goaltending, which comes once again from the great Henrik Lundqvist. There’s not a lot to dislike about the Swedes. They pose a real threat to the favoured Canadians. United States The Americans have the reigning NHL scoring champ and Hart Trophy winner in Patrick Kane, the deepest goaltending in the tournament, and a meat and potatoes-type roster otherwise. The Americans finished a disappointing fourth in Sochi, edged 1-0 by Canada in the semifinal before getting stomped 5-0 by Finland in the bronze-medal game. They opted against bringing back Phil Kessel, their leading scorer from that tournament, a Conn Smythe trophy candidate last spring and a real game-breaker on a roster that lacks many such options. The U.S. may be challenged by its over-reliance on feisty, blue collar types such as David Backes, Brandon Dubinsky, Justin Abdelkader and Ryan Kesler in a tournament booming with skill up top. Beyond Kane, Jets winger Blake Wheeler, Montreal captain Max Pacioretty, Wild star Zach Parise, and Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk, there’s just not the same degree of high-end skill in this group as there is with Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia and North America. It’s worth noting that the Americans were not permitted to

Rogers Centre. Following that, the Blue Jays will visit a pair of middling West Division teams in the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle Mariners before closing out the home schedule with four games against the Yankees and three games with the Orioles. Then it’s off to Fenway Park on Sept. 30 for a three-game season-ending set with the Red Sox. Boston will play all 23 of its remaining games against East opponents while Baltimore will play 17 of its 23 games against division rivals.

NUMBERS GAME

It took 93 wins for the Blue Jays to win the East last year and a number close to that will likely be needed to claim the division title this season. Toronto enters Friday’s game against Boston with a 77-62 mark. To get to 93 victories, the Blue Jays would need to close out the campaign on a 16-7 run (a .696 winning percentage). However, it’s possible that 90 wins could be enough since there are so many intradivision matchups on the schedule. That would require a 13-10 (.565) record the rest of the way. As for the two wild-card spots, Houston and New York qualified last year with 86 and 87 wins, respectively. A 9-14 (.391) mark from here would get Toronto to 86 victories. According to Fangraphs, the Blue Jays entered Thursday’s games with an 80.6 per cent chance of returning to the post-season with a 32.7 per cent chance of winning the East and a 47.9 per cent chance of claiming a wild-card spot.

SPOILED IN SEPTEMBER

The 2015 edition of the Blue Jays went on a second-half surge after then-GM Alex Anthopoulos made a series of deals before the trade deadline that gave the team a jolt. Toronto had a 51-51 record in late July last year before going a remarkable 42-18 run en route to their first division title since 1993. The core of the team’s offence returned this year while Happ and Sanchez have emerged as key starters in a rotation that former ace David Price anchored down the stretch. Price’s off-season departure for Boston as a free agent stung many Toronto fans. He’ll likely be on the mound in that season-ending series between the Red Sox and Blue Jays in what should be as close to playoff baseball as the regular season can get.

add teenage sensations like Eichel, Larkin, Matthews, Gaudreau or Shayne Gostisbehere, players who would’ve helped fill the skill gap. The defence is solid, if unspectacular, with all-around types such as Ryan Suter and Ryan McDonagh as well as a potential game-changer in Dustin Byfuglien. The high point of the roster though is in goal. With Jonathan Quick, Ben Bishop and Cory Schneider, the Americans have three of the best goaltenders in the tournament to choose from and that gives this group a fighting chance at the very least. Finland Typically overlooked despite a long track record of success internationally, including medals at five of the last six Olympics, the Finns are unlikely to slip by unnoticed this fall. This isn’t the aging roster led by Teemu Selanne, which landed bronze in Sochi, but one rather that’s brimming with youth. There’s Winnipeg Jets sensation Patrik Laine, Panthers top centre Aleksander Barkov as well as young defenders like Olli Maatta and Sami Vatanen. Thirteen players on the 23-man roster are aged 25 and younger. That should offer the Finns, who have always relied on savvy team defence and stable goaltending, a little more pep and excitement. Finland is especially young on the back end though, which could put more pressure on either Tuukka Rask or Pekka Rinne in goal. The future is coming to Finnish hockey. It just might be too soon for World Cup glory. Russia Perhaps no team in the tournament can boast game-breaking talent quite like the Russians. From Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin to Vladimir Tarasenko and Nikita Kucherov, Russia is loaded with explosive offensive talent. Of course, that’s usually the case with the Russians, who have nonetheless disappointed in the past two Olympics, including a disastrous fifth-place showing on home soil in 2014. This squad is deeper though, primarily due to the influx of talented young players like the 23-year-old Kucherov (30 goals last season), 24-year-old Tarasenko (40 goals) as

RIO DE JANEIRO — What Canada Did on Thursday, the opening day of competition at the Rio Paralympic Summer Games (distances in metres): ATHLETICS Women’s 100 (T53) — Ilana Dupont, Saskatoon, placed fourth in her qualifying heat with a time of 17.81 seconds, did not advance. CYCLING (TRACK) Women’s 3,000 (C4) individual pursuit — MarieClaude Molnar, Lemoyne, Que., was fifth in qualifying (4:08.452) and did not advance to the medal races. Women’s 3,000 (C5) individual pursuit — Nicole Clermont, Laval, Que., placed ninth in the qualifier (4:08.557), did not advance. Men’s 4,000 individual pursuit — Daniel Chalifour of Ste-Therese, Que., and Jean-Michel Lachance (pilot), Quebec City, did not qualify for the medal races after placing ninth (4:24.129) in qualifying. JUDO Women’s 52-kilogram class — Priscilla Gagne, Sarnia, Ont., lost her opening match Os1-0 to Cherine Abdellaoui of Algeria won in the repechage 100-0 (Ude-hishigi-sankaku-gatame at 1:19) over Liudmyla Lohatska, Ukraine and lost the bronze-medal bout to Sevinch Salaeva, Uzbekistan, 1s1-0 SWIMMING Men’s 100 backstroke (S14) — Gord Michie of St.Thomas, Ont., posted the seventh-fastest time in qualifying (1:03.46) , and was fifth in the final (1:05.12). Men’s 100 breaststroke (SB9) — James Leroux of Repentigny, Que., advanced to the medal race with the eighth-fastest time in qualifying (1:10.05), then placed seventh in the final (1:10.03) Isaac Bouckley, Port Hope, Ont., was ninth (1:12.39) and Alec Elliott, Kitchener, Ont., 10th (1:13.36) in the preliminaries — neither advanced. Men’s 200 freestyle (S5) — Danial Murphy, Beddford, N.S., was 13th overall in qualifying (3:07.41), did not advance. Women’s 100 backstroke (S7) — Tess Routliffe, Caledon, Ont. (1:29.96), and Sarah Mehain, Vernon, B.C. (1:32.65), were 10th and 11th in qualifying heats ) neither advanced.

WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL Women — Janet McLachland of West Vancouver, B.C., scored 21 points as Canada opened the preliminary round with a 43-36 win over Britain.

Castro beats the rain, leads at Crooked Stick CARMEL, Ind. — Roberto Castro was just as good before the rain as he was after the storms cleared and shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday for the temporary lead in the BMW Championship. Heavy rain delayed the opening round for 3 ½ hours and changed Crooked Stick’s greens from hard and fast to soft and accessible. The first round was to resume at 8 a.m. Friday, with more bad weather in the forecast. Brian Harman had a 66. Dustin Johnson drove into the water on the 18th hole for bogey, giving him a 67. Castro was among the 70 who advanced to the third FedEx Cup playoff event.

Williams loses in U.S. Open semis for 2nd year in a row NEW YORK — Serena Williams was upset in the U.S. Open semifinals for the second year in a row, beaten 6-2, 7-6 (5) by 10th-seeded Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic on Thursday night. Williams, who clutched at her left leg between points in the second set, double-faulted to end it. Afterward, her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, said Williams injured her left knee in the quarterfinals. The loss prevents Williams from earning her seventh championship at Flushing Meadows and 23rd major title overall, which would both have been Open-era records.

well as Artemi Panarin, the reigning Calder Trophy winner, and Evgeny Kuznetsov, the leading scorer (77 points) for the President’s Trophy-winning Washington Capitals. Stack those stars on top of Ovechkin, Malkin and Pavel Datsyuk, the now former Red Wing legend, and there’s plenty to fear here for World Cup opponents. Outside of 37-year-old Montreal Canadiens stalwart Andrei Markov, the defence is mostly a young contingent though and the goaltending is riddled with question marks as both Semyon Varlamov and Sergei Bobrovsky had rocky performances last season. The Russians rotated between the pair in Sochi. There’s plenty of talent in this group, but whether it translates into cohesive team success remains the question as always. Europe The European squad will represent eight different nations at the World Cup: France, Denmark, Germany, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Austria, and Norway. It’s a predictably mishmash roster tilted toward an aging group of declining NHL stars like Zdeno Chara (39 years old), Marian Hossa (37), Marian Gaborik (34), and Thomas Vanek (32). It’s unlikely that the old guard has enough left to make this a formidable threat, especially on defence, where Chara will be joined by 38-year-old Mark Streit, 35-year-old Dennis Seidenberg, and 34-year-old Christian Ehrhoff. New Kings captain Anze Kopitar gives the Europeans a powerful, two-way force down the middle, but there might not be enough scoring in this group to get by. The level of game-breaking talent is thin with Hossa, Gaborik and Vanek all having seen their best days pass by and Oilers upand-comer Leon Draisaitl still only 20 years old. Jaroslav Halak is a solid, if unspectacular option in goal. The talent on Team Europe just doesn’t compare with the Canadians, Swedes, Finns, North Americans or even Americans, making the squad n unlikely contender in Toronto. Czech Republic As thin as the Europeans might be

on offence and skill, the Czechs are even thinner, with a young roster that appears the weakest on paper heading into the World Cup. Perhaps the only fighting chance the Czechs have is Petr Mrazek, the likely No. 1 netminder who was one of the NHL’s best for the first half of last season. If Mrazek gets hot in this twoweek tournament it’s conceivable that this group could surprise. Still, it’s unlikely. The Czechs don’t have the skill to match up with Canada, a Group A opponent, nor the depth of the Americans or Europeans, especially with top centre David Krejci backing out because of injury. Jakub Voracek now fronts a forward contingent mixed with youth, such as 20-year-old David Pastrnak and 22-year-old Tomas Hertl, as well as aging talent like Milan Michalek and Ales Hemsky. The group on defence is easily the thinnest among the eight teams with Maple Leafs defender Roman Polak joined by the likes of Zbynek Michalek and Andrej Sustr.

NFL: Harris pick looms large Cornerback Chris Harris Jr., whose interception led to Denver’s go-ahead score minutes earlier, was called for illegal use of the hands, giving Carolina fresh hope. The Panthers took a 17-7 led into the fourth quarter of the first Super Bowl rematch to start a season since 1970 but Siemian hit running back C.J. Anderson for a 25-yard touchdown on the next snap. Newton’s next pass was intercepted by Harris at the Carolina 23 and 10 plays later, Anderson bulled his way in from the 1 to give Denver its first lead at 21-14 with 9:26 remaining. That came after the Broncos went for it on fourth-and-18 inches from the 1 1-2 and Anderson gained just enough for a new set of downs, then punched it in three plays later. After Gano’s 36-yard field goal brought the Panthers to 21-20, Carolina forced a three-andout and Newton & Co. got the ball back at their 40 with 3:06 remaining.

Team North America passes test with flying colours BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Team North America 4 Team Europe 0 QUEBEC — The youthful Team North America came as advertised — plenty of speed and skill — and it proved too much for Team Europe in the first pre-tournament test for both teams at the World Cup of Hockey. North America scored three goals in a 4:43 span of the second period and Matt Murray made 23 saves in a 4-0 victory over a European side that had several players still adjusting to playing on the smaller NHL-size ice. Nathan MacKinnon, with two goals including one on a penalty shot, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Johnny Gaudreau scored before a full house of 18,005 at the new Centre Videotron. “Speed and hockey sense were on display tonight,” said Connor McDavid, the 19-yearold Edmonton Oilers phenom who was named North America captain before the game. The European side had only 10 players at its first skate on Monday, with others joining the next day after playing in an Olympic qualifying tournament. The combination of rust, jet-lag and small ice left them with little resistance as North America, made up of players under 24, buzzed around for two periods before the Europeans finally settled down in the third. Shots ended up at 23-21 in favour of Europe. While McDavid was held without a point

despite several chances, MacKinnon’s line with Nugent-Hopkins and youngster Auston Matthews put on a show. Luca Sbisa was serving a tripping penalty when MacKinnon took the rebound of an Aaron Ekblad point shot off the end boards and beat Jaroslav Halak at the side of the net at 3:52 of the second frame. Nugent-Hopkins lost and recovered the puck twice to score on a solo effort at 6:22 and Gaudreau finished a two-man rush with Brandon Saad at 8:34. There had to be Montreal Canadiens fans in the building as Boston defenceman Zdeno Chara was booed regularly. They were delighted when Chara hooked down MacKinnon, who was speeding to the net, at 11:52 of the third period. That drew a penalty shot and the Colorado winger scored on a deke to the backhand after a slow approach to the net. “He’s an electrifying player,” Matthews said of MacKinnon. “His skating and puckhandling are unbelievable, some of the best I’ve ever seen. “It was easy to play with him and Nugent-Hopkins, who is a smart, 200-foot player who can make plays.” Centre Jack Eichel, who picked up an assist on Gaudreau’s goal, was also impressed. “We’re all a little surprised at how good everyone is,” he said. “People make plays you’re not expecting.”

Mill shooter ‘like a God-damned zombie’: security guard BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NANAIMO, B.C. — A veteran security guard testified he watched a zombie-like man walking towards another man in the parking lot of a Vancouver Island sawmill with his right arm outstretched before hearing an explosion. Michael Lauder told a B.C. Supreme Court trial in Nanaimo that he ducked out of sight after hearing the blast, and seconds later emerged to find Michael Lunn on his back, motionless and suffering from a serious wound to his right side and the back of his head. “I knew from looking at him that he had passed,” said Lauder, a 16-year employee of the Western Forests Products mill where the shooting took place. “He was face up with his eyes open. It appeared that there had been damage to the back of his head.” Kevin Addison, 49, is on trial facing two first-degree murder charges and two charges of attempted murder. Mill employees Fred McEachern and Lunn died in the April 30, 2014 shooting rampage, while Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly were shot but survived. Addison, a former mill employee, was arrested at the mill office minutes after police received calls about an active shooter at the site. Lauder told the jury that he saw a man approach Lunn from behind. “It seemed like a fraction of a second from the time I noticed the individual from the corner of my eye,” he said. “There was a bang and it was over.” Under cross-examination by defence lawyer John Gustafson, Lauder testified he didn’t recognize the man but described him as “frozen. His face was frozen, expressionless. He seemed quite rigid. I said zombie from the standpoint the individual seemed quite focused.” Lauder later agreed he originally told police on

the day of the shooting the man “was like a Goddamned zombie.” Lauder testified he ran from his security office to the company office to warn others, but when he arrived mill manager Andrew Vanger had an individual pinned to the ground and yelled, “call 911, call 911.” The jury also heard testimony from an RCMP officer who responded to an active shooter call at the mill and found blood, bodies and an emotionless man sitting on top of a sawed-off shotgun in the company office. Nanaimo RCMP Const. David Buchanan said it took him less than three minutes to arrive at the mill on Nanaimo’s waterfront. The shooting had already stopped and shortly afterwards Addison was arrested without resistance, Buchanan said. “He was emotionless, quiet,” said Buchanan. “He was able to get up on his own accord.” He said the only emotion shown by Addison was about 30 minutes later at the Nanaimo RCMP office when he threw his head back once and made a “grimace.” Buchanan, the second officer at the scene, said he was expecting “chaos.” He said he stopped at the mill parking lot where he saw a man on the ground receiving aid. There was blood pooling on the ground, Buchanan said. Crown prosecutors said the trial will hear evidence that Lunn was hit by a single shotgun blast to his back right arm moments after stepping out of his vehicle. Buchanan testified he then walked into the dark company office knowing his colleague Const. Paul Minkley was already inside. He said he helped Minkley put handcuffs on Addison and walked him to his police vehicle. The trial has heard that McEachern and Kelly were shot in the back and Sudar in the face.

IMMIGRATION

Clement proposes more security screening BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Conservative leadership candidate Tony Clement says he will propose enhanced security screening for immigrants — but not a values test — as part of a broader plan for countering the threat of terrorism. “If we can give our security personnel the right tools to identify potential threats to our country, then I believe that is exactly what we should be doing and quite frankly, that is where the threat is,” Clement said Thursday as he shared part of the national security platform he plans to unveil in greater detail next week. “It’s people who take their thoughts and then process those thoughts and then act on those thoughts to do damage to our society and to do violence to our society. That’s where our focus should be,” Clement said in an interview from Montreal. The Ontario MP and former cabinet minister initially declined to get into the debate over a proposal from leadership rival Kellie Leitch to vet immigrants and refugees for their views on what she calls anti-Canadian values. The idea was first floated in a questionnaire her campaign emailed to thousands of potential supporters last week. But with discussion over the Leitch proposal still dominating the otherwise sleepy leadership campaign and other candidates speaking up, Clement said Thursday he decided to comment to keep the issue from overshadowing his policy announcement next week. Clement said Leitch’s “trial balloon”, is not the right approach. “I think spending our resources to have government personnel deciding who or who is not going to be a good Canadian is neither practical nor desirable.”

Mulcair urged to step down BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Tom Mulcair is doubling down on his commitment to stay on as interim federal NDP leader despite mounting pressure for him to step aside ahead of a caucus retreat next week in Montreal. In a statement on Thursday, Mulcair said he is committed to staying because the caucus voted last spring to keep him in place until a new leader is selected in the fall of 2017. “Following our convention in the spring, our caucus asked me to stay on as leader until a new leader is chosen,” he said. “After a thorough conversation with all caucus members, I committed to doing just that.” The leader’s comments come as a number of party members — including current and former members of the federal caucus — whisper that it’s time for Mulcair to quit as leader as the party attempts to rebuild in wake of its stinging 2015 election defeat. Multiple sources, who spoke to The Canadian Press on the condition of anonymity for fear of being seen as openly critical of their leader, have confirmed a concerted push is underway. “If he doesn’t make a move on his own, he is going to face a revolt,” said a former MP. Veteran BC NDP MP Nathan Cullen, who is not running in the race to replace Mulcair, acknowledged internal matters like leadership need to be discussed as a team in Montreal. “Let us get together, let us sit down and talk together and we will come together,” Cullen said in an interview. “I really believe it. It has been my experience with NDP caucuses and I think it will be my experience with this caucus.” The party also needs to ensure its own politics do not get in the way of its work, Cullen added. “When you’re talking about yourself in politics, usually you are losing … Those internal conversations — you can only be in them for so long. Canadians do not have the NDP caucus on their minds. Canadians have decent jobs and a clean environment on their mind.”

PEACEKEEPING

Battle brewing over Liberal’s Africa plan BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TERRACE BAY, Ont. — Police say they recently had to put down a bear who wandered into a northern Ontario restaurant with her cubs. Ontario Provincial Police say they were called to the restaurant in Terrace Bay on Wednesday after the animals entered an open back door and started causing damage. They say the restaurant was occupied at the time, but employees managed to close a door before the sow and her two cubs could approach customers. Police say the mother bear had to be killed, while the cubs were captured by officials with the Ministry of Natural Resources and relocated to a bear sanctuary. They say all customers were safely evacuated from the restaurant and no one was injured.

Quebec man seeks federal reprieve as deportation to Italy loom BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — A Quebec man is facing deportation to his native Italy nearly two decades after a Mafia-linked drug conviction that is being cited as the reason for his possible expulsion. Michele Torre, 64, could soon have to leave Canada, the only place the husband and father of three has known for 50 years. Torre is scheduled to attend a meeting with Canada Border Services Agency on Friday and might receive a departure date then. The Supreme Court refused two weeks ago to hear his case and his family is hopeful the federal government will intervene. Two de- MICHELE TORRE partments are studying separate requests: one for a family sponsorship allowing him to stay and the other for a ministerial reprieve on humanitarian grounds. Stephane Handfield, Torre’s lawyer, said it was the first time in 24 years of practising law he has dealt with an expulsion case so long after a criminal conviction. Typically, he said, such action is triggered within a few years. “I consider it an abuse of process to wait 20 years before beginning the deportation process,” Handfield said. “We permit a man to establish himself, build a life. “If they’d done it in 1996, his children were still young, and Mr. Torre could have decided to leave for Italy then.” The Federal Court of Appeal found Torre had

failed to prove he’d suffered any prejudice due to the passage of time. Torre was a permanent resident after arriving from Italy in 1967. He was sentenced to nearly nine years in prison in 1996 after pleading guilty in a cocaine conspiracy case involving the Cotroni crime family, but no one mentioned a deportation order. He ended up spending just a few years behind bars. Torre’s inadmissibility only emerged years later after he applied for Canadian citizenship to obtain a pardon and facilitate travel to the United States. His family has a website and a petition aimed at appealing to the federal government. “If they would just realize what harm they’re doing to the entire family,” daughter Nellie Torre said in an interview. “He was punished, he did his time. Right now they’re punishing everybody else.” Torre, married for 42 years, is a father of three and grandfather of six. He also has a large extended family. Being asked to leave in the mid-1990s would’ve been different as his children were still young, Nellie said. “Now each one has a family, with kids, it’s a big, big difference,” she said. “In 20 years, we’ve built up another life.” Since 2013, the Canadian government has sought to remove Torre from Canada for “serious criminality and organized criminality.” Torre and his daughter dispute the assertion he was “Mafia-affiliated” or a “foot soldier” tied to the Cotroni family. Nellie Torre said her father was already working for a pub before it fell under Cotroni control and that he paid dearly for doing as he was asked. In 2006, Torre found himself swept up again by police, this time during a massive operation aimed at dismantling Montreal’s powerful Italian Mafia. He spent nearly three years in preventive custody, but was ultimately acquitted.

OTTAWA — Battle lines are being drawn between Liberals and Conservatives as the government prepares to deploy hundreds of Canadian troops to an as-yet-unannounced United Nations peacekeeping mission in Africa. The pending clash, which is breaking along ideological lines, was previewed Thursday and is expected to figure prominently when the House of Commons returns from its summer break later this month. At a peacekeeping summit in London, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan affirmed the government’s plan to make up to 600 soldiers and 150 police officers available for peace operations. The government will also spend $450 million on peace support projects, and will host a similar peacekeeping summit next year. “Supporting and encouraging peace is certainly part of what it means to be Canada,” Sajjan told counterparts from around the world. “Canada has a rich history of supporting and building peace around the world. We have seen the tremendous contributions that Canada and our allies can make, and we stand ready to take up this role again.” But even as Sajjan was touting the return of Canadian blue berets, Conservative defence critics James Bezan and Pierre Paul-Hus were in Ottawa taking shots at the UN’s record on peacekeeping, and the Liberal government’s motives for pursuing such a mission. Raising the spectre of peacekeeping failures including Rwanda and Bosnia, which many Canadians still remember, the Tories said the UN hasn’t proven itself capable of managing peacekeeping missions. Instead, Bezan held up Canada’s participation in the U.S.-led war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or Daesh, as an example of a proper military mission. Canada has about 800 troops in the region, including 200 special forces operatives in northern Iraq and three aircraft operating out of Kuwait. “In the last 15 years,” he said, “our success in these types of missions has been in peacemaking, not in peacekeeping.” The Conservatives also accused the Liberals of being more interested in winning a UN Security Council seat than actually participating in a mission that is in Canada’s national interest. “The ultimate goal here is to achieve a seat at the UN Security Council when it becomes available,” Bezan told reporters. “That to me is politics, and we shouldn’t be using our troops as pawns.”

World BRIEFS Texas sheriff: 1 student dead, 1 hurt in school shooting ALPINE, Texas — A 14-year-old girl died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after shooting and injuring another female student Thursday inside a high school in West Texas, according to the local sheriff. Authorities haven’t released a possible motive for the gunfire that erupted shortly before 9 a.m. at Alpine High School in Alpine, about 350 km southeast of El Paso. The shooting was followed by a series of unrelated threats to other locations in the area made by a male caller that added to the chaos of the day and diverted law enforcement from the high school. “That’s ridiculous for someone to call in something like this when we’ve got this situation going on,” Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson told radio station KVLF. The sheriff said the family of the girl who died had moved to Alpine, a town of roughly 5,900 residents, about six months ago. She was a freshman at the school, he said, but he declined to provide other details. In recent decades, the majority of school shooting suspects have been male.

Frantic woman calls family from trunk of car before death HELENA, Mont. — A terrified Montana mother called her husband from the dark trunk of a moving car to say she had been overpowered at a highway rest stop and didn’t know where she was. The call set off a frantic search by her family and law enforcement that ended when Rita Maze’s body

Friday, Sept. 9, 2016 was found Wednesday in the trunk of her car, abandoned near Spokane International Airport in Washington state. The 47-year-old Maze had been shot to death, a medical examiner said Thursday. Authorities and family members believe the abduction was random. A suspect has not been identified. “It makes no sense,” her 23-year-old daughter, Rochelle Maze, said. “They could have taken the car, could have taken money from her. And then they leave the car there, and that’s because this is an evil monster of a person.”

Russia: Israel, Palestinian leaders agree to meet for talks MOSCOW — Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced on Thursday that the Israeli and the Palestinian leaders have agreed “in principle” to meet in Moscow for talks in what the Russians hope will relaunch the Mideast peace process after a more than two-year break. But the wide gaps between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas left it uncertain if or when the meeting will take place, and raised doubts about whether they would make any progress if they do get together. In another twist, an Israeli TV station reported that a document discovered by two Israeli researchers indicated that Abbas had worked for the Soviet intelligence agency, the KGB, while living in Syria in the early 1980s. The professors said they were coming forward with the information to discredit Moscow as an honest broker in peace talks. After years of taking a back seat to the U.S. in Mideast diplomacy, Russia has increasingly sought to take a leadership role in the region. It has developed close ties with Iran and sent fighter jets to Syria to back President Bashar Assad in his war against rebel groups. In Washington, a spokesman said the U.S. State Department is following the Russian efforts closely and would “be supportive” of any kind of effort to bring the parties together. Thursday’s announcement in Moscow indicates that Russia is pushing forward with its attempt to

become a peace broker after a setback earlier in the week. On Tuesday, Abbas said that a meeting scheduled in Moscow this week had been delayed at Israel’s request. While bringing the men together would represent an accomplishment for Moscow, a diplomatic breakthrough seems unlikely. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remain far apart on key issues, and their differences have prevented meaningful talks since Netanyahu took office in 2009. The last round of peace talks broke down two and a half years ago, with no progress reported during months of U.S.-brokered negotiations.

Clinton blasts Trump’s comments on military generals, Putin KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Hillary Clinton blasted Donald Trump Thursday for his condemnation of American military generals and his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying her Republican opponent had “failed” at proving he can be commander in chief. “Every Republican holding or seeking office in this country should be asked if they agree with Donald Trump about these statements,” Clinton said in a news conference the morning after both candidates appeared at a national security forum. Trump did not directly respond to Clinton’s critique Thursday. At a speech in Cleveland, he tagged his Democratic opponent with a new nickname — “trigger-happy Hillary” and repeated his incorrect claim that he opposed the war in Iraq “from the beginning.” Still, Clinton indicated later in the day that she does not want the final weeks to be exclusively focused on Trump, unveiling plans for a series of policy speeches aimed at promoting a positive message. That effort started in Kansas City on Thursday night with an address on faith at the National Baptist Convention. Clinton did take some thinly veiled shots at Trump, but she also made an appeal to African-American voters and reflected on her Methodist faith. “I’ve made my share of mistakes. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t,” said Clinton. “It’s grace that lifts us up and grace that leads us home.”

Gateway to County Kerry ON IRELAND’S SOUTHWEST COAST, HISTORY-RICH KENMARE IS ENCIRCLED BY A STUNNING LANDSCAPE

Gleninchaquin’s waterfalls. BY ANNE CALCAGNO ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Stepping out of the Dublin airport, the polyglot crowd of Germans, Americans, Poles, Spaniards and French waiting for rental cars on this early May morning seems confirmation that left-side driving should be a cakewalk. Fast forward. We’re barely half an hour into our adventure, experiencing vertigo, my husband clenching the steering wheel, circling a roundabout he can’t seem to exit, when we gain two critical insights: First, we should have eased into this dyslexic driving, especially with jet lag; second, GPS navigation is essential, utterly worth incurring roaming charges. Our friends have retired to Kenmare, in south-

west Ireland, prompting our visit to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in my husband’s ancestral land. We’re driving from Dublin to Cork to spend a week exploring Kenmare’s environs. From there, we’ll depart for four days of staggering coastal drives, dipping into the Wild Atlantic Way, through the Ring of Kerry, Valentia Island and the Dingle Peninsula, staying nightly at bed-and-breakfasts. As we approach Kenmare, five hours southwest of Dublin, hills smooth as brushed velvet are dotted with sidestepping cows. We catch sight of ewes and bleating lambs, their fleeces dabbed with blue, red or orange dye, indicating their owners. We’re in the land of wool and dairy. We’re also skirting the Atlantic Ocean. Road signs with a cheery turquoise wave point to Wild Atlantic Way: 1,600 westernmost miles of awe-inspiring coastal road. Kenmare is deeply nestled in an Atlantic bay, poised between the Iver-

Downtown Kenmare has a color palette straight out of a child’s coloring box, overseen by the copper-covered spire of Holy Cross Church. Like an efficient and compact primer, Kenmare provides a bite-size view into Ireland’s long history; its walking-distance attractions range from ancient Celtic to contemporary Irish. A five-minute walk away from Kenmare’s Main Square, a somber mound features a large Bronze Age stone circle: 15 huge, standing stones surround a flat-topped boulder dolmen, marking an ancient seat of Celtic power.

STORIES FROM PAGE C1

KENMARE: Designed around a traditional English village green Skip forward a couple of millennia to Oliver Cromwell’s victorious Irish Campaign, and the new reign of British landlords, among whom was Sir William Petty. Circa 1670, he founded Kenmare, designed around a traditional English village green, now Main Square. (Actually, it’s more of a triangle!) To further cement a British town feel, in 1775, his great-grandson, William Petty-Fitzmaurice, 2nd Earl of Shelburne (who later became prime minister), instituted Kenmare’s unusual “X” plan, converging Kenmare’s roads upon the Square. Subsequent absentee British landlords oversaw the deaths of at least a million tenant farmers during the potato famine, from 1845 to 1852. The national tragedy converted Kenmare in two ways. The city became the site of a local travel office for the White Star Line and the last glimpse of home for many a 19th-century Irish emigrant. And it compelled the Poor Clare’s nuns to open a convent here, providing aid. Priests taught boys literacy, leatherworking and woodcarving. But bold Sister Mary Francis Clare, says historian Stanley Edward Goddard, had an “overwhelming desire to allow women to be educated on a similar footing to men.” The nuns taught premium laceworking. Meet Nora and Emer Finnegan at the Kenmare Lace Centre — both authors, historians and teachers — keeping the tradition alive. Nora informs me: “Queen Victoria wore a lot of lace and it sure made a heck of an amount of employment for our women. Understand that, in 1866, a Texas woman paid 300 pounds for a Kenmare lace bedspread when you could buy a house for 100 pounds.” Thousands of young women were given an education and a portable skill, their equipment — tatting shuttle, thread, needles, crochet hooks —small enough to fit in a pocket, and take to America. Original artisanship continues to distinguish Kenmare today. Sure, some stores sell the ubiquitous heraldic mementos and shamrock jewelry — “paddywhackery” as the locals call it. More notably, Kenmare is a haven for shops offering cutting-edge crafts. Creations sells designer Sabine Lenz’s bracelets

inscribed with “croi álainn” (beautiful heart in Gaelic); Cleo sells Avoca woollens, modern leatherwork, and, like the lovely Purcell Art Gallery, beautiful contemporary art. At PFK, we watch master goldsmith Paul Kelly working and chatting away. “I was out on the skiff this morning,” he regales us, “and I tell you there wasn’t a sinner around.” We relish good traditional Irish fare: live music, fish and chips, bangers and mash at O’Donnahbain’s. But we also savour high-end fish dishes at Tom Crean Food & Wine. The

eateries of Kenmare take delectable risks. At Mick and Jimmy’s for breakfast, owner Mick Wilson explains the contemporary California foodie vibe: “We wanted to shake things up a bit.” Neil Harrington, who along with his son, Stan, runs the excellent Virginia’s Guesthouse right upstairs, agrees: “A lot of people are tired of the cholesterol artery-clogging Irish food.” Kenmare also boasts the Park Hotel Kenmare, a grand former Victorian country estate, evoking Downton Abbey elegance. In short, Kenmare is compact and cosmopolitan, historic and avant-garde. Even the bustling weekly Wednesday market reverts in-

to a time-honored muddy animal fair every Aug. 15, the Feast of the Assumption. Finally, and not to be ignored, is the stunning landscape encircling Kenmare. As the vector for many trails and roads, Kenmare is a hiker’s, biker’s and driver’s dream. Daily jaunts take us, easily, to Killarney National Park, to Gleninchaquin Park’s waterfalls, to the imposing Neolithic Uragh Stone Circle. Into the Sheen Valley Heritage area and through the rock-hewn Caha Pass. There’s Moll’s Gap and Ladies’ View for panoramas. Or Priest’s Leap with Bantry Bay to the south, the Caha Mountains to the north and Macgillycuddy’s Reeks showing off Ireland’s highest peak, Carrauntoohil. The landscape modulates with cliffs, moors, meadows, woodlands, bogs, rivers, lakes. Blossoming gorse and grasses make a gold and green carpet across the hillsides. Honeysuckles, fuchsias, foxgloves and rhododendrons blaze brightly. We depart from Kenmare for our southwestern coastal tour. We’ve become semi-competent Irish roadsters but, even better, we are motoring in the opposite direction of the many tour buses. They clog the roadway and block views — but not so much when proceeding clockwise, with comely Kenmare in our rear-view. Calcagno is a writer based in Chicago.

Art given urban setting in Regina COPIES OF FIVE ARTWORKS IN THE MACKENZIE ART GALLERY’S PERMANENT COLLECTION ON DISPLAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The MacKenzie Art Gallery is expanding its outdoor installation of art reproductions scattered across downtown Regina. Copies of five artworks in the MacKenzie’s permanent collection, among the gallery’s public favourites, are being placed along city streets and in Victoria Park, adding to the seven installed in September 2015 in various locations. The new reproductions, to be unveiled Sept. 30, are of works by Colleen Cutschall, David Garneau, Marion Long, Arthur McKay and Mary Pratt — all Canadian artists. “I’ve tried where possible to create a connection between the painting and the place where it is installed,” MacKenzie head curator Timothy Long explained. That connection is sometimes ironic. For example, Long’s painting of a mysterious woman in a kimono, called “Black and Gold,” is being installed in front of the formerly men’s only Assiniboia Club building on Victoria Avenue. In 1933 the Toronto-based artist became the second woman to gain full membership in the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. “I thought, here’s a woman who broke into the old boys’ club,” the curator said. “She deserves to be outside this old boys’ club.” As well, Garneau’s painting of a Metis flag rising like a flower is being situated “maybe 100 feet” from the British and Canadian flags flying in front of the downtown legion, he said. “These things speak to each other. Once you put artwork out in public space a whole other range of interpretations come into play,” Long said. Last year’s installation featured works by Roy Kiyooka, Wanda Koop, Piet Mondrian, Francois Musin, Allen Sapp, Harold Town and Mary E. Wrinch. A map of their locations — near Regina’s city hall, in Victoria Park and Wascana Park — is at bit.ly/2c1F2wV. The painting by Musin, who was from Belgium, is located across the street from where the original was once housed, in the collection of Norman MacKenzie, founder of what has become Saskatchewan’s largest public art gallery. The original work, of a storm at sea, survived a tornado that ripped the roof off MacKenzie’s home. The gallery’s outdoor program, a partnership with the city and the downtown Business Improvement District, was inspired by a similar undertaking by the Detroit Institute of Arts and makes use of recent advances in printing technology to produce attractive works that can survive exposure to a harsh climate. Long said he’s surprised at how well the first seven have stood up to the sun and snow. “They do look spectacular,” he said, “just as fresh as the day they were installed.” The goal is to swap some of the reproductions out with new ones over time if funding for the program, dubbed “art(outside),” can be maintained. “We know that it’s reaching people,” Long said. “People walk by and they look and they take a sec-

United Airlines CEO cites Farmers’ Almanac for weather reports BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — CEO Oscar Munoz says United Airlines is busy preparing for bad weather this winter in Chicago, and he’s got an unlikely source for that insight – Farmers’ Almanac. In an interview with the public radio program Marketplace, Munoz said that airlines can’t control the weather but shouldn’t use it as an excuse. They must plan for surprises, he said. “A very quick example,” Munoz told the interviewer. “Farmers’ Almanac is calling for a very nasty winter, particularly in Chicago, one of our main hubs. So as we speak, our operating team is hard at work as to how are we going to accommodate passengers.” A spokesman said Wednesday that United doesn’t consult Farmers’ Almanac, but Munoz’s comment drew ridicule from those who regard the publication as less than scientific. “I’m not flying United unless my astrologist tells me it’s OK,” said John Knox, an aviation-meteorology expert

at the University of Georgia. Farmers’ Almanac, which has been around since 1818, predicts that after a mild season last year, “winter is back!” It says that exceptionally cold “if not downright frigid weather” will dominate parts of the Great Lakes and Midwest. A similar-sounding publication dating to 1792, The Old Farmer’s Almanac, predicts that winter in Illinois will be warmer than normal but snowfall will be above average. Jan Null, a meteorologist for Golden Gate Weather Services, found that The Old Farmer’s Almanac forecast for the Chicago area last winter was wrong — instead of cold, dry weather, the region was warmer and wetter than usual. Munoz didn’t say explicitly that he relied on either publication, and a United Airlines rep said the CEO’s words were being taken out of context. “Oscar spoke anecdotally when he referred to the Farmers’ Almanac, and that was in regards to the high likelihood of severe winter weather in the Chicago area this upcoming season,” spokesman Charles Hobart said.

New York Fashion Week watch BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS New York Fashion Week kicked off a day before its official start with Kanye West debuting his latest Yeezy collection far outside the Manhattan fashion fray and Kendall and Kylie Jenner talking about their own collection. Some highlights so far: AWAY FROM THE MANHATTAN CROWD In sweltering heat, set to a slow, morose soundtrack, Kanye West debuted the fourth season of his Yeezy collection for Adidas at a park memorializing Franklin D. Roosevelt’s famous four freedoms: of speech and worship, from want and fear. Helping to kick off New York Fashion Week, West lured the fashion crowd, along with wife Kim Kardashian and two of her famous sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, to Roosevelt Island just off Manhattan on Wednesday. There, “multicultural” models, per his criticized casting call over the long holiday weekend, stood under a blazing sun as they greeted sweaty guests in beige and black leotards, bodysuits and other clingy, revealing foundation garments. Some were thonged. Some were two pieced and under-boobed. Some were non-distinct. A handful of more than 100 models hired for the marathon afternoon (as opposed to fashion shows that usually take 10 minutes or so) just plain sat down in the grass where they stood barefoot, felled by sizzling temperatures and walking once or twice to a box of bottled water set up at the front just for them. Music by performance artist Vanessa Beecroft heralded more models who

Among West’s walkers was a fierce-looking Teyana Taylor, the star of his new Fade video. Among his other celeb guests: Pharrell, Spike Jonze and Tyga. —Leanne Italie MACY’S FRONT ROW FASHIONS Macy’s held its second annual Fashion’s Front Row runway show Wednes-

day night at Madison Square Garden, mixing fall creations from several top designers with musical performances from Flo Rida and Ariana Grande. The looks — all of them immediately available at Macys.com — were eclectic. Tommy Hilfiger offered a nautical theme with designs like navy blue pea coats and blue and white striped shirts, while the Rachel Roy collection offered bohemian looks that included different types of turbans. The show, hosted by TV personalities Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, also gave a nod to the athleisure trend — designs from a collection of athletic

brands like Fila, Reebok and Adidas were highlighted in a strobe-lit techno display. The runway show also featured looks heavy on floral patterns from Macy’s private INC brand collection in collaboration with New York fashion icon Iris Apfel. But Apfel said there is no such thing as a must-have in your fashion wardrobe. “I don’t believe in any musts,” she said. “A must is what you want and what you like and what becomes you, what you can afford and what you’re happy with.” —Anne D’Innocenzio

Why Messi went blond

com) to Mingo, a popular Argentine comedian, on the Telefe network show Polemica en el bar over the weekend. “I had to start again from scratch. I said to myself, ‘I have to make a clean break and start over.’ “ Messi, who ended his weeks-long retirement in time to captain Argentina’s 1-0 win over Uruguay in their World Cup qualifier last week, first showed off his blond locks during Barcelona’s preseason training camp in late July to mixed reviews. Some people liked his new look. And others, well, not so much… Messi’s means to finding himself may have led to a fashion trend.

It turns out, Lionel Messi is just like us. When he experiences heartbreak, he gets out of his funk by giving himself a fresh new look. That’s what happened this summer when the 29-year-old superstar and the Argentina national team lost the Copa America final to Chile for the second time in a row. After taking a few weeks to wallow (he even retired for a short stint), the Barcelona striker reemerged on the scene stronger — and blonder — than ever. “One particularly tough day I dyed my hair,” Messi explained (via Goal.

Sisters Kendall Jenner, left, and Kylie Jenner, speak to the media at a party for their KENDALL + KYLIE collection in downtown Manhattan. Their fashion collection includes clothing, footwear and handbags.

Kendall, Kylie Jenner display their own creations BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — It was quite the family fashion day for Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who came straight from brother-in-law Kanye West’s Yeezy show on Roosevelt Island off Manhattan on Wednesday to their own party celebrating their fashion label, KENDALL + KYLIE. The fashionista sisters (and reality TV stars) said they were gradually becoming more confident designers with each new collection. “I think that every season we get more and more comfortable,” said Kendall, 20, who as a model is a frequent presence on top-designer runways at Fashion Week. “It’s super-awesome. The line grows with us.” Added Kylie, 19, also expected to be hitting the runway this week: “We’ve learned how to work with each other better. I mean, everything down to certain fabrics and patterns. We definitely learned a lot.” The sisters said they’ve benefited from appearing as models for design-

ers they admire. “I think it’s cool to be able to see both sides,” Kendall said. “I get to see the designers that I work with who are obviously on a much higher level than our brand at the moment. It’s cool to see their process and what they have to go through behind the scenes, because it’s kind of a goal to set and somewhere that I would like to be one day.” At the party, in the multi-tiered, technology-heavy Samsung 837 venue in downtown Manhattan, guests sipped cocktails and munched on hors d’oeuvres as they examined the new collection — heavy on leather, both black and white. Spray-paint artist Malcom Stuart was on hand to decorate T-shirts with his own custom emojis One could also get a leather backpack monogrammed on the spot. Many in the crowd had just spent the afternoon in the hot sun at West’s marathon, al fresco Yeezy show for Adidas. The Jenner sisters were full of praise. “It was so awesome,” said Kylie. “I love watching his stuff.”

Exorcising race demons CRYSTAL RHYNO RUNNING WITH RHYNO “Shut up, stop whining and think about Fast Eddy.” That’s the sound advice my coworker Jeff Stokoe, a former ultra runner turned Crossfit geek, shared on Thursday. Tomorrow I will be at the Lost Soul starting line in Lethbridge to challenge the 54K distance. Jeff had run the 100-miler in his younger days winning in 2006 and placing second in 2007. He said in those low moments I should think about Fast Eddy, who just breezed through Central Alberta on his campaign to raise money and awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. Fast Eddy runs somewhere between 50K and 190K every single day. Point taken. After months of training and driving to Bragg Creek, I will finally run/hike/crawl the race that has haunted me since 2014. You may recall that I finished the race, but I was not happy. Simply put, I was not prepared for the race. The heat did me in, etc. End of story. Saturday will bring a new race experience and adventure. Months ago, I had all these delusional time goals that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. But as the race day approached and reality sunk in, I became more realistic about my goals. I looked at my training (mostly awesome) and my progress (not too bad). I knew that I had to adjust my goals. It happens. Most runners often change goals due to injury or hiccups in training. It’s important to set goals as runners and it is equally important to listen to your body. Today I have a goal – to finish – (and another secret goal, which I will share with you after the race). I will join several runners from Red Deer in-

Apple brings GPS to the Apple Watch in fitness tracking push Apple showed off a new version of its Apple Watch, the first hardware upgrade for the device, showing the company’s dedication to a product some have said is being held back by its attachment to the iPhone. The new watch includes a faster processor, a brighter screen and a GPS chip for fitness tracking, Apple Chief Operating Office Jeff Williams said Wednesday at an event that introduced its updated products including new iPhones. The company also showed off a number of new apps for the device, including the popular game Pokemon Go. Apple shipped its first watch in April 2015, hoping for a new blockbuster product amid slowing iPhone sales, which contribute more than 60 percent of the Cupertino, California-based company’s annual revenue. While the company shipped 1.6 million devices from April to June, the product’s growth fell more than 56 percent from the same period in 2015, according to research analyst IDC. Now, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook is banking on the new models to reinvigorate interest in the category.

cluding the brat pack of the Red Deer Runners: Bill Kossmann (100K), Debbie Dyrland (100K) and Ed Vardy (54K) in Lethbridge. Because the 100K and 100-milers start on Friday and the “baby” ultra race starts on Saturday morning, I don’t actually get to see many of the other racers. Sunday morning breakfast is one of the biggest draws of the race. You get to thank the volunteers and chat with the other racers (if you recognize them) over breakfast. The race director team also hands out the awards. Although I only ran the race once, I remember the morning was so much fun. Everyone was so clean and happy. Some people were limping (in some cases with exaggeration) and others looked like they did not run 100 miles or 100K just a day earlier.

Healthy lifestyle choices reduce dementia risk PADMAJA GENESH SENIORS Today approximately 564,000 Canadians are living with dementia. It is estimated that by 2031, this number will climb to 1.4 million and by 2050, it will rise to 2.8 million. The present situation is such that we either have a family member with dementia or we know someone who does. But still how much do we really know about dementia? The majority of individuals in the community, with the exception of those touched by the disease, believe that dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are the same. Dementia is not a single disease, but refers to a group of conditions characterized by symptoms such as memory loss, difficulty making simple decisions, communication difficulties, personality changes, and changes in mood and behaviour. Alzheimer’s disease is the commonest cause of dementia among older adults, and it is just one type of de-

mentia. It is a progressive, non-reversible, degenerative disease of the brain that slowly destroys memory, reasoning and decision-making abilities, and even the ability to perform simple tasks of daily living. The medications currently available to treat Alzheimer’s Disease such as Aricept, Exelon, Reminyl, and Ebixa, are effective only in the early stage of the disease, and help to maintain the current level of functioning for a longer period of time. They do not stop or slow the progression of the disease. Nevertheless, early diagnosis is the key to proper management of the disease. Early diagnosis also helps us plan for the future. Early diagnosis is possible only if we are aware of the warning signs of dementia. The warning signs include memory loss, disorientation or getting lost in familiar places, difficulty doing familiar tasks, problems with language, misplacing things, poor judgments, loss of initiative, changes in personality and changes in mood and behaviour. Sometimes the early signs of dementia, such as forgetfulness, tip-ofthe tongue situations, mood changes, etc. can be confused with normal ag-

ing. If these symptoms are occurring more frequently than before, and are causing difficulty in your daily life, it is more suggestive of dementia. According to the latest research published by Dr. Ismail and his team, some mood and behaviour changes, can be the early signs of a dementia that is developing, and these changes can be observed several months before a person develops memory loss. By tracking these mood and behaviour changes it is possible to identify someone who might be developing early dementia. The Behaviour Inventory developed by Dr. Ismail and his team could help in early diagnosis of the disease. So, is there anything we can do to reduce the risk of dementia? Research has shown that by adopting healthy life style choices and by regular intellectual stimulation, we can minimize the risk of dementia and improve our brain health as we age. Suggested strategies include engaging in a variety of mentally stimulating activities (learning a new language, developing a new hobby, doing puzzles); reducing stress through relaxation techniques (Yoga, Tai-Chi, listening to music); leading a socially active lifestyle; en-

gaging in regular physical exercise (brisk walking); following a healthy diet (such as the Mediterranean diet or MIND diet); and keeping the blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight in the normal range. If you are already experiencing any of the symptoms of dementia or observing some of the symptoms in a family member, please consult the family doctor and have it thoroughly checked out. If you are looking for more information about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, please contact the local Alzheimer Society or visit the website www. alzheimercalgary.ca. September is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Now is the time to take action. Contact your local Alzheimer Society today to gain knowledge and stay empowered! Padmaja Genesh, who holds a bachelor degree in medicine and surgery as well as a bachelor degree in Gerontology, has spent several years teaching and working with health care agencies.

Don’t leave hospital until you know what comes next OFTEN INSTITUTIONS DON’T TAKE REALITY OF SENIORS’ LIVES INTO ACCOUNT BY JUDITH GRAHAM ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Everything initially went well with Barbara Charnes’ surgery to fix a troublesome ankle. But after leaving the hospital, the 83-year-old soon found herself in a bad way. Dazed by a bad response to anesthesia, the Denver resident stopped eating and drinking. Within days, she was dangerously weak, almost entirely immobile and alarmingly apathetic. “I didn’t see a way forward; I thought I was going to die, and I was okay with that,” Charnes remembered, thinking back to that awful time more than a year ago. Her distraught husband didn’t know what to do until a longtime friend – a neurologist – insisted that Charnes return to the hospital. That’s the kind of situation medical centers are trying hard to prevent. When hospitals readmit aging patients more often than average, they can face stiff government penalties. But too often, institutions don’t take the reality of seniors’ lives adequately into account, making it imperative that patients figure out how to advocate for themselves. “People tell us over and over, ‘I wasn’t at all prepared for what happened’ and ‘My needs weren’t anticipated,’ ” said Mary Naylor, director of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. It’s a mistake to rely on hospital staff to ensure that things go smoothly: Medical centers’ interests (efficiency, opening up needed beds, maximizing payments, avoiding penalties) are not necessarily your interests (recovering as well as possible, remaining independent and easing the burden on caregivers). Instead, you and a family member, friend or caregiver need to be prepared to ask plenty of questions and push for answers. Here’s what doctors, health policy experts, geriatric-care managers, older adults and caregivers recommend: Start planning now Planning for a transition home should begin as soon as you’re admitted to the hospital, advised Connie McKenzie, who runs Firstat Care Management Services in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. You may be too ill to do this; have someone you trust ask your physician how long you’re likely to be hospitalized and whether you’ll be sent home or to rehabilitation afterward. Ask whether a physical therapist can evaluate you or your loved one at the hospital. (Among the questions that need to be answered are these: Can you get out of bed by yourself? Walk across the room?) Then discuss what difficulties might arise back home: Will you be able to handle your own bathroom needs? Get dressed? Climb stairs? How can you find the assistance you might require? Request a consultation with a nutritionist: What kinds of foods will and won’t you be able to eat? Does your diet need to change over the short term or the longer term? Consider where you’ll go next. If you or your loved one will need rehabilitation, now is the time to start researching facilities. Ask a hospital social worker for advice or, if you can afford it, hire a geriatric-care manager (also called an aging life care professional) to walk you through your options. Before being discharged Don’t wait to learn about the care that will be required at home. Will a wound need to be dressed? A catheter needs tending to? What’s the best way to do this? Have a nurse show you, step-by-step, and then

practice in front of her – several times, if that’s what it takes. Ann Williams watched a nurse give her 77-yearold mother a shot of warfarin two years ago after the older woman was hospitalized in Denver for a blood clot. But when it was Williams’ turn to give the injection on her own, she panicked. “I’m not a medical professional; I’ve only given allergy shots to my cats,” she said. Fortunately, Williams found a good instructional video on the Internet and watched it over and over. Ask your doctor to discuss what will happen next: How soon might you or your loved one recover? What should you expect if things are going well? What should you do if things are going poorly? How will you know whether a trip back to the hospital is necessary? If the doctor or a nurse rushes you, don’t be afraid to say, “Please slow down and repeat that” or “Can you be more specific?” or “Can you explain that using simple language?” said Suzanne Mitchell, an assistant professor of family medicine at Boston University’s School of Medicine. Getting ready to leave Being discharged from a hospital can be overwhelming. Make sure you have someone with you to ask questions, take notes and stand up for your interests – especially if you feel unprepared to leave in your current state, said Julie Gray, a care manager with Aging Wisdom in Seattle. This is the time to go over all the medications you’ll be taking at home, if you haven’t done so already. Compile a list of all the over-the-counter medications and prescriptions you’ve been taking. You’ll want to have your physician or a pharmacist go over the entire list to make sure there aren’t duplicates or combinations that might cause dangerous interactions. Some hospitals fill new prescriptions before patients go home; take advantage of this service if you can. Or get a list of nearby pharmacies that can fill medication orders. Find out whether equipment that’s been promised has been delivered. Will there be a hospital bed, a commode or a shower chair at home when you get there? How will you obtain other supplies that might be needed, such as disposable gloves and adult diapers? A useful checklist can be found at Next Step in Care, a program of the United Hospital Fund. Will home-health-care nurses be coming to offer a helping hand? If so, has that been scheduled – and when? How often will the nurses come, and for how long? What, exactly, will they and other caregivers do, and what other assistance will you need to arrange on your own? What will your insurance pay for? Be sure to get contact information (phone numbers, email addresses) for the doctor who took care of you at the hospital, the person who arranged your discharge, a hospital social worker, the medical supply company and the home health-care agency. If something goes wrong, you’ll want to know whom to contact. Don’t leave without securing a copy of your medical records and asking the hospital to send those records to your primary-care doctor. Back at home Seeing your primary-care doctor within two weeks should be a priority. “Even if a patient seems to be doing really well, having their doctor lay eyes on them is really important,” said Kerry Hildreth, an assistant professor of geriatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. When you call for an appointment, make sure you

explain that you’ve just been in the hospital. Adjust your expectations. Up to one-third of people older than 70, and half of those older than 80, leave the hospital with more disabilities than when they arrived. Sometimes, seniors suffer from anxiety and depression after a traumatic illness; sometimes, they’ll experience problems with memory and attention. Returning to normal may take time, or a new normal may need to be established. A physical or occupational therapist can help, but you may have to ask the hospital or a home-health-care agency to arrange these visits. Often, they won’t offer. It took a year for Charnes to stand up and begin walking after her ankle operation, which was followed by two unexpected hospitalizations and stints in rehabilitation. For all the physical difficulties, the anguish of feeling as though she’d never recover her independence was most difficult. “I felt that my life, as I had known it, had ended,” she said, “but gradually I found my way forward.”

PM urged to can NEB process BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The current federal review process of energy projects needs to be shut down and overhauled immediately, say more than 50 environmental and activist groups in a letter sent to the prime minister. No pipeline projects should go forward until Justin Trudeau reforms the National Energy Board (NEB), says the letter, which was also addressed to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr. That means the current review of the Energy East pipeline proposal for Eastern Canada and the NEB’s decision to accept the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline in Alberta and British Columbia need to be annulled, they argue. “If the government wants to restore public confidence in the (review) process and they want a fair, objective and evidence-driven analysis they need to overhaul this thing,” Patrick DeRochie of Environmental Defence, one of the letter’s signatories, said in an interview. The activists say the NEB board members are in a conflict of interest and that First Nations communities are not being properly consulted. Moreover, they argue the review process doesn’t properly explain to citizens how Canada can build pipelines and expand Alberta oilsands production while also respecting the country’s greenhouse emission targets. The groups that signed the letter include Greenpeace and the Sierra Club Canada Foundation. Trudeau campaigned in 2015 on the premise that Canadians had lost confidence in the NEB process after what he claimed were years of Conservative government meddling that made pipeline approvals foregone conclusions. The Liberals put in place interim measures at the NEB — such as increased consultations with aboriginal groups — to give more legitimacy to the Energy East and Trans Mountain reviews while the government reforms the federal body. “It’s inconsistent to say the process is flawed, create interim measures, and then review these pipelines without going through the entire modernization process as they had promised,” DeRochie said. The NEB review of TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline is on hold after protesters forced the cancellation of public consultations in Montreal at the end of August. Protesters demanded that two of the three board members overseeing the proposal resign after it was revealed they had met with former Quebec premier Jean Charest when he was a paid lobbyist for TransCanada (TSX:TRP). Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline was approved by the NEB in

Emergency response plans going public BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The National Energy Board says it plans to require companies to publish their emergency management programs by the end of March next year as part of a push for increased transparency. The regulator said Thursday that it’s accepting public comments until Oct. 11 on the draft board order that would make the public disclosure on company websites a requirement. May and the federal government still has to make a decision on whether to proceed with it. DeRochie acknowledged that several First Nations groups accepted the Kinder Morgan proposal but pointed out that many opposed it.

Nationally regulated pipeline companies are already required to post their emergency procedure manuals online by Sept. 30, but this latest order covers a much broader scope including policies and commitments, hazard identification and incident management systems. In early 2015, Kinder Morgan was criticized for not publicly disclosing its emergency response plan for the $6.8-billion Trans Mountain pipeline, saying it wasn’t required to by the NEB.

The company had cited concerns about security for not publishing its plan, saying that disclosing details like where critical valves and critical access points are could jeopardize the system. The NEB order specifically excludes requiring to disclose personal details, or information where there is a significant risk that it could impair the security of the infrastructure.

While he stopped short of declaring that First Nations communities should have a veto on all energy projects going through their territory, Patrick Bonin of Greenpeace Canada was unequivocal. “We have to respect the right of

refusal on the part of (First Nations) communities,” he said. “If projects go against their interests and opinions we cannot impose them. They have suffered enough from the impacts in Alberta and British Columbia.”

MPs on finance committee set to probe details, effects of changes to CPP

Business

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The federal government’s bid to expand the Canada Pension Plan is being put under the microscope, including an examination of the impact it could have on sluggish economic numbers — or so the opposition hopes. The Commons finance committee is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting Friday to talk about the tentative agreement the federal and provincial governments struck three months ago on changes to the CPP. It remains unclear whether the committee will hear from any witnesses it will be up to the Liberal majority to decide whether to even go ahead with hearings, much less call witnesses. A spokeswoman for Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the minister’s office will follow the committee’s deliberations closely. Annie Donolo said the minister’s is trying to arrange a

time to meet with the committee as soon as the House returns from its summer break later this month. The Tories aren’t willing to wait that long to make the case to Canadians that the changes will hurt businesses and slow wage increases. The changes finance ministers agreed to in principle would increase the benefits Canadians receive in retirement, increase how much income is eligible for CPP coverage, and also increase how much employees and employers pay in premiums to cover the changes. Conservative finance critic Lisa Raitt said small businesses have told her they might delay investments in their companies or freeze wages to pay for the bump in premiums, which would have a negative effect on the government’s goal of creating jobs and economic growth. “You’re going to be diverting investment money out of where it could go and putting it back into payroll taxes,” she said.

“It just seems to be a very convoluted way to try and spur on the economy.” Quebec, which has its own provincial plan, has said it isn’t interested in signing on to the agreement. British Columbia is withholding its signature until the end of ongoing public consultations about the proposal — a signature that could make or break the deal. No changes to the Canada Pension Plan can take place without the agreement of seven out of 10 provinces representing two-thirds of the country’s population. Without B.C. and Quebec agreeing to the changes, the deal would fall apart. As it stands, the process remains on track for the federal Liberals to table legislation this fall to usher in the changes, said Finance spokesman Paul Duchesne. The Conservatives have raised concerns about the deal for months, questioning the government’s rush to sign the pact and calling for consultations like those in B.C.

BRIEFS Pace of housing construction slows in most regions OTTAWA — Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says the pace of housing construction slowed in August, mostly because of a decline in multi-unit projects. The seasonally adjusted rate of housing starts last month was 182,703 units, down six per cent from 194,663 units in July. CMHC says the six-month trend — which smoothes out month-to-month variations — slipped by about three per cent to 195,640 units started in August from 201,379 units started in July. The bulk of the decline was due to a drop in multiple-unit dwellings in urban areas, which fell by 7.3 per cent month-over-month to 111,378 units in August, on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Investors should focus on a diversified portfolio DEREK FUCHS WEALTH WATCH While the kids are heading back to school eager to fill their minds with new knowledge, it’s also a good time for the rest of us to think about education. For investors, whether new or experienced, it may be helpful to learn (or re-learn) some important lessons. Some of the best advice I can offer investors is to focus on a diversified portfolio. While building a port-

folio filled with well-thought out and planned securities may not be an exciting strategy, it is financially prudent and can often stand the test of time. Too often I come across investors who have bet it all in one single stock, or a specialized fund only to wake up to the harsh realities of a rapidly changing market or economy. A proper portfolio should be comprised of multiple securities that focus on various sectors of the economy and be geographically diverse as well. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t own shares in a company, it just means that your overall exposure to that one company should be considered. It doesn’t need to be complicated either, in fact you may be able to buy a handful of mu-

tual funds or exchange traded funds which offer a broadly diversified mix. If you’re not sure, it would be best to meet with a qualified wealth advisor who can help identify possible pitfalls. Along with following a diverse portfolio, investors should gauge their level of risk appropriately. If you have too much risk in your portfolio you may face devastating losses that may never recover. However, if you do not take on enough risk your portfolio can slowly erode away as inflation chips away at the real value of those dollars. Investing doesn’t have to be a scary endeavour. My best suggestion is to learn what risk really means when it comes to investing and be guided accordingly. A sound concept for any investor

is to set up a regular savings plan. A great way to boost your savings is to set up an automatic withdrawal from your bank account immediately after your paycheque is deposited. This way, the money is gone before you really get to see it. While the savings may be small in the beginning it can grow notably in the years ahead. The point is to establish the habit of saving. This strategy works great for parents who are saving for their child’s education, or for new investors who are just getting started. If it’s not something you’re doing already I suggest starting it on your next paycheque. Please see INVESTING on Page D2

The October crude oil contract was up $2.12 at US$47.62 per barrel amid a report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration that said crude oil stockpiles fell by 14.5 million barrels last week — the biggest drop since 1999, according to the agency. The decline came as a surprise because analysts had been expecting an increase. The drawdown was partly blamed on Tropical Storm Hermine, which hit the U.S. Gulf Coast last week, limiting imports in the region. Often, oil prices gain when there are signs of lower supply even though the cause may be temporary, said Jillian Bryan, a portfolio manager and investment adviser at TD Wealth. “From a simplistic perspective, there is a lot of oil in the world out there,” she said. Crude prices have rallied by 10 per cent in the past four sessions, but still remain under the US$50 a barrel range seen in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the strength in energy was not enough to move the S&P/TSX composite index by much, due to weakness in nearly all other sectors. The Toronto stock market added on a mere 6.51 points at 14,803.26. The energy sector led advances, by jumping nearly two per cent, while the gold and materials sectors led decliners on the TSX by pulling back 1.82 per

The higher oil prices also had little impact on the Canadian dollar, which was down 0.17 of a cent at 77.35 cents US. In New York, major indexes were down, with the Dow Jones industrial average dipping 46.23 points at 18,479.91, while the broader S&P 500 fell 4.86 points to 2,181.30. The Nasdaq composite lost 24.45 points at 5,259.48. In economic news, the European Central Bank decided to leave its key interest rates unchanged and surprised the markets by saying that it would not extend the duration of its bond-buying stimulus program. “If they’re announcing they’re not extending their quantitative easing program, obviously they’re seeing a glimmer of hope over there,” said Bryan. At a news conference, ECB President Mario Draghi seemed relatively confident about the economy and less inclined to hint at more stimulus than some analysts had expected.

Business BRIEFS SNC-Lavalin violated federal Elections Act OTTAWA — Montreal-based global engineering giant SNC-Lavalin continues to dig out from a series of corporate governance scandals, this time involving improper donations to federal political parties over a sevenyear period ending in 2011. A compliance agreement with the federal elections commissioner, announced Thursday, details almost $118,000 in donations to the Liberal and Conservative parties through company employees or their spouses who were then reimbursed by SNCLavalin. This illegal practice for skirting corporate donation limits was identified by a Quebec anti-corruption inquiry as a widespread problem in municipal and Quebec provincial politics, although the provincial Charbonneau Commission’s mandate

INVESTING: Control your emotions One of the most important lessons I can share with investors is to keep your emotions out of your decisions. The excitement of seeing your money grow can often lead you to make poor decisions when it’s time to take your profits or rebalance and diversify your portfolio. Likewise, when the markets are falling an emotional reaction may lead you to make a decision you’d regret later. Psychologically speaking, few of us feel the need to run towards a situation where we see danger – in fact,

Quebec taxi lobby furious with Uber deal considering legal action, protests MONTREAL — Quebec’s taxi lobby called the government’s nascent deal with Uber a betrayal and a humiliation, while Premier Philippe Couillard countered Thursday the one-year pilot project doesn’t pose a threat to the traditional cabbie industry. Taxi drivers blocked traffic in Quebec City following Wednesday night’s tentative deal that was reached minutes before the midnight deadline. The taxi lobby’s spokesman Guy Chevrette said citizens should expect more protests “that won’t necessarily make people happy.” He added his organization will soon vote on whether or not to take the government to court over the deal. Chevrette accused the government of betraying taxi drivers by negotiating with a company engaging in civil disobedience, accusing Uber of deliberately breaking the law by operating outside the government-controlled industry. Many details of the agreement were not made public. we typically would run the other way. Investment can often be the opposite. If the markets are falling and we sense “danger”, it’s often the best time to buy, rather than run away. A good wealth advisor will help you make these decisions and keep your emotions on the sidelines. Finally, I suggest that you make your investments boring and make your life exciting. While saving for your future can be a rewarding experience it doesn’t have to consume your life. Don’t feel the need to check your portfolio daily, have a wealth advisor as a sounding board, and focus on your long-term picture instead of the shortterm fluctuation. After all, investing is a marathon and not a sprint. Happy investing, Wealth Watch is written by Derek Fuchs, a wealth advisor with ScotiaMcLeod in Red Deer.

BECHTHOLD Jane Jane Elizabeth Bechthold (Gowsell) passed away in Red Deer on September 2, 2016 at the age of 57. Jane was born in Calgary, “middle” child of Robert and Elizabeth Gowsell. She attended school in Calgary and enjoyed the summer months spent with older brother Paul and little sister Jill at the family’s cottage at the Summer Village of Ghost Lake. As a child, wife and mother she was fortunate to be able to enjoy the cottage for almost 50 years. Jane married Vaughan Bechthold of Calgary on September 20, 1980, at a small country church. Eager to start their own life journey, Jane and Vaughan moved to Red Deer in the Summer of 1981. Jane had a strong maternal instinct and after working in Red Deer for a few years, she decided it was time to start a family. Daughter Kate and sons Ben and Neil all came along within a span of 4 years. It was Jane’s desire to have her children quickly so they could be close during their adult years, which has worked out well. Jane had a natural ability as a mom and was very devoted to her kids. She was always very proud of her children and they have turned out to be very deserving of their mother’s love. During the course of living in Red Deer and raising their children, Jane and Vaughan were able to forge long lasting relationships with many good people in Red Deer and elsewhere. Jane cherished them all. Once the child rearing years started to wind down, Jane decided to turn to her own personal development. Jane always enjoyed being very “hands on” when it came to her kids’ education and school activities. Normandeau School was often a topic of discussion in the Bechthold home while the children were students there. For Jane, it seemed a natural fit to pursue a career in education, which she did with determination and passion. Her hard work paid off and earned her a Bachelor of Education Degree from the University of Alberta in 2004. At the same time she also earned a Diploma from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Calgary in the area of Music. Jane worked at schools in Blackfalds and Sylvan Lake prior to securing a position with the Red Deer Public School District. Jane thoroughly enjoyed the various positions she held within the Red Deer School District. Her last position was at Normandeau School, so it could be said that over the course of 15 or so years she had come “full circle”, starting as a young mom at Normandeau School and finishing her career there as a well respected teacher. In the last weeks of Jane’s life she wanted nothing more than to be at her daughter Kate’s wedding. The family is so thankful that Jane was able to be there. The family would like to thank all the medical professionals, technicians and support staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary, who have advocated for Jane for so long. In addition, thank you is in order to the Red Deer Homecare Network and in particular to Ms.Terry Mousseau, RN for the guidance and compassion during Jane’s last days. Jane’s memory will be cherished by her husband Vaughan; daughter Kate Epp (Andrew) of Aire Ronge, SK; sons Ben and Neil of Red Deer; father Robert Gowsell and his special friend Betty Stenerson of Calgary; brother Paul Gowsell (Kathi), nephew Sam Gowsell, niece Sophie Gowsell of Calgary; sister Jill Vargo (Fred), nephews Will Vargo, Ellis Vargo and Tom Vargo of Calgary. She was predeceased by her mother Elizabeth Gowsell. A celebration of Jane’s life will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at the Knox Presbyterian Church, 4718 Ross Street, Red Deer, at 1:00 pm with Minister Wayne Reid officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer that those who would like to, make a charitable donation to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary.

ADVICE FRIDAY, SEPT. 9, 2016

Mother-in-law not acknowledging stepson ANNIE LANE Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for eight years, and we have one child together. I also have a nine-year-old from a previous relationship. My husband is the only father my nine-year-old has ever known. He calls him Daddy. The problem is my mother-in-law. She has stated that she has “no ties” to my son. She will not invite him over or do things with him the way she does with my younger child (her biological grandson). She doesn’t ask questions about him as she does with my younger child, and recently she didn’t even bother to call and tell him happy birthday. She posted “Happy Birthday” on Facebook, but that was it. Her current husband also has a grandson, and

Toddler bitten more than a dozen times at Florida daycare Amanda Beebe rushed to the day care centre where she left her 18-month-old and became hysterical. Her boy’s body was covered with more than a dozen bite marks. His face, limbs and back were swollen and raw. Who bit her boy? Where were the adults? How could this happen at a day care? “It looked like he’d been mauled by an animal,” Beebe told The Associated Press on Wednesday. But the doctor at the hospital told Beebe that by the look of the marks, her son had been bitten by another child. Now, the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and child welfare authorities are investigating the J’s Bright Learners centre in Bradenton, and an employee there could face charges of child neglect. A woman who answered the phone at the daycare Wednesday said no one there could comment. Beebe said she had recently put her two children, the 18-month-old and his 4-year-old brother, into the daycare so she could continue her education in al-

JOANNE MADELINE MOORE HOROSCOPE Friday, Sept. 9 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Michael Buble, 41; Hugh Grant, 56; Michelle Williams, 35 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Lucky Jupiter moves into Libra which favours love and partnerships. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You enjoy nothing better than a juicy challenge, but remember that you are lovable for who you are, not what you do. There is a difference. ARIES (March 21-April 19): With Jupiter jumping into your partnership zone, aim to be more compassionate and generous towards loved ones. Plus try to view a troubled relationship from a more philosophical perspective. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Jupiter jumps into your well being zone, which is good news for your physical health and emotional well being over the next 13 months. There’s one proviso though — you must be disciplined. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Over the next 13 months, many gung-ho Geminis will take up a sport or hobby, start a hot romance, go on holiday, or welcome a new addition to the family. Creative projects are also favoured. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Jupiter is set to expand your domestic horizons. So, over the next 13 months, you could buy or sell real estate, move house, get a new housemate, or renovate so you have more living space. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your social media profile really takes off over the next 13 months — and one of your posts could even go viral — as Jupiter blesses communication. So make sure you have plenty of topical things to say. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you been worrying about money matters? Jupiter is transiting through

hard and I’ve been a great mom. I graduated high school, and I started college when my son was only 20 days old and worked full-time, as well. I met my husband when I was 19, and we have been together ever since. I am currently working full-time and going to school part-time. I have come to believe I will never be good enough in her eyes. I’m working on accepting that, but it’s hard. My husband says he has talked to her several times, but there has been no change in her behaviour. I’ve told her how I feel, and she said that she is always going to show favoritism. What do I do from here? Let it go? Stay away? Kill her with kindness? — Trying Not to Be Bitter Dear Trying: Have you ever seen your mother-in-law in rain? Because she sounds like the Wicked Witch. Exclusion of any kind or purposeful cruelty is never OK, in my book. Good for you for not resigning yourself to anger and bitterness. That takes a lot of strength. It sounds as if you’ve tried to be patient and made a real ef-

Scientists in the UK discuss sex robots, digital intimacy

fort to have a better relationship with your mother-in-law. She is, after all, your husband’s mom. Unfortunately, she’s made no effort to have a better relationship with you. Clearly, your husband’s talks with her have had no effect. Actions speak louder than words, and it may be time to pump up the volume. Grandma shouldn’t be allowed to see your younger son until she starts treating your nine-year-old with love and respect. She can’t have this sort of a la carte relationship with your family — showing affection to your husband and her biological grandson and none to you and your elder son. You’re a package deal. If she can’t handle that, she can get onto her broomstick and out of your lives. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Kathleen Richardson from Britain’s De Monfort University, who heads a campaign against sex robots, told Sky News that using sex robots would “increase human isolation” as people try to meet their “complex needs” with inanimate objects.

Obama to speak at opening of African-American Museum

LONDON — Sex robots — discuss. That is precisely what scientists and academics are doing at a British conference also covering all-too-modern issues like digital intimacy and older Facebook users. The Human Choice & Computers conference in Manchester starting Wednesday is focusing on the “constantly evolving intimate relationships” between humans and technology. University of Oslo Professor Charles Ess says social robots, such as mechanical dolls, “may well be able to offer good sex on demand.” But adds that human virtues need to be cultivated “to avoid becoming identical with the machines that serve us.”

WASHINGTON — The Smithsonian Institution says President Barack Obama will speak at the opening ceremony of the National Museum of African American History and Culture this month. First Lady Michelle Obama, former president George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will be attending the Sept. 24 ceremony. Civil rights icon John Lewis, now a Georgia congressman, will also be there. Jazz musician Wynton Marsalis will perform a special composition he created for the event at the new museum on the National Mall in Washington. The Smithsonian says the event will also include readings of African-American literature.

DEAR ANNIE

she will have him come stay with them anytime. My son doesn’t seem to be too bothered by the way she treats him. (He has autism but is higher-functioning.) But a few months ago, my younger son spent some time with my mother-inlaw, and a few days later, I overheard him talking to my elder son. He said, “You should have gone shopping with me and Mimi, but she doesn’t want you there.” That broke my heart. I’ve let my younger son have a relationship with her. I do it more for him than for her. I don’t want him to be resentful that he never got to spend time with his grandmother, but at the same time, I feel that it’s hurting my other child, even though he doesn’t verbally express it. I know that my mother-in-law is not supportive of her son’s being married to me. She has never liked me from day one. She even had the nerve to once tell my own mother that I am nothing but trailer trash. Of course, that’s far from the truth. I did have a child when I was 18, but I’ve worked
