Seasoned carny Dennis M. shows Kristian Ludlow, 7, his mark at the Midway Boulevard on Thursday. Dennis has been in the carnival business for about 40 years.

Come on in, it’s your turn to win. Want to shoot a gun today? Seasoned carny Dennis M. WOOD CHARGES calls from his Shoot the Stars INTO FIRST IN booth on Midway Boulevard at PONY CHUCKS B1 Westerner Days. It’s early Thursday afternoon in Red Deer and people are beginning to trickle into the fairgrounds. Early morning and afternoons tend to be quiet on weekdays with the rush usually coming in spurts. Today Dennis is hoping to catch the attention of young families and teenagers who want to shoot a toy rifle at a star for a chance to win a large oversized stuffed animal. “Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a kid walk away with a smile on their face and a teddy bear as big as them tucked under their arms,” said Dennis, who is originally from Wetaskiwin. He asked that his last name not be used for personal reasons. Dennis has seen his share of faces throughout North America over the last four decades. He travels about six months a year with the North American Midway starting each May.

CP Rail, CN reviewing safety procedures after disaster BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que., has prompted Canada’s two largest railways to review their own safety procedures. Nearly two weeks ago, an unmanned train belonging to the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic railway carrying 72 cars of oil crashed into the town, setting off explosions that are believed to have killed up to 50 people. Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) said Thursday it’s strengthening some of its safety procedures following a review. “The recent situation gave us a chance to thoroughly review our safety procedures, as we do on an ongoing basis,” said Ed Greenberg, a spokesman for Canada’s second-largest railway. “The result is that we have now strengthened our operating procedures in some key areas that were identified from what recently occurred.” An internal staff memo from last week, obtained by the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star newspapers, said the changes were in anticipation of new Transport Canada rules. For instance, Greenberg said if trains must be left unattended outside a terminal or yard, the locomotive will be locked. In the past, that was only the case in some “high risk” locations. Brake-setting procedures — which Greenberg says already meet or exceed regulations — will also be strengthened. And trains carrying dangerous material will not be left unattended on main line tracks.

Redford ‘disgusted’ by MLA’s arrest BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

“Our railway continually reviews practices and procedures to identify ways to further strengthen operating safety,” he said. “For CP, we felt implementing additional safety measures at this time was the prudent step to take.” A spokesman for Montreal-based Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) says the railroad is also reviewing its safety procedures in light of Lac-Megantic. Mark Hallman said Canadian National — Canada’s biggest railroad — already has “robust” policies in place to make sure its unattended trains are secure by relying on “multiple safety defences.” For instance, air brakes are applied on both locomotives and throughout the train and the hand brake is applied to the lead locomotive, Hallman said. All locomotives are also secured to prevent movement. The reverser — like a gear shift in a car — is removed from the control stand, so that a train cannot move forward or backward. All doors and windows are locked on locomotives, and two crew members continually communicate with one another to make sure everything is being done right. CN locomotives also have a device that prompts a full-service brake application if it detects movement or no response from the control stand — something Greenberg said CP also uses. Both CN and CP use two-person crews, whereas only one MM&A engineer was working when the LacMegantic disaster struck.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she is “disgusted” by the arrest of one of her caucus colleagues in a prostitution sting while on government business in the United States. Redford says Mike Allen’s conduct was “more than inappropriate” when he was attending a legislative conference in St. Paul, Minn. Allen was arrested Monday night by police and faces a possible charge of soliciting a prostitute. “You’ll know that in Alberta when I was justice minister, we started doing work with respect to the sexual exploitation of women and human trafficking. This is an issue that is very close to my heart,” Redford told reporters Thursday morning at her annual K-Days breakfast in Edmonton. “I was shocked and disappointed to see the conduct. It’s not at all the standard of conduct I would expect from anyone in our caucus.” Allen has resigned from the governing Progressive Conservative caucus, but he remains as an Independent MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo. Redford says it’s up to people in Allen’s riding to decide whether he should continue to represent them. “He’s an elected member of caucus. He’s an elected person from Fort McMurray. I understand he has said that he will go back to his community, his constituents, to have that discussion. That is appropriate at this time,” Redford said.

CHILI COOK-OFF

BRIEF Psychologist says man’s anxiety around women led him to murder teen SURREY, B.C. — A young man’s belief that he could cure his paralyzing anxiety around women by having sex drove him to fatally attack a 15-year-old girl in a Delta, B.C. park, a forensic psychologist says. Robert Ley told a sentencing hearing that he believes the offender is a motivated and intelligent person who would be receptive to treatment and should be detained in a provincial institution rather than in a federal prison, where rehabilitation programs would be less effective. The man can’t be named because he was 17 when he attacked Laura Szendrei in September 2010, hitting her repeatedly over the head with a pipe in an attempt to subdue and rape her while she was walking to meet friends in broad daylight. “There’s no doubt whatsoever federal prisons are a dangerous, violent, risky place,” Ley said Thursday. “Almost certainly in a federal prison system, (he) would need to adopt very tough, aggressive, and perhaps a violent stance towards other inmates in order to protect himself.” Ley said the man, who is now 21 and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder last year, would get faster access to treatment programs at a provincial institution for sex offenders in Chilliwack, B.C. He also argued the bullying and aggression that typically occurs in prisons would not be conducive to teaching the offender how to live effectively in the community after he’s been released. The man was so painfully self-conscious when he attacked Szendrei that he was incapable of interacting with young women, Ley said. “He had never kissed a girl in his adolescence, he had never held a girl’s hand, he had never dated,” Ley said. “He could not talk to an adolescent girl even when they spoke to him first. He was absolutely paralyzed by his anxiety and fear around women.”

During the breakfast, Redford stood on a stage flanked by caucus members who also helped flip and serve pancakes. Allen was nowhere to be seen. The 51-year-old flew to Edmonton from St. Paul on Tuesday night. Officers there had posted a fake ad on an online site for escorts and massage services called backpage.com. Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Paulos said Allen responded to the ad over the Internet and information was exchanged through cellphone texts about when and where he would meet two female undercover officers. Allen met the pair and agreed to pay about $200 for a threesome, Paulos said. A team of officers then quickly placed him under arrest. Redford said she demanded that Allen reimburse the government for all the expenses he incurred on the trip and she said it is her understanding that he has done so.

A little over a week before Lac-Megantic, the safety of transporting dangerous goods by rail was brought to light in a separate incident. Severe flooding in Calgary caused a Canadian Pacific-owned rail bridge to give way while a train carrying petroleum distillate was crossing it in the middle of the night. Crews managed to secure the cars so that they didn’t get swept away in the Bow River. They then drained the fluid and removed the cars from the broken bridge. Though the incident was resolved without injuries or environmental damage, the close call caused Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi to criticize Canadian Pacific. In particular, Nenshi questioned whether recent layoffs at the railway under the leadership of new CEO Hunter Harrison could have contributed to the crisis.

Opposition parties were swift to condemn Allen after the news broke of his arrest late Tuesday. The official Opposition Wildrose party called for his resignation. Redford, however, made no official comment until Thursday, and she defended her decision to stay away from reporters’ microphones. “Opposition parties can have their say, or they can do what we did, which is to actually take action. This man has been expelled from caucus, we have insisted that he repay the expenses. We’ve made it very clear with respect to our position on this and my position on this,” Redford said. “Quite frankly, this is not a race to the bottom to see who can get to your deadlines first,” she told reporters. “It’s about dealing with the circumstances and making sure that we’re taking the time to understand exactly what is going on.” It is expected that Allen will find out by the end of the week whether he will have to return south of the border to face a charge of soliciting prostitutes. After he was released Tuesday, he phoned in his resignation from caucus and issued an apology for “an embarrassing moment” and “lapse of personal judgment.”

Government failed to act on flood threat OPPOSITION OFFERS ITS OWN SOLUTIONS TO COMPENSATE VICTIMS, REDUCE DAMAGE IN THE FUTURE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Alberta’s Opposition leader has rebuked the governing Tories for their “failure” to prevent widespread damage in recent flooding while offering her party’s own remedies to reduce risks. Danielle Smith’s Wildrose party is making 22 recommendations to compensate current victims and to reduce damage in the future. One suggestion would allow the vast majority of residents and businesses affected by last month’s flooding to stay and rebuild. Smith said the government could have prevented much of the damage wrought by high water in affected communities, but failed to act. “The failure of the provincial government to heed repeated warnings and properly prepare for severe flooding has resulted in far more damage and hardship than was necessary,” she said Thursday at a news conference in a Calgary neighbourhood. A Tory cabinet minister said officials who have been working on a flood mitigation plan in High River told him “there is nothing that they could have done that would have prevented the damage.” Rick Fraser, associate minister of recovery and reconstruction of High River, acknowledged that work is ongoing to uncover what caused the major

deluge that left many people homeless in last month’s flood. “I think it’s pointless at this point, particularly when we’re trying to help people, to be laying blame,” he said. “There will be lots of time for that further down the road when we understand everything.” At the same time that the Wildrose released its recommendations for flood control, the government outlined its plan to support rebuilding efforts. It is leaving it up to municipal governments and First Nations to continue leading recovery efforts, while the province oversees and organizes the work. Regional co-ordinators in each of the affected communities are to address four key recovery aspects. The goals include supporting flood victims, nurturing economic growth, restoring infrastructure and re-establishing and protecting the environment. The recovery framework is intended as a guide for intermediate and longterm efforts. Smith said the province should have acted sooner. She said the Progressive Conservatives didn’t implement much of a 2006 flood report, which recommended that the government designate flood-prone areas and notify property buyers about the risks. She also said the government allowed extensive development in known floodplains without reducing the risks. Fraser disputed Smith’s claims, say-

ing the provincial government has implemented many of the report’s recommendations and will continue to make improvements. “We’re willing to listen to anybody who has suggestions,” he said. “The one thing that I would say that’s maybe a little bit disappointing — High River and many of these places are still under local states of emergency and we’re already talking about a report when there is still work on the ground that needs to be done.” Smith also said a top priority to minimize future damage should be an independent engineering study that would identify where ditches, culverts, berms and spillways could be used to guide high waters to areas where they would do the least damage. Such measures could reduce the number of people who would have to relocate to safer areas now, the Opposition leader suggested. The government has already said it will introduce legislation this fall that would ban new development in floodplains. It has said it will provide assistance this time to those who choose to rebuild in the riskiest areas, but will not provide any compensation for future flood damage in those zones. It would continue to provide relief to residents and businesses in the socalled flood fringe, where the risks are lower, but only if municipalities took steps to mitigate risks.

Smith said the onus should be on the provincial government to mitigate the risks. “We think it’s premature to be asking homeowners to move and relocate out of areas before the government does its basic job,” she said. “(Building) flood mitigation infrastructure is a basic job of government. It’s something they should have done years ago, decades ago, and they failed to do it.” Another big difference between the two plans is that the Wildrose party would not provide any assistance to homeowners who want to rebuild now in the most high-risk areas, but would extend relief to those who want to relocate. “It is very difficult to justify government paying for the rebuilding of homes and businesses in dangerous locations that cannot be protected with improved flood mitigation infrastructure,” said Wildrose house leader Rob Anderson. The Opposition also said it would cap the amount of funding it would provide to residents and business owners rebuilding after a flood. Anderson would not disclose a dollar figure, but said the compensation program would pay for the reconstruction of an average-priced home. Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths’ office did not respond to requests for comment.

Gore website owner granted bail Constable faces charges after teen’s POSTED VIDEO AT THE CENTRE OF THE LUKA MAGNOTTA MURDER CASE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The owner of a website that posted a grisly video at the centre of the Luka Magnotta murder case has been granted bail but won’t be allowed to use the Internet. A judge ordered that Mark Marek, who operates bestgore.com, be released from the Edmonton Remand Centre on Thursday on $7,500 cash bail. Police charged Marek on Tuesday with one count of corrupting morals, a rarely used offence in the Criminal Code. Marek, 38, appeared in court on a closed-circuit TV screen and tried to talk about his website. Provincial court Judge Elizabeth Johnson cut him off, explaining that she only wanted to hear information about whether he is a flight risk. A limited publication ban was issued covering details about the video, entitled “1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick.” It was posted on the website a year ago and allegedly shows the killing and dismemberment of Chinese university student Jun Lin in Montreal. Parts of Lin’s body were mailed across Canada in a crime that made headlines around the world. Magnotta, a former porn actor and stripper, was the focus of an international manhunt and was arrested in June 2012 in Berlin. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and is to stand trial in September 2014. Police allege that Magnotta sent Marek the video and Marek posted it online while knowing that it depicted a real killing. Officers said they started investigating Marek after the video was posted but had no evidence to warrant an arrest. He flew to Hong Kong in February. When he arrived from the Philippines at the Vancouver airport last week, border officials seized computer equipment he was carrying. He was allowed to continue his flight to Edmonton and then agreed to be interviewed by police.

Crown prosecutor Julie Roy opposed Marek’s bail. She said he has no Edmonton address and he had made it clear to police that he planned to go back to his native Slovakia. Police have said he has been living out of his car since he returned to the city. Marek, a pale man with a shaved head, told the judge that officers have already seized his Canadian passport and he is no longer considered a citizen of Slovakia. “I only have one passport,” he said with a thick accent. Defence counsel Guy Doyon said Marek had earlier planned to visit family in Slovakia in September but doesn’t intend to run away from his legal problems. “This is not someone who has flight on his mind. He wants to vigorously defend his actions here.” Roy also told court that Marek went to a bank after his interview with police. A short time later, he was arrested carrying $18,000 cash. Doyon said Marek posted the video with a disclaimer: “Is this real? It seems fake.” “He posted it in the public interest to determine if an offence had been committed here,” Doyon told the judge. Doyon said, and police agree, that Marek took the video off the site after about eight days. The defence argued that the website is Marek’s only source of income — “his livelihood.” But the judge agreed with the Crown that he should no longer be allowed to operate it. As part of his bail conditions, the judge ruled Marek may not use the Internet, attend an Internet cafe or have a cellphone or any electronic device that can send or receive messages and gain access to the web. Doyon told court that keeping Marek off the Internet won’t clean up cyberspace. “It’s the Internet. You can find anything you want on the Internet. With Mr. Marek not being there, that’s not going to stop.”

teeth chipped during arrest BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LETHBRIDGE — A police constable in southern Alberta has been charged after a teenage boy suffered chipped teeth as he was being put in the back of a cruiser. Lethbridge police say the officer had been investigating a hit-and-run complaint in December and began speaking with the 16-year-old youth. The officer believed the teen had been drinking and arrested him for public intoxication, but they say there was a struggle. Const. Norman Smith, 33, is charged with assault causing bodily harm and

unlawful confinement and is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 9. Smith, a four-year veteran, has been relieved from duty with pay pending the outcome of the case. Lethbridge police say the investigation was completed by their professional standards unit and was forwarded to the Crown for review before the charges were laid. Police Chief Tom McKenzie says he trusts all of his officers to act professionally. Smith was seriously injured in February 2011 when he tried to arrest two men on Lethbridge’s south side. He had to be taken to a Calgary hospital.

Ending world poverty DOUBLING THE INCOME LEVEL OF 5.64 BILLION PEOPLE WOULD COST THE WORLD’S WEALTHIEST ONLY 0.5% OF THEIR WEALTH BY MARK ANIELSKI SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE What would it cost to eliminate poverty and ensure that each person on the planet enjoyed a living wage — enough income to meet their basic needs for a descent and good life? First, the world’s leaders, along with the world’s billionaires, would have to issue a joint declaration that all people on the planet are deserving of a sufficient living wage that would meet their basic needs for a good life. What is a living wage? A living wage is the income required to meet the basic needs for a reasonable good life

of clean water, good air, good food, comfortable shelter, clothing and some healthy degree of autonomy. The Catholic 13th century theologian Thomas Aquinas (building on the ideas of Aristotle) said what is required of a good life is sufficiency of material needs (and hence sufficiency of income to finance those needs) and virtuous action. Based on Plato and Aquinas, the key virtues to act upon are moderation, courage, justice and wisdom. Here are the facts: The current estimated global poverty line is $1.45 per day or $530 per year. Two dollars and 50 cents per day ($912 per year) is the estimated poverty level in developing countries. In 2005, according to poverty facts, roughly 50 per cent of the world’s people (over 3.2 billion) live on that amount per day while 80 per cent (5.15 billion) live on $10 per day or less. The poorest 40 per cent of the world’s population accounts for five per cent of global income. The richest

20 per cent accounts for three-quarters of world income. In 2005, the wealthiest 20 per cent of the world accounted for 76.6 per cent of total private consumption. The poorest fifth just 1.5 per cent. The poorest 10 per cent accounted for just 0.5 per cent of all consumption while the wealthiest 10 per cent accounted for 59 per cent of all the consumption. About 0.13 per cent of the world’s population controlled 25 per cent of the world’s financial assets in 2004. The total wealth of the top 8.3 million people around the world “rose 8.2 per cent to $30.8 trillion in 2004, giving them control of nearly a quarter of the world’s financial assets.” The world’s gross domestic product in 2006 was $48.2 trillion in 2006. The world’s wealthiest countries (approximately one billion people) accounted for $36.6 trillion (76 per cent). Low income countries (2.4 billion people) accounted for just $1.6 trillion of GDP (3.3 per cent).

Middle income countries (three billion people) made up the rest of GDP at just over $10 trillion (20.7 per cent). How much would this cost to eliminate poverty around the world (with 7.074 billion people and assuming the same distribution of poverty)? To double the income level of roughly 5.64 billion to $10 per day would cost $29.39 billion per year. (I have not included people in the developed countries who may not be earning $10 per day). That $29.39 billion is equivalent of 0.5 per cent of the total estimated wealth of the world’s billionaires (according to Forbes latest wealth estimates).

LETTER TO EDITOR

New lights by hospital are costly and inefficient On behalf of hospital employees and visitors, I would like to ask why traffic lights were put in at 52nd Avenue and 43rd Street in Red Deer? Traffic used to run smoothly, with everyone taking their turns when each came up to the intersection. Now, there are four or five vehicles lined up at red lights with no one at the other three roadways. One first driver was going straight and stopped at a red light with three vehicles behind him that were turning — and then there was me. We all had to stop and wait for the light to turn green. There were no other cars at the other three roadways. So I ask these questions: ● Who authorized these traffic lights? ● Did the person who authorized these traffic lights realize that there were traffic lights only one block to the west and one block to the east? ● Who paid for these traffic lights? ● What was the cost of installing and running these traffic lights? Traffic is now backed up in each of the directions at different times of the day, where it used to flow smoothly. Could the city please reply to this letter to the editor in an article or editorial so that all of the people in Red Deer know the answers to the above questions. Sandra Ladwig Hospital staff member Red Deer

In a natural disaster, seniors are at heightened risk TEN THINGS SENIORS, AND THE AGENCIES THAT SERVE THEM, CAN DO TO PREPARE FOR AN EMERGENCY BY ARLENE ADAMSON SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE The recent floods in Calgary caught people by surprise. The water came quickly and although many Calgarians were on alert to leave, when the evacuation order was finally issued, speed was of the essence. One of the 26 Calgary communities that had to be evacuated was Bridgeland, near the Bow River. For more than 50 years, the area has been home to lowerincome Calgary seniors in affordable housing provided by Silvera for Seniors. When the evacuation order was issued for Bridgeland, it meant that almost 600 seniors needed to leave the area in a hurry. It’s important to remember that some segments of the population — children, disabled people and seniors — are at heightened risk during emergencies. Indeed, the only tragic death from the floods in Calgary was a senior, 83-year-old Lorraine Gerlitz. Another, in High River, was a female lawyer with cerebral palsy, Jacqui Brocklebank. The seniors at Silvera in Bridgeland were very lucky — the flood water did not reach our communities, and there was only ground water backup. But they were still evacuated from the facilities, their homes, and lost core services for several days. Here are some of the lessons we learned from this crisis, and a list of what seniors who live independently or in supported residences — and the families and agencies who support them — can do to better

CENTRAL ALBERTA’S DAILY NEWSPAPER Published at 2950 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4R 1M9 by The Red Deer Advocate Ltd. Canadian Publications Agreement #336602 Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation Fred Gorman Publisher John Stewart Managing editor Richard Smalley Advertising director

prepare for an emergency or disaster: Seniors and families: ● Keep a record of medical conditions, allergies and current medications with you at all times, if possible. Note the name and contact numbers for your usual pharmacy and doctors in case you need to renew a prescription in a hurry. ● Keep all of your current medications and an overnight toiletries bag together for ease of collection and quick transport. Same goes for any essential medical equipment. ● Make a plan of action, and discuss it with your emergency contacts, for what to do in case of an urgent situation; include backup plans, such as determining a safe place to meet up should you be separated or out of communication. Keep an address book with your emergency contacts handy. ● Make sure your home or residence has an emergency kit that contains 72 hours’ worth of non-perishable food, water, can opener, flashlight and backup batteries, hearing aids and batteries, incontinence products, battery-powered radio, copies of important documents and a first aid kit. ● Consult Canada’s Public Health Agency which lists a number of helpful resources on emergency preparedness: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/seniorsaines/ep-mu-eng.php and http://www.getprepared. gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs/pblctns/yprprdnssgd/index-eng.aspx Seniors organizations: ● Reach out to new and existing partners and ask for help in case of an evacuation. Ensure that you look for appropriate alternate accommodation that

can address seniors’ specific needs if they are frail and need extra supports, as evacuation centres are not often appropriate for longer-term stays. ● Keep an up-to-date contact list of service partners in a readily available, central and virtual location. ● Practise, practise, practise — it is far easier to evacuate during an emergency if evacuation drills are part of your regular planning and operations. ● Ensure that staff contact information is upto-date and easily accessible to those who need it. A centralized and web-based timetable and staff schedule is an excellent idea to keep everyone synchronized and in the right place at the right time. Use new social media technologies (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to help keep everyone updated. ● Ensure residents’ emergency contact information is updated regularly, as details can change often. We also learned throughout this crisis that although many of our seniors are in poorer health and need extra supports, the majority faced this crisis with resilience and grit. When faced with monumental challenges, they just pushed through it. Seniors are not done living yet, and they have a wealth of experience to share with us all.

Redford ‘disgusted’ by MLA’s arrest

E L A S

CALGARY — The disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que., has prompted Canada’s two largest railways to review their own safety procedures. Nearly two weeks ago, an unmanned train belonging to the Montreal, Maine & Atlantic railway carrying 72 cars of oil crashed into the town, setting off explosions that are believed to have killed up to 50 people. Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) said Thursday it’s strengthening some of its safety procedures following a review. “The recent situation gave us a chance to thoroughly review our safety procedures, as we do on an ongoing basis,” said Ed Greenberg, a spokesman for Canada’s second-largest railway. “The result is that we have now strengthened our operating procedures in some key areas that were identified from what recently occurred.” An internal staff memo from last week, obtained by the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star newspapers, said the changes were in anticipation of new Transport Canada rules. For instance, Greenberg said if trains must be left unattended outside a terminal or yard, the locomotive will be locked. In the past, that was only the case in some “high risk” locations. Brake-setting procedures — which Greenberg says already meet or exceed regulations — will also be strengthened. And trains carrying dangerous material will not be left unattended on main line tracks.

Come on in, it’s your turn to win. Want to shoot a gun today? Seasoned carny Dennis M. Wood charges calls from his Shoot the Stars into first in booth on Midway Boulevard at pony chucks B1 Westerner Days. It’s early Thursday afternoon in Red Deer and people are beginning to trickle into the fairgrounds. Early morning and afternoons tend to be quiet on weekdays with the rush usually coming in spurts. Today Dennis is hoping to catch the attention of young families and teenagers who want to shoot a toy rifle at a star for a chance to win a large oversized stuffed animal. “Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a kid walk away with a smile on their face and a teddy bear as big as them tucked under their arms,” said Dennis, who is originally from Wetaskiwin. He asked that his last name not be used for personal reasons. Dennis has seen his share of faces throughout North America over the last four decades. He travels about six months a year with the North American Midway starting each May.

Wood charges into first BY ADVOCATE STAFF

AVALANCHE SHORE UP DUCHESNE The Colorado Avalanche shored up centre ice by signing Matt Duchesne to a five-year contract extension. Duchesne, 22, has 82 goals and 111 assists in 266 games with the Avalanche. Colorado selected centre Nathan MacKinnon with the first pick in last month’s draft and also has Paul Stastny signed for one more season with a cap hit of US$6.6 million. Ryan O’Reilly is expected to move to wing given the Avalanche’s depth down the middle. That depth could last a while with Duchesne signed through 201819. “Matt already is and will be a big part of our team’s nucleus for the long term,” Avalanche executive vicepresident of hockey operations Joe Sakic said in a statement. “We all felt that it was important for us to secure his rights for several seasons. With his great skills, speed and character, he represents the identity we want the Avalanche to be.”

Keith Wood came into the Red Deer Motors North American pony chuckwagon championships with a goal in sight. Wood entered the 2013 event at the Westerner Days with seven North American titles under his belt and tied for first overall with Jim Pollitt. The Saddle Lake cowboy charged into first place overall after the second day of the fiveday championship thanks to a slight miscue by his son Curtis. Curtis recorded the fastest time of the day on the C4Ever Consulting wagon of Red Deer with a running time of one minute 16.49 seconds, but was given a ahead of the barrel two second penalty, which moved him down into fourth place overall at 2:36.21. Meanwhile his father Keith didn’t have the same barrel turn as Curtis, but a spectacular home stretch charge moved him into second in the final heat of the evening on his Uncle Ben’s RV rig with a time of 1:16.90 and first overall at 2:34.92. Curtis Hogg, who is second on the tour standings, had the best time in the heat and best overall at 1:16.71 and sits third at 2:36.07 with his Kellough Enterprises outfit of Red Deer. Defending champion Gary Thiel and the Pumps and Pressure rig of Red Deer, came in with a 1:17.19 clocking and is second overall at 2:35.74. Rene Salmond, who now calls Houston, Tex., home, sits in fifth place overall at 2:37.05 following a time of 1:18.34 while the Wei’s Westerner Wear wagon of Red Deer, driven by Louis Johner had a clocking of 1:18.13 and is in sixth at 2:37.38.

ZACH JOHNSON HAS EARLY LEAD AFTER DIFFICULT DAY AT MUIRFIELD BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GULLANE — A blue sky and a gentle breeze usually means ripe scoring conditions at the British Open. Just not on the brown links of Muirfield. Zach Johnson handled it better than anyone Thursday. Helped along by a 45-foot eagle putt and only one bogey despite trouble lurking around every pot bunker, Johnson had a 5-under 66 for a one-shot lead, the first time he’s been atop the leaderboard at any major since he rallied to win the Masters six years ago. Tiger Woods more than survived the late end of the draw, after the sun had thoroughly baked out the crispy greens and allowed only eight of the 20 rounds under par. He knocked one putt clear off the green, but 10 one-putts — most of them for pars — carried him to a 69, a good start in his bid to end his five-year drought in the majors.

“The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played,” Woods said. “And I’m very pleased to shoot anything even par or better.” And for all the talk about Muirfield’s men-only membership, at least the club doesn’t discriminate against age. Mark O’Meara, the 56-year-old who won his claret jug in 1998 at Royal Birkdale, shot a 67 and nearly tied Johnson for the lead until his 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th took a hard spin out of the cup. Another former champion, 54-year-old Tom Lehman, opened with a 68. It was an eclectic group who broke par, from major champions to players making their British Open debut. What they all had in common was finding a way to get through a firm, fast and frightening test at Muirfield that figures to get even harder if the Royal & Ancient doesn’t put some water on the links course. Phil Mickelson opened with a 69 and felt

like he got off easy by playing in the morning. Mickelson was concerned about some hole locations being too close to the edge of slopes, and he pleaded with the R&A to let go of its ego and “just set the course up the way the best players can win.” Some of the best did just fine. “Anytime you shoot under par in an Open — or a major, for that matter — you have to be putting at least somewhat decent,” Johnson said. “And I putted great. I made some nice birdie putts and obviously that one for eagle. But I struck some really nice, solid par putts. That’s what you’ve got to do to stay in it.” Rafael Cabrera-Bello of Spain joined O’Meara at 67, while the group at 68 included Dustin Johnson and Brandt Snedeker, who each have contended on Sunday over the last two years in the Open.

Eskimos get some key players back for rematch with Lions BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos will be getting some key players back on both sides of the ball when they renew acquaintances with the B.C. Lions this weekend. Receiver Fred Stamps and defensive end Marcus Howard finished three solid days of practice Thursday and are expected back for the rematch between the West Division rivals Saturday in Vancouver. Both missed last weekend’s 17-3 Eskimo loss to the Lions in Edmonton. “(Stamps) had a very good week of practice,” head coach Kavis Reed said Thursday. “We’re very encouraged by what we’ve seen and we don’t see any reason, right now, why

We want people with

he shouldn’t be back on (the roster). Barring some unforeseen setbacks we expect him to be playing on Saturday.” Stamps said it’s been frustrating not being able to practice fully through the few weeks of the season, but after three solid days on the field he said he feels good and will feel “even better come game time.” Reed said Howard also had a good week of practice. “There haven’t been any setbacks with him as well so we’re pretty enthused to say that he’s probably going to be back,” Reed said. Reed agreed that the return of the two key individuals on offence and defence will make the Eskimos a much better team on Saturday when they try to even their record at 2-2 and pull even with the Lions in the West

Division standings. “You can list our top guys and they’re going to be in the top five or for sure the top 10,” Reed said of Stamps and Howard. “So they’re significant to their respective units, to what we’re doing. We really feel with them on the field we’re a much better football team.” The Eskimos will have to be that if they hope to beat the 2-1 Lions. Last weekend the offence managed just 176 yards — 97 of that on Mike Reilly’s completing 13 of 23 passes. With the offence running just six plays in the third quarter, the defence was on the field for nearly 12 minutes and surrendered two long touchdown drives to the Lions to start the second half. The Eskimos are confident the return of Stamps, who leads

the team with nine catches for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the two games he played, will bring life to the offence. The six-year CFL veteran posted those stats even though he hadn’t practised much because of an undisclosed leg injury. Despite the lack of reps, Stamps and Reilly seem to have instant chemistry. “Those two have spent a lot of time together in the film room, lots of time after practice with each other, visualizing and talking through routes,” Reed said. “Fred is a consummate pro. Fred is going to be where he needs to be when he needs to be there. Mike has to trust that and Mike has trusted that. We’ve seen that Fred is his goto guy a in spite of the fact they haven’t had the opportunity to get a number of reps together.”

Durant returns to practice for Riders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Corey Chamblin had his starter back Thursday. Darian Durant returned under centre with the Saskatchewan Roughriders after suffering a foot injury in last week’s 39-28 road win over the Toronto Argonauts. Durant had a walking boot on his foot earlier in the week and didn’t practice before Thursday. Durant, 30, took the majority of snaps with the starting offence and performed well, Chamblin said. However, the Riders head coach is taking a wait-and-see approach regarding whether Durant will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday at Mosaic Stadium. “Darian looked pretty good . . . you could tell he had a day off as far as his throwing but other than that he looked good,” Chamblin said. “He says he feels like he’s in that 85-90 per cent range and can tape it up and do some things and be ready to go. “But if he feels like he’s limping and can’t do what the gameplan says

then he probably won’t go. We want to make sure how healthy he is, if he felt any pain, does he feel like he’s mobile enough and do we feel like he’s mobile enough?” Backup Drew Willy also practised with the starters Thursday after seeing plenty of time with the No. 1 unit earlier this week with Durant out. “That was the good thing about it,” Chamblin said. “When Darian didn’t practise Day 1 it allowed Drew to get his reps in and that was pretty good for him.” Durant has had a solid start to the season for the unbeaten Riders (30). He has completed 54-of-75 passes (72 per cent) for 674 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions and has a league-best efficiency rating of 135.1. Sophomore Willy has made one career CFL start, that being a 28-17 loss to Montreal last September. The former University of Buffalo star was 22of-34 passing for 225 yards and a TD with two interceptions. Whoever starts against Hamilton will have the benefit of another reli-

able receiver in the lineup. Chamblin said veteran slotback Geroy Simon, a key off-season acquisition from B.C., will make his long-awaited Saskatchewan debut after missing the club’s first three games with a leg injury. “Superman will fly,” Chamblin said of Simon, who traditionally strikes a Superman pose after each TD he scores. “What people don’t understand is with Geroy you don’t even notice him and not in a bad way. “It’s like he’s been here forever, he’s woven himself in and just brings confidence to the guys and confidence to the quarterback knowing he has another set of sure hands. For the younger guys, it’s being around a legend because he’s going to be a Hall of Famer one day and he helps them take their game to a new level.” Simon, 37, is a two-time Grey Cup champion and six-time league allstar over his 14-year CFL career. He’s the all-time leader in receiving yards (15,787) and needs 29 catches to break Ben Cahoon’s league record of 1,017. Simon joins a Saskatchewan offence that’s on a nice roll. The Riders lead

the CFL in scoring (38 points per game) and rushing (173 yards) and are second in total yards (398.7). Running back Kory Sheets has a league-best 442 rushing yards, the highest three-game total to start a season in CFL history. Sheets ran for a career-high 178 yards against Toronto and will be key performer against a Hamilton defence allowing 147.3 yards per game rushing and 8.8 yards per run attempt. Hamilton’s defence is also allowing 29.7 points per game as well. Sunday’s contest will also mark the return Kent Austin to Saskatchewan. Austin guided the Riders to a Grey Cup win in ’89 as the starter before taking the club to another CFL title in ’07 in his first season as a head coach. Two months later, Austin left Saskatchewan to become the offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Ole Miss, before being named Cornell’s head coach Jan. 26, 2010. Austin returned to the CFL on Dec. 17, 2012 when Hamilton hired him to be its head coach, GM and director of football operations.

Bombers sign junior receiver as injury list grows longer WINNIPEG — He may sit on the bench but the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed a 20-year-old junior football receiver for their game Friday night against the Toronto Argonauts. It’s a Cinderella story for Brett Carter but also a sign of how banged up the Winnipeg receiving corps is right now. “I can’t put it into words,” said a grinning Carter. “It’s unreal. I’m so thankful for the opportunity.” And Bombers coach Tim Burke says Carter should be ready for anything. “He might get his chance to get out there and play in a CFL game,” he said. Carter will back up slotback Jade Etienne while Rory Kohlert will move from that spot to fill Cory Watson’s position. Watson is expected to be gone two-to-four weeks with a hamstring injury. “I think Rory Kohlert will do a great job running routes,” said Burke. “We’ll have to find a different way to block . . but we’ll be fine.” Argos coach Scott Milanovich isn’t concerned about Winnipeg’s woes. “I’ve got my own problems,” he said. “This really is a new team.” The Argos will be trying out a new receiver as well Friday in John Chiles. “We’re excited to see what he can do,” said Milanovich. There’s a lot on the line for both Winnipeg and Toronto as all four teams in the East Division head into action with underwhelming 1-2 records.

Kings sign Brown to 8-year extension THE CANADIAN PRESS Dustin Brown looked at the core of the Los Angeles Kings, and his decision was easy. He wanted to stay long-term, and he wanted to get the deal done himself. Brown did just that, signing for eight years and US$47 million, ensuring that this Stanley Cup-champion Kings team would have its captain around through the 2021-22 season. The rightwinger joined goaltender Jonathan Quick, defencemen Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov and forwards Mike Richards and Jeff Carter as players signed for at least the next six seasons. Signing Brown to this contract was just “part of the process.” “It wasn’t only building it, but trying to keep it together and then fit it under the cap,” Kings general manger Dean Lombardi said. “You’re never done. It wasn’t just about becoming a good team. It was doing these type of things so that you could build a culture.”

“Would we like to be 3-0, yeah,” said Argos receiver/kick-returner Chad Owens. “But we’re just going to continue to work. It’s a very long season.” Quarterback Ricky Ray said the Argos can certainly help themselves with a win but added that won’t be easy against a Winnipeg defence that’s recorded a league-leading 18 sacks. “You watch film and they can get after the quarterback,” he said. The loss of Watson certainly complicates matters for the Bombers.

Not only is he their leading receiver and best blocker at that position, but as a Canadian he’s also a ratio changer. With Chris Matthews and Terrence Edwards also out, import Doug Pierce is getting another chance to start at receiver. And he’s excited about that after spending most of his year and a bit with the Bombers as a backup. “I’ve been ready to go since last year, the end of the season, but a little extra work never hurt anybody,” he said after Thursday’s walkthrough.

Burke said he apologized to safety Dan West after re-examining his hit on Watson that injured the receiver on the final play of Wednesday’s practice. Shortly after Watson was hurt, Burke vented about West shoving the receiver out of bounds but added Thursday that Watson wasn’t without blame. “You never should say anything until after you’ve watched the video,” Burke said. “I apologized to Dan for making him the villain. . . Cory had a part in it. “He shouldn’t have

The Bombers have been impressed with his enthusiasm and ability. “What a great moment for him and I’m excited,” said quarterback Buck Pierce. “We’re proud of him and we know that he can play.” Pierce says he’s excited at the prospect of facing Toronto’s defence. The unit has struggled — allowing 32 points and 162 yards rushing per game, both league highs — but Pierce is expecting an aggressive gameplan from Argos defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones.

stiff-armed Dan.” Watson caught a long pass and stiff-armed West on the helmet before being pushed out of bounds and falling to the ground. Carter, 20, attended Winnipeg’s training camp and appeared in both exhibition games before being released. He continued practising with the Bombers as a territorial exemption and was expecting to do so until the start of the Winnipeg Rifles’ junior season next month before signing with the CFL club.

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, July 19, 2013 B3

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes offensive line is usually taken for granted as one of the best in the Canadian Football League. But the Als big men will have pressure on their shoulders when they face the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night missing both starting guards. Nine-time CFL allstar Scott Flory was lost for the rest of the season when he suffered a torn biceps in a 22-14 loss to the Stampeders (2-1) last week. Guard Andrew Woodruff was already on the nine-game disabled list, reportedly with concussion symptoms. That will bring versatile backup Ryan Bomben into the starting five for the rematch at McMahon Stadium. American Mike Ola had already moved in at guard to replace Woodruff. “It’s going OK,” tackle Josh Bourke said Thursday. “We’re still working through things, but the biggest thing is they know what they’re doing. “They’ve played enough that they know what’s going on and they’re prepared to step in and play right away.” The unit that allowed just 30 sacks last season — which has Luc Brodeur-Jourdain at centre between guards Flory and Woodruff and tackles Bourke and Jeff Perrett — was already taking heat for giving up 13 in the first three games of the 2013 campaign. The entire offence has struggled with the departure of coach Marc Trestman to the Chicago Bears, as the Alouettes (1-2) gets used to a new system under Dan Hawkins and offensive co-ordinator Mike Miller. Sacks are only part of the nightmare for 40-year-old quarterback Anthony Calvillo, who has laboured to move the chains under the new regime. His 69.0 efficiency rating is more than 30 points below normal. “We haven’t played our best, but as an offence in general we haven’t played our best this season,” said Bourke, the CFL’s 2011 outstanding lineman. “We realize that. “We know we’re a work in progress right

now. But we have a lot of talent on this offence and I think we can pop at any time. You have to stay positive. One of these weeks things are going to click for us.” It’s new territory for the O-line. The starting five lost only five mangames to injury all last season, four of them when Perrett was sidelined with a hyper-extended left knee. The good news is they have depth. Ola, in his second season in Montreal, played eight games in 2012, five as a starter. He can play both guard and tackle. Bomben, a Burlington, Ont., native in his third season, is a jack-of-alltrades, playing guard, tackle, tight end and fullback at different times while dressing for all 18 games last season. He even caught five passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. “He has tremendous feet,” Brodeur-Jourdain said of Bomben. “He’s in a bad position and suddenly he gets back. “I’m very confident in these two guards. But for sure, we can’t replace Flory. He’s the mastermind of our O-line for many years. He’s the brain, basically.” The 37-year-old Flory, a two-time CFL outstanding lineman, is certainly the elder statesman. The Regina native has been an Alouette since his pro debut in 1999. He has missed only one game in the last 13 years. “Besides being a great player, he’s the biggest leader we have,” added Bourke. “But to honour him, we just have to play well.” Meanwhile, Calvillo was throwing the ball with no problem a day after banging a finger on a helmet in practice. He had jammed the same hand against the Stampeders, but stayed in the game. “The strength was OK and that was the only thing I was concerned with,” the CFL’s all-time passing leader said. “It’s still sore, but that’s going to happen. “I was able to complete my throws and I was very happy with it.” It will be Montreal’s second away game of the season, but they didn’t use simulated crowd noise while the offence practised this week.

AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS SUNDRE — Evan Holmes of Calgary Earl Grey has all but wrapped up the Sun Life Financial men’s amateur golf championship heading into today’s final round at the Sundre Golf Club. Holmes shot a four-under par 68 Thursday for his third straight round in the 60s and sits with an 11-under total of 205, nine strokes ahead of Emmett Oh of Calgary Bearspaw and Riley Fleming of Collicutt Siding of Crossfield. Oh shot a 67 and Fleming a 68. Matt Codd of the Red Deer Golf and Country Club (RDGCC) moved into a tie for 16th with a two-over par 74 and sits at 222 and same as Ron Harder of Innisfail, who had a 76. Tom Skinner of the RDGCC had a 74 and is tied for 20th at 224 with Jason Thiels of Olds tied for 27th at 227 following a 75 Thursday. Brett Pasula of the RDGCC shot a 79 and is tied for 30th at 228 while Dane Thorogood of Sundre came in with a 78 and is tied for 53rd at 234.

MIDGET AAA BASEBALL The Red Deer Carstar Braves split a NorWest Midget AAA Baseball League doubleheader with the Okotoks Dawgs Red at Great Chief Park Wednesday. The Braves came from behind to win 5-4 in the opener before losing the nightcap 13-7. The Braves trailed 3-0 heading into the bottom of the second in the opener, but scored three times in the inning, then added single runs in the third and fourth. Taran Oulton picked up the win, working six innings. He allowed three runs on three hits and five walks while striking out seven. Ian Chevalier worked the seventh for the save, allowing an unearned run on two hits and a walk. Levi Moon had three hits and two RBIs while Ryan Klinck, Dylan

Borman, Justin Logan, Tristan Hill and Brendan Baker had two hits each. In the second game the teams were tied at 5-5 heading into the sixth, but the Dawgs exploded for five runs to take control. Braves starter Mac Guckert went five innings, allowing five runs — four earned — on five hits and two walks while fanning five. Hill went the final two innings allowing eight runs — five earned — on eight hits and two walks. The Braves managed nine hits with Oulton collecting two. The Braves finish their regular season on the road playing a doubleheader at the Sherwood Park Dukes Saturday and the Spruce Grove Sox Sunday. The provincials begin Wednesday in Okotoks.

Santos strikes out three in rehab game BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Based on the three strikeouts he posted in his one inning of work, it’s understandable why Sergio Santos feels he’s ready to return to the Toronto Blue Jays. Santos, pitching for the Buffalo Bisons, fanned three of the four batters he faced, shutting out the Toledo Mud Hens in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss. On the disabled list since April 15 with a right triceps strain, Santos allowed a one-out single in the first triple-A game of his rehab assignment. He threw 12 of his 20 pitches for strikes. Prior to joining Buffalo, Santos appeared in five games with single-A Dunedin and allowed four hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings. “I felt good. It was definitely a little different atmosphere than I was used to in Dunedin,” Santos said. “I had a little more adrenaline going, facing better hitters. It

was a better task for me and I was able to get a better gauge of where I’m at.” After a little prodding, Santos admitted he felt ready to make the short jaunt along the Queen Elizabeth Way to Toronto. “It was a good day’s work,” Santos said. “If it was up to me, I’d like to be back as soon as possible.” Buffalo manager Marty Brown differed slightly, indicating Santos needs more seasoning. “He definitely needs another outing or two,” Brown said. “Just to see where he’s at. He was a little amped up tonight.” Santos felt that the hit he allowed provided a benefit, forcing him into a situation with a runner on base. “That’s what I need to work on,” he said. “It feels so foreign sometimes when there’s runners on base and there’s stuff happening. It kind of felt more game-like, in situations I would face during the season. It was good to have that kind of pressure and not let

any runs come across.” Outfielder Melky Cabrera also joined the Bisons (49-48) to continue his rehab work, but did not play. He was placed on Toronto’s disabled list on June 27 with left knee tendinitis and has played two games with Dunedin and three with double-A New Hampshire, batting .294 (5-of-17) in five games. Cabrera is expected to make his Buffalo debut on Friday. Thad Weber (3-4), who made four appearances with Toronto in May and June, started for Buffalo and battled through five innings. He matched his season-high with four runs allowed on six hits and a season-high four walks. Weber entered the game with five quality starts in his last six appearances and had last worked fewer than six innings on June 4. Buffalo, in its first game since the all-star break, was held to seven hits, including a two-out triple by Kevin Pillar in the first inning. Pillar has been a revelation at triple-A, batting .347 with hits in 20-of-25 games with the Bisons.

STORIES FROM B1

OPEN: Glassy and crispy around the holes Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, who lost in a playoff at the Masters in April, and 19-year-old Jordan Spieth were in the group at 69. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., playing in his first major, opend at 5-over 76. It was a beautiful day along the Firth of Forth. And it was hard work. No one felt safe until the ball stopped bouncing along the crusty fairways, and no one was sure when that would happen. “I haven’t seen anything like this,” said Snedeker, who tied the 36-hole Open record a year ago at Lytham. “I’ve played in, I think, five Opens. This is completely new to me — foreign to see a 2-iron going 300 yards. You have got to be wary of how you’re shaping your golf ball, and what shot selections you’re using on the greens.” O’Meara thought he hit a reasonable bunker shot on the 15th until it kept rolling — and rolling — off the green and into another bunker. “They get so glassy and crispy around the holes,” Graeme McDowell, who played with Woods, said after a 75. “You literally can see 300 footprints around the hole from all the players and caddies that have been out there today. They just get really shiny, and really glassy. I couldn’t single out a pin that I thought was unfair. But if you got on the wrong side of them, they could make you look very, very silly.” Yes, there was plenty of that. Rory McIlroy never looked comfortable, and it caught up with him. After missing left of the 12th green, he chipped it up the slope and watched it roll back down to his feet. His next chip was long and he wound up with double bogey. On the 15th hole, his putt to the back pin rolled well past the hole and into a bunker for another double bogey. A bogey-bogey finish gave him a 79, his highest score at the Open since that 80 in the vicious wind of St. Andrews in 2010. At least he had some company. Luke Donald, another former No. 1 player in the world, had a

Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain plays out of a sand trap on the 18th hole during the first round of the British Open Golf Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, Thursday. double bogey and a triple bogey two holes apart on the back nine. He shot 80. Nick Faldo celebrated his 56th birthday with a return to the links where he won two of his three claret jugs. He shot a 79, but still enjoyed the nerves and the emotions of seeing the gallery lining both sides of the fairway in his first Open in three years. Lloyd Saltman got the 142nd Open off to a dubious start when it took him three tee shots to get his ball in play. He made a quadruple-bogey eight. Some eight hours later, Woods hooked his opening tee shot so far left, and into grass so deep, that he took a penalty shot for an unplayable lie. Woods hit into a bunker, but blasted out to 4 feet to escape with bogey. He made four birdies in his round, including a 25-foot bender behind the 13th hole. But it was the clutch putting that kept him going. Dustin Johnson played the three par 5s in 4-under, yet what made him smile was a par. From left of the par-3 seventh green, he chipped between two bunkers and watched the ball ride the rounded face of one, roll precariously near the top of another and settled 4 feet away.

“That,” he said, “was sweet.” Mickelson, coming off a win at the Scottish Open on a links-styled course at Castle Stuart, rolled in three big putts early in his round and kept it together with great lag putts for par when he ran into what he called “technical difficulties.” He rallied with a pair of late birdies, only for his last attempt from 15 feet above the hole on the 18th to slide some 6 feet by for a three-putt bogey. Even so, Lefty was pleased to be done as the greens turned brown. “I got very lucky to play early today because as the day wore on and we got to the back nine, about a third of every green started to die and become brown,” he said. “And the pins were very edgy, on the slopes. The guys that played early had a huge, huge break. Because even without any wind, it’s beyond difficult.” It was tough all day. Ninety-eight players in the 156man field had at least a double bogey on their scorecards. Former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover might have summed it up best when he took to Twitter after opening with an 80. “Muirfield 1, Me 0.”

Second half setting up to be exciting MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Much of the focus as baseball heads into the second half is on the possible suspensions of Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and a handful of All-Stars implicated in the Biogenesis performance enhancing drug scandal. Puigmania, a Pirates revival and one impressive power show in Baltimore may shift the gaze back onto the field, where there will be a lot to watch headed down the stretch of the regular season. Fans who have been celebrating Mariano Rivera at every stop of his farewell tour should get a chance to watch returning stars Derek Jeter, Chris Carpenter, A-Rod and even Manny Ramirez after a first half dominated by 20-somethings. The American League won the All-Star game on Tuesday night, giving home-field advantage in the World Series back to the junior circuit after three years of NL dominance. Now the race is on to get to the Fall Classic, and some underachieving preseason favourites are looking to make their moves. Every playoff spot is legitimately up for grabs, with no team leading a division by more than a halfdozen games. And the NL East, where Atlanta is up six on Washington, is the only place where the division leader is ahead by three games or more. What to look for in the second half, that begins Friday:

Reggie Jackson (1969) for best ever in the AL — talk of the single-season home run record is bubbling again. Crush Davis, however, doesn’t have his sights set on Barry Bonds’ 73 homers, he wants to top Roger Maris’ 61, the number he thinks is the legitimate, untainted mark. “After everything came out, I assumed 61 was the record,” Davis said. “I think it’s what a lot of fans would agree on.” Davis, whose previous career high for homers was last year’s 33, needs 25 long balls in 66 games to reach 62. Of course, most of the rest of baseball goes with Bonds’ number, including Davis’ teammate Adam Jones. “He still hit them over the fence,” Jones said.

A HALF FOR THE AGED Move over whippersnappers, the old guard is back — maybe. Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Matt Harvey, Patrick Corbin and a record 39 first-time All-Stars grabbed the spotlight in the first half but expect to see some seasoned stars in the next few weeks that could impact the pennant races. The injury-ravaged Yankees have hung around in the potent AL East with a “Who’s on First?” lineup. Now they should get Derek Jeter back after a onegame false start and Alex Rodriguez’s return from off-season hip surgery is imminent. The St. Louis Cardinals have surged to baseball’s best record in part behind the pitching of some pret-

ty good rookies. Imagine how much better they’ll be if 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter is fully recovered from a nerve injury and bad back. Talking about back, how about Manny Ramirez — all the way from Taiwan? The twice suspended slugger is hitting .300 with three homers in eight games for Texas’ top minor league club, Triple-A Round Rock, and the Rangers are in need of a big righty bat. Could it be the dreadlocked Ramirez?

WHEELIN’ AND DEALIN’ After pushing their payroll over $200 million this off-season, don’t expect the Dodgers to sit quietly as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches. They got an early start acquiring Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins to bolster the rotation and could make further moves. The resurgent Red Sox might be on the lookout for another reliever after picking up left-hander Matt Thornton when lefty Andrew Miller was lost for the season with an injury. Teams hoping to fill a spot in the rotation can call Cubs executive Theo Epstein. Matt Garza is up for grabs and he’s one of the most prominent names fans will hear a lot of in the next two weeks. The flagging Phillies could look to move infielder Michael Young. The pitching-rich Giants might try to trade Tim Lincecum after he threw a no-hitter just before the break. If A-Rod is unable to play because of his hip, expect the Yankees to look for a corner infielder. Pitchers Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain could be the bait.

CLOCK IS TICKING The Washington Nationals need a healthy Bryce Harper to get into a groove and help them chase down Atlanta. The big-spending Dodgers are suddenly surging, 17-5 since June 22, thanks to the youthful exuberance of Yasiel Puig, with a smile to match that of owner Magic Johnson. North of the border, the Blue Jays made the biggest off-season moves but NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey’s knuckleball has been mostly offtarget and Toronto finds itself in last place in the powerful AL East. But don’t count anyone out in what’s widely considered the toughest division in the majors. Pedro Alvarez and the Pittsburgh Pirates appear poised to put 20 years of misery behind them, after two years of teasing their fans by being in the hunt heading into the break only to fade down the stretch. With the Houston Astros now in the AL, the NL Central is one of the most competitive divisions. So far it’s only been California dreamin’ for Josh Hamilton in his first year in Los Angeles, even with Houston in the division. He’ll have to improve on his .224 average, .413 slugging percentage for the Angels to have a shot to overtake Home Run Derby champ Yoenis Cespedes and the pesky A’s. Albert Pujols’ ballclub is 11 games back in the AL West and nine games behind for the wild card.

HOMER CRUSH Baltimore’s big bopper Chris Davis is off on a race of his own. With 37 homers before the break — tying

Grebeshkov returns to Oilers on one-year deal THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have signed defenceman Denis Grebeshkov to a one-year contract. Grebeshkov played parts of three seasons with the Oilers from 2007 through 2010 before being traded to the Nashville Predators. He spent the three previous years in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.

The 29-year-old is a veteran of 227 NHL games. He was the 18th overall pick of the Los Angeles Kings in 2002 and played for the New York Islanders before going to the Oilers the first time. During his Oilers tenure, Grebeshkov had 76 points in 190 games. He had eight assists in 44 games split between SKA St. Petersburg and Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk last season in the KHL.

Canada knocks off Russia in men’s World League volleyball MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina — Canada’s men’s volleyball team produced one of the biggest victories in its history Thursday, upsetting Olympic champion Russia in five sets in its opening match in the FIVB World League Final. Canada overcame a 0-2 deficit in sets to take the match. Canada is ranked 18th in the world and Russia second. The Russians were playing their 73rd World League

Final match while Canada was playing its first. Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., led the Canadian attack with 20 points, Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon, who missed the last five matches due to a leg injury, added 13 and Fred Winters of Victoria chipped in 11. Canada reached the final by placing first in group C during the preliminary round with a record of 8-2. Canada has won seven straight matches with Thursday’s win. In the Pool E World League Final standings,

Russia (1-1) is first with three points, Canada (10) second with two and Brazil (0-1) third at 1 point. In five set matches the winning team gets two points and the loser one. Russia beat Brazil in five on Wednesday. In Pool D, Bulgaria (1-0) is first with three points while Argentina (0-1) and Italy (0-0) have no points. Italy faces Bulgaria later Thursday. The top-two in each group advance to the semis on Saturday. Canada plays the number-one ranked Brazilians on Friday.

Summerhays leads after first round in Sanderson Farms Championship PGA TOUR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MADISON, Miss. — Daniel Summerhays rebounded from a disappointing finish last week in Illinois to take the lead Thursday in the rain-delayed first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship. Four days after squandering the final-round lead in the John Deere Classic, Summerhays shot a 9-under 63 to open a three-stroke lead. He had an eagle and seven birdies in a bogey-free round in steamy conditions at Annandale Golf Club. “You have to enjoy these moments,” Summerhays said. “Sometimes we take good golf for granted and you forget how hard this game is. It can be a really hard game, so I’m just soaking it in. I’m really excited about where my game is at and I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things on the weekend and testing myself again.” Will Claxton, Michael Bradley and Jonathan Randolph shot 66. Chad Campbell and D.J. Trahan, both former winners in the event, topped the group at 67. The entire afternoon group was unable to finish because of storms that hit the course in suburban Jackson. Play was stopped at 2 p.m. and never resumed. Players returned to the practice areas at 6 p.m. with a plan to restart an hour later, but PGA Tour officials determined the course was too wet.

The 29-year-old Summerhays was in position to win his first PGA Tour title last week, but followed a third-round 62 with a 72 to finish a stroke out of a three-way playoff that Jordan Spieth won to earn a spot in the British Open. Tied for the lead with a hole to play, Summerhays closed with a bogey after his second shot buried in a greenside bunker. “You take all the positives,” Summerhays said. “I shot 18-under par for 72 holes and was standing on the 18th fairway with a chance to win the golf tournament. That can only breed confidence. ... When you’re driving the ball well and hitting your wedges well and feel like you can make almost any putt, it’s a really fun game. I was really excited to come play this morning.” Summerhays eagled the par-5 18th — his ninth hole — with a 17-footer from the fringe. He birdied four of the next five holes, including the long par4 fourth. “I definitely got things going with that eagle on 18,” Summerhays said. “That was nice.” Major winners Davis Love III, David Toms and Mike Weir, grouped together in the first two rounds, finished four holes before play was stopped. Kevin Kisner was the top player in the afternoon session, playing the first six holes in 4 under. The tournament has a history of rain delays, whether as a summertime event opposite the British Open — as it has been the last three years — or a fall tournament. In 2009, the tournament was cancelled after torrential rain drenched the course for five straight days.

Video game vote shows Brodeur still a big name

by THE CANADIAN PRESS At 41, Martin Brodeur is still a figure to be reckoned with. Just ask Sergei Bobrovsky, Pavel Datsyuk, James van Riemsdyk and Anze Kopitar. The veteran New Jersey Devils goalie beat them all head-to-head in a fan vote to decide the cover athlete for EA Sports’ made-in-Canada “NHL 14” video game. Much has happened since Brodeur’s name was revealed as the first goalie since John Vanbiesbrouck of the Florida Panthers in 1997 to grace the game cover. Just hours after Brodeur met reporters at the Devils’ Prudential Center home to talk up his video game honour on the day of the NHL draft, New Jer-

goalies make saves, it’s unbelievable.” His familiarity these days comes through his kids, especially with the NHL game. “They always played for the Devils, that’s for sure,” he said. And why not? Brodeur leads the NHL in most games played by a goalie (1,220), minutes played (71,786), wins (669), saves made (30,569) and shutouts (121). In the playoffs, he has another 205 games, 113 wins and 24 shutouts. So is the Martin Brodeur in the game as good as in real-life? “I like to believe I’m a little bit better than that,” he laughed, “but they’re pretty good.” The fan vote campaign to select the cover athlete — it started with 60 candidates —garnered 22 million votes online and another million via Twitter. Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux was on the cover of last year’s game. “NHL 14” is slated for release Sept. 10 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

sey traded for Vancouver goalie Cory Schneider. The Devils wrapped up an eventful day with Brodeur taking the podium to select son Anthony, also a goalie, with the 208th pick. The elder Brodeur, in the last year of his contract, said he understood the club’s rationale in acquiring the 27-year-old Schneider for the ninthoverall pick (which tuned out to be London Knights forward Bo Horvat). He knows he can’t play for ever. Still Brodeur promises to fight for his starting job. The Devils have said he is still their No. 1 although it is likely they will split time. As for Brodeur, he says he still loves what he does. “I really appreciate every day of it,” he said. “Because I know one day it’s

Being a video game cover boy is the latest addition to a resume that includes three Stanley Cups, four Vezina and five Jennings Trophies, two Olympic medals and a World Cup of Hockey championship. The 20-year-NHL veteran has also been credited with three goals. But Brodeur says he never expected this honour. “Not really. It’s exciting to finally get a goalie on the cover,” he said in a recent interview. “Goalies, we got snubbed in the last 10 years or so it’s definitely nice to be on the cover.” Brodeur says he played video games when he was younger, reeling off the names of old-school consoles. “Lately these graphics are too complex for me to follow,” he said with a laugh. “It’s real-life, from the way they skate, the way they hit and the way

L’ALPE D’HUEZ, France — After five gruelling hours of riding, as he strained and sweated to victory in an eyepopping Tour de France stage with crowds that turned cycling’s most famous climb into a huge and raucous high-mountain party, Christophe Riblon didn’t want it to stop. Winning a Tour stage is always special. Becoming the first French stage winner at the 100th Tour was doubly special. Doing all this in front of hundreds of thousands of screaming fans, several rows deep up 21 steep hairpin bends in the Alps, well, Riblon wanted the pleasure to last and last. “It was as if the crowds were carrying me. Magical,” Riblon said. “The last kilometre (half-mile) wasn’t long enough. I so would have liked to have profited more from that moment with the crowds. It was incredible. I would have liked for it to go on for 10 kilometres (six miles) like that.” In a Tour that has offered a kaleidoscope of racing drama and scenic beauty from its June 29 start point on the French island of Corsica, this Stage 18 was the one that most set hearts racing and tongues wagging when organizers unveiled the race route last October. When their bodies and minds are already sapped by more than two weeks of racing, it sent the riders — should that be victims? — not once but twice up the legendary climb to the ski station of L’Alpe d’Huez. Between the two ascents, the route hared down a sinewy, narrow and risky descent with no safety barriers that some riders, including Tour champion-in-themaking Chris Froome, felt was dangerous. The gamble could have backfired horribly had a rider plunged off a missed bend.

Project seeds 138 acres of wheat The Central Alberta Foodgrains Growing Project has seeded 138 acres of wheat to start their 18th year. On May 12, they have seeded CPS wheat in a field on the north side of Hwy 11 near Range Road 25-0 and so far have had one spray application. “It is looking good, but some heat would really move it along, given all the moisture we have had,” said Doug Maas, Central Alberta Foodgrains Growing Project committee member. “This year, the project is in a new area. Each year we try

CENTRAL ALBERTA FOODGRAINS PROJECT to grow our crop in a different location and for 2013, we are in the Satinwood/Haynes vicinity for the first time.” The project is one of more than 200 across Canada. Once the crop has been harvested and sold, all proceeds are sent to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in Winnipeg and the funds are used as aid for the disadvantaged around the world. “We have had excellent sup-

port from farmers in that area with the field work, and input suppliers and other agri-businesses have also helped us this year,” said Maas. “It does not matter where our field is located, each year local farmers donate their time and their machinery to assist us with our project.” People who live near the seeded crop can help as well. The committee has a spon-

City of Red Deer Recreation, Parks and Culture workers Daniel Vasquez, left, and Josh Barnard, in bobcat, remove a black ash tree on Addington Drive Thursday. These trees were infected with cottony ash psyllid and many trees in the city are being replaced due to this insect.

Diseased trees removed, replaced

FREE MOVIES FOR FLOOD AID

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF

BLACK ASH DUG UP

Central Albertans can enjoy free movies on Saturday morning at a benefit for Alberta flood relief at Galaxy Cinemas in Gasoline Alley in Red Deer. Regular sized popcorn and fountain drinks will be sold for a reduced price of $2 each with all proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross for Alberta flood relief. The movies scheduled for Saturday include Parental Guidance at 9 a.m.; Skyfall at 9:15 a.m.; Escape from Planet Earth at 9:30 a.m.; Jack and the Giant Slayer at 9:45 a.m.; and Kung Fu Panda 2 at 10 a.m. All movies are free of charge and seats are available on a first come, first serve basis. The movie theatre will open at 8:30 a.m. All Cineplex Odeon theatres in Alberta are participating in the free movie event. Galaxy Cinemas are just south of Costco in Gasoline Alley.

Residents along the north side of Addington Drive watched as City of Red Deer workers ripped up diseased black ash and replaced them with smaller trees. Prior to the removal of the trees, the city issued notices to residents along the street that they would be coming. The trees were infected with cottony ash psyllid, an invasive pest that feeds on black and Manchurian ash trees. A crew was digging up the diseased trees on Thursday using a Bobcat to remove them and then dig appropriate-sized holes to plant new trees. Neighbours in the Anders community said they think it is wonderful that the city is removing the diseased trees and then replacing them with new trees. In 2011, the city started noticing damage to ash trees and noted that the pest’s popula-

tion was increasing and causing damage to the ash trees. The psyllids are tiny insects and the larvae are difficult to see with the naked eye. An adult is about 2.54 mm long with yellow and black markings on its body and has four clear wings. They overwinter as eggs attached to the buds and outer branches. When they hatch in the spring, they consume sap from the new leaves. The city advises that spraying the tree with insecticidal soap may kill the pest, but timing is critical and it is best to spray as soon as leaves begin to emerge. For more information about these pests, contact the city’s Recreation, Parks and Culture Department at 403-342-8234 or visit www.reddeer.ca/parks. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

BRIEFS Man fined for drug possession A Sylvan Lake man was fined $1,150 for drug possession in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday. Eddie Daniel Rogers, 34, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing and instead pleaded guilty to the charge. The charge stems from an arrest by Sylvan Lake RCMP on Aug. 24, 2012. Police reported at the time that a driver was pulled over on Lakeshore Drive for speeding and they found a large quantity of Percocet pills, also known as oxycodone. Rogers was originally charged with possession of drugs for trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.

Firefighters calendar raises $42,000 Red Deer firefighters raised almost $42,000 for charity from beefcake calendar sales. All proceeds will go towards the Red Deer Firefighters Children’s Charity to support local charities. The 2013 calendar was launched October 2012 and 1,900 calendars were sold. Red Deer Firefighters Children’s Charity and Local 1190 spearheaded the project and $41,900 was raised. “We were so happy that the calendar has

been such a success. It was difficult getting the idea off the ground as it has been such a long time since we have done one, but our members have really embraced it,” said Dan Henschel of Red Deer Firefighters Children’s Charity. “We hope to do more in the future to help support local charities.” For more information, visit www.reddeerfirefighters.org.

Water pipe leaks in Nordegg repaired Pipe leaks in Nordegg last week were repaired over the weekend. Marshall Morton, Clearwater County director of public works, said there were two problems with the line but the water is back on. “One was a gasket that failed and the other was just an older piece of line that had cracked,” said Mortin. “We hydrovaced and opened them and then repaired them.” Morton said water breaks like this are not uncommon, although they usually happen during the fall and spring when frost occurs. “We found the two and repaired them and we do have another area of concern that we will be digging up and looking at, but it shouldn’t have a significant impact on the system,” said Morton. The leaks that did occur weren’t significant enough to drain the reservoir, meaning there was no chance for contamination. “These were just smaller breaks that took us a little time to find.”

Central Albertans are making their mark with STARS — some by accident, some by design. The air ambulance society’s 2014 calendar, one of the fundraisers that helps keep STARS in the sky, will feature two local VIPs (very important patients) and will include a CD by a country singer who has shared his talents to boost the calendar campaign. Featured within the pages of the 20th annual calendar are former patients Brenda Schultz and Jordan Fraser, who Brenda Schultz were both airlifted to hospital by a STARS helicopter and crew after suffering severe injuries. Schultz, 37 at the time, suffered a spinal cord injury and was left partially paralyzed after falling five metres off of a deck while visiting in Alder Flats during the Labour Day weekend in 2011. A teaching assistant in the Grandview School, Schultz was flown to Edmonton for treatment. Joining her on the pages of the calendar is city resident Jordan Fraser, 12. Fraser suffered multiple injuries when he had a major crash on the ski slope at Canyon Ski and Recreation Area on Feb. 4. In total, STARS crews responded to 54 emergencies in Red Deer during 2012. Recording artist Gord Bamford of Lacombe has chipped in by creating a Christmas CD for the calendar package, which sells for $30. Bamford says supporting STARS is a natural choice for him, given that many of his friends, family and fans live in rural areas, far away from major hospitals. Rae Fehr, director of development and major gifts for STARS, said Bamford’s support and having his CD in the calendar package will put the calendars on more walls in Western Canada. An additional 25,000 calendars have been printed by the society in anticipation of an increase in sales, for a total of 150,000. STARS representatives are going door to door in Central Alberta through the next two weeks, with the calendars to be available online by Aug. 1. Any calendars that remain will be offered for sale at local grocery stores during the Christmas season.

Former addicts to share sobriety stories Former addicts are sharing their sobriety stories during the 10:30 a.m. service at Rimbey Church of Nazarene on Sunday. The residents of the Teen Challenge Alberta residential rehabilitation centre in Calgary will talk about living on the streets, being institutionalized and the impact of their drug addiction on their families. Each resident has a distinct story, from being involved in street or bike gangs to crack or prescription drug abuse, and all have changed their lives for the better. Rimbey Church of the Nazarene is located at 5214 51st St. Teen Challenge Canada has residential facilities and community programs across Canada. For more information visit www. teenchallenge.ca.

Charges stayed against Lacombe man Charges were stayed against a Lacombe man on Wednesday in Red Deer provincial court. Kyle James Bracken, 21, faced two charges of obstructing police, one charge of drug possession and six failures to comply with conditions imposed by the court. Charges stem from an incident in Lacombe on April 17. The Crown prosecutor requested the stay of proceedings, which means charges remain in limbo for one year, during which the Crown may reopen the file. If no action is taken, the charge is dropped.

Riding associations sitting on almost $30M BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Riding associations for federal political parties are sitting on nearly $30-million of taxpayer-subsidized cash, with little obligation to account publicly for how the money is spent. Annual financial reports filed recently with Elections Canada indicate that Conservative electoral district associations are by far the wealthiest, with combined surpluses of $18.3 million in 2012. As of last week, the richest of all was the Conservative association in Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Calgary Southwest riding, which had amassed a war chest of more than $330,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the largest of any riding association, Conservative or otherwise, in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 308 constituencies. Since then, the Conservative association in the eastern Ontario riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington has supplanted Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as the wealthiest, with $409,353. With straggler associations still filing to Elections Canada, the tallies remain somewhat fluid. As of late last week, Liberal riding associations ended last year with combined surpluses totalling $6.3 million while the NDP totalled $2.3 million. Green party riding associations were worth a combined $972,160, while those in the Bloc Quebecois were worth slightly over $1 million. The eye-popping numbers suggest the days are long gone when riding associations consisted of a gaggle of volunteers who met periodically in some-

LAC-MEGANTIC

Homeless face an uncertain future BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAC-MEGANTIC, Que. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Until last Sunday, Jacques Audet was spending nights on a cot in LacMeganticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school gym. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staying in a trailer home right behind it. Audet is one of 187 still unable to return to their homes in Lac-Megantic, nearly two weeks after a train carrying crude oil derailed and flattened the heart of the Quebec town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The shower is good,â&#x20AC;? Audet, a 59-year-old sawmill worker, said with a smile as he stood outside his new sleeping quarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that many needs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to living in a small place.â&#x20AC;? Before the blast, Audet was living in a bachelor pad above a funeral parlour. His place didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear damaged when he was allowed to briefly return last week to get a few cloth-

oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement to plan bake sales to raise a bit of cash. Indeed, the financial reports suggest some of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; primarily the flush Conservative ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have morphed into sophisticated, perpetual campaign machines that rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always encourage our (electoral district associations) to work hard, raise money and prepare for the next election,â&#x20AC;? says Conservative party spokesman Fred DeLorey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the strongest grassroots organization in Canada and it shows.â&#x20AC;? However, exactly what the associations do with all that money remains something of a mystery. Riding associations used to be known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;black holeâ&#x20AC;? of political financing in Canada. There was no legal requirement for them to publicly disclose the money they raised or how they spent it, except during the few short weeks of a federal election campaign. Reforms to the Canada Elections Act in 2004 shone some light on the situation. Associations that wish to issue tax receipts for donations must now register with Elections Canada and produce annual financial reports, which include full disclosure of the names of donors and the amounts they contributed. Those reports also include financial statements that reveal any other sources of revenues, how much was spent in any given year and how much has been stockpiled over the long term.

But exactly what the money was spent on remains murky. Associations report tens of thousands of dollars spent on things like â&#x20AC;&#x153;professional services,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;office expenses,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;travel and hospitality,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;fundraising activities,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;polling and research,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;salaries and benefitsâ&#x20AC;? or just â&#x20AC;&#x153;otherâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with no detailed explanations. Like political parties themselves, the associations, also known as EDAs, are not required to supply receipts to Elections Canada so the watchdog agency has no way of verifying whether the money was spent to stage a community outreach event or to buy the local MP a new car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have no tools to do a basic audit,â&#x20AC;? said Elections Canada spokesman John Enright, noting that current and past chief electoral officers have urged Parliament to rectify the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will see the flow (of money) entering the EDA and the flow exiting the EDA and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it.â&#x20AC;? Riding associations must hire a certified auditor to sign off on their annual reports. The auditor has â&#x20AC;&#x153;the rightâ&#x20AC;? to demand access to receipts and other documentation and â&#x20AC;&#x153;may requireâ&#x20AC;? a financial agent to provide necessary information or explanations. But how many auditors exercise their right to detailed documentation or explanations is unknown. At least one 2012 financial report, for former minister Peter Penashueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conservative riding association in Labrador, is only partially filled in and contains an obvious mathematical error, which evidently escaped the auditor in that case.

ing items and documents, he said. He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to make another trip back to collect photos of loved ones and other personal items. In all, about 2,000 people were forced to leave their homes after the derailment. The vast majority were allowed to return last week but the future isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so clear for those whose homes are destroyed, damaged or located within the security perimeter. Officials say it could be days, months, or even years before those people can go home for good. Most of the evacuees have been staying with family and friends but 20 have been moved to temporary accommodations in nearby motels, housing units or, like Audet, trailer homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to relocate these people to get them more privacy,â&#x20AC;? said Carl Boisvert, a spokesman for the Red Cross organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that sleeping in a high school with a lot of other people can be difficult.â&#x20AC;? About 40 buildings were destroyed in the derailment and many more remain behind police security perimeter, closed off to the public with a curtain-lined fence. The area is still considered a crime scene and authorities continue to search for bodies. So far

they have found 38 out of a possible 50. There are also concerns about safety and soil quality after thousands of litres of oil leaked into the ground. One home exterior was coated in a thin, sludgy film of oil when The Canadian Press visited last week. At its peak, hundreds of people were sleeping on lines of cots in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnasiums. A row of couches, where distraught residents comforted one another, was set up in front of student lockers in a hallway. Other rooms were packed with people lined up to meet with government officials or mental health specialists. Many were fortunate enough to avoid those conditions. Genevieve Latulipe and her 10-month-old daughter rushed from their apartment following the explosion and were able to spend that night with friends nearby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty scary, but I think I was one of the lucky ones,â&#x20AC;? said Latulipe, who was allowed to return home last week.

$200k raised to buy alleged Ford video to be donated to organizations TORONTO — Money raised to buy an alleged video appearing to show Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine will instead be going to four Canadian organizations. Gawker, the U.S. website behind the fundraiser, had promised to donate the roughly $200,000 it collected if the video didn’t surface. A message posted on the website Thursday said the cash will be split four ways between the Somali Canadian Association of Etobicoke, the South Riverdale Community Health Centre, Unison Health and Community Services and the Ontario Regional Addictions Partnership Committee. It said each organization will receive about $46,200. Osman Ali, director of the Somali Canadian group, said he’s “very pleased” by the sudden windfall. The funds will go toward hiring a youth worker to help local youngsters “stay away from guns and gang violence,” he said. The group submitted a proposal for the funding and learned Thursday it had been successful, though only for half the amount it sought, Ali said. Asked whether he was concerned about benefiting from the controversial fundraiser, Ali said only that “God has mysterious ways of helping.” Gawker said Indiegogo, the crowdfunding site that hosted the campaign, and PayPal, which processed the payments, each withheld part of the money for their services. In the message, Gawker editor John Cook said he’s “disappointed” the money won’t serve to buy the alleged video, which he says he has seen. The website previously said it had lost contact with the alleged video’s owner amid the growing scandal surrounding the mayor. Ford has said that he does not use crack cocaine and the alleged video does not exist.

AFN mulls emergency resolution on nutritional experiments Canada’s largest aboriginal group was to debate an emergency resolution Thursday based on a report that the federal government once conducted nutritional experiments on hungry native children and adults. The resolution at the Assembly of First Nations annual meeting in Whitehorse, Yukon, calls on the Harper government to apologize for the experiments conducted between 1942 and 1952 on 1,300 people. Government officials have said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology for the harm done by residential schools was intended to cover all wrongdoing against aboriginals. But chiefs at the meeting are saying that’s not good enough.

“The chiefs-in-assembly will not accept the apology as catch-all recognition for all federal policy past, present and ongoing which have and continue to negatively impact aboriginal peoples,” the draft resolution states. It also demands the government release all records pertaining to any other tests on aboriginal people. “The chiefs-in-assembly call on the federal government to work immediately to provide Indian residential schools survivors, First Nations and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission full and complete access to all records held by the federal government on experiments conducted on aboriginal communities and aboriginal children in residential schools.” The Harper government has resisted some document requests from the commission, which has been tasked with compiling a complete record of aboriginal experiences during the residential school era. The resolution comes in response to a recently released paper by University of Guelph food historian Ian Mosby. He delved into historical documents and discovered federal scientists used malnourished and hungry aboriginals on reserves and in residential schools to study the effects of nutritional supplements.

Giant Mike Duffy-shaped balloon kicks off Senate referendum campaign OTTAWA — It’s part Goodyear Blimp and part Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, all rolled into one enormously inflatable symbol of Senate excess. Meet Mike Duffy — in balloon form. The beleaguered senator from Prince Edward Island was rendered as a two-and-a-half-storey blowup doll for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s campaign to hold a referendum on the fate of the upper chamber. Spokesman Gregory Thomas was clad as a carnival barker — complete with cane and flat-top hat — as the big Duffy balloon lurched to life by the shores of the Ottawa River. “Step right up, ladies! Step right up, gentlemen!” Thomas shouted. “Come and see the senator who nearly ate a government.” As he spoke, men holding ropes laboured to keep the swaying Duffy doppelganger and its overflowing briefcase of cash from toppling into the water and floating away. “Two thousand, one hundred and fifty cubic feet of hot air, with a grossly inflated sense of his own self-importance, and a giant bag of taxpayer money,” Thomas said, later adding the big balloon cost his group $4,700. Thomas says Canadian voters ought to have a chance to decide whether the Senate should be reformed or abolished altogether during the next federal election.

Ill-fated mall owner’s son accused of lying, unethical behaviour to save dad ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. — The son of the owner of the Algo Centre Mall found himself branded a liar Thursday during cross-examination on his fourth

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, July 19, 2013 C3 and final day on the stand at the inquiry into the deadly collapse of the building last summer. Lawyers accused Levon Nazarian of hiding evidence about the mall’s state of disrepair, and of resorting to unethical behaviour to protect his father, who risked losing the facility. Rob MacRae, who represents an engineer that found the mall structurally sound just weeks before it collapsed, said concrete fell in a store around June 2011 but Nazarian hid the fact. Nazarian responded by saying the mall manager had told him there was nothing to worry about because the fallen material was fire-proofing, not concrete. The manager was then instructed to tell the engineer, Bob Wood, to investigate, Nazarian said. “I put it to you that’s an absolute fabrication,” MacRae said. “You’re not only misleading the commission, you’re lying.” “Absolutely not, sir,” Nazarian said. The inquiry has heard that the bank had been threatening to pull the mortgage unless the owner took immediate action to fix the crumbling mall. A series of annual inspections for the Royal Bank had noted serious water penetration and rusting steel supports. Those supports finally gave way June 23, 2012, and part of the rooftop parking deck crashed down, killing two women.

New army commander vows to do ‘what it takes’ to keep troops ready OTTAWA — Canada’s new top soldier, Lt.-Gen. Marquis Hainse, says he’ll do what it takes keep troops trained and ready in the face of austerity. Hainse assumed command of the Canadian Army on Thursday in a sweltering ceremony on the front lawn of Parliament. He replaces Lt.-Gen. Peter Devlin, who is retiring after a 35-year military career. Until recently, Hainse was deputy commander of NATO’s Joint Force Command in Naples. The change of command was the first public event for newly appointed Defence Minister Rob Nicholson, who took over Monday after more than six years in the justice portfolio. Prior to his departure, Devlin expressed concern about keeping the army ready in an era of declining budgets. He warned last week that some of the hardwon lessons and capabilities from the Afghan war remain on “life support.” Hainse says Canada is no different from other Western armies, all of which are facing reductions. “This is my job to make sure we do not do less with less; we’re not going to do more with less. We’re going to do what it takes to maintain that operational capability,” he said after the ceremony. “My job is about leadership and delivering when needed.” Testifying before a Senate committee last year, Devlin said the army faced a 22 per cent reduction to its base budget. With no administrative fat left to cut, budget restraint was forcing him to train soldiers to a lower standard than during the Afghan war, he testified.

South Africans celebrate Mandela’s 95th birthday BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Hospital visitors say Nelson Mandela smiled and nodded Thursday — his 95th birthday — and South Africans celebrated upbeat reports about the former president’s health after weeks of worrying that he was on the verge of death. Children sang Happy Birthday at school assemblies nationwide, and many honoured the man known as “the father of the nation” by performing acts of charity for 67 minutes, symbolizing Mandela’s 67 years of public service. World leaders praised the anti-apartheid leader’s life of sacrifice and vision. Outside the Pretoria hospital where Mandela was admitted for a recurring lung infection, well-wishers paid tribute to him and some received slices of a large birthday cake doled out from inside the compound. “We don’t only recognize him on this day. We put smiles on other people’s faces, we donate to other people less fortunate,” said Thato Williams, a 13-year-old student at Melpark Primary School in Johannesburg, where 700 students gathered in a hall filled with posters created to honour Mandela’s con-

tributions to peace and education. Mandela remains very fragile, and many details of his medical condition have not been divulged or are tightly controlled by his family and President Jacob Zuma. The news that his health had improved was another dramatic turn in the life of a man who became a global figure of sacrifice and reconciliation during the fight against white minority rule in South Africa. “When I visited him today, I found him really stable, and I was able to say, ’Happy Birthday,’ and he was able to smile,” Zuma said, according to the South African Press Association. His office had recently said Mandela’s condition was critical but stable, but a statement Thursday said he was steadily improving. Several months ago, Zuma gave an overly optimistic health assessment, but his remarks Thursday were matched by comments from some members of Mandela’s family. Mandela is making “remarkable progress,” said one of his daughters, Zindzi, after tense weeks. Granddaughter Tukwini Mandela said the day was “bittersweet” for the family. “Obviously we’re really grateful for people sending us good wishes and being generally supportive,

but, you know, my grandfather is not well, he’s in hospital,” she added. “We would have preferred him to actually celebrate this day with us out of the hospital, but we are where we are, and we’re just keeping our heads up and we’re being strong.” Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, who also visited Mandela, described him as “smiling and alert.” “He opens his eyes and nods, as if to say: ‘I’m here with you and appreciate what you’re doing,”’ she said. Hospitalized since June 8, Mandela’s outlook had seemed increasingly grim until his reported turnaround in recent days. Another Mandela granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela, poured soup for poor children at a charity event and said her family had been unsure about whether her grandfather would live to see his birthday. “But because of the fighter that he is, he was able to fight a repressive system, and he was able, through God and everybody’s prayers, to make it today,” she said. Thursday also marked the 15th wedding anniversary of Mandela and Graca Machel, the former first lady of Mozambique who has spent much of the time at her husband’s side during his illness.

Judge refuses to drop most serious charge against Manning

Egypt military warns against violent protests ahead of rallies CAIRO, Egypt — Egypt’s military has issued a stern warning against violence a day ahead of potentially massive protests called for by supporters of the country’s ousted Islamist president. The military statement issued Thursday said that “whoever resorts to violence and deviates from peacefulness in Friday’s rallies will put his life in danger.” The Muslim Brotherhood, from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails, continues to demand his reinstatement, two weeks after he was toppled by the military following massive protests. The Brotherhood is calling for a massive rally Friday, which they’ve titled “Breaking the Coup.”

FORT MEADE, Md. — A military judge refused Thursday to dismiss the most serious charge against Bradley Manning, the Army private who gave reams of classified information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. The charge of aiding the enemy that Manning faces is punishable by up to life in prison without parole. Col. Denise Lind, the judge in Manning’s court-martial, denied defence requests to drop that charge and a computer fraud charge, ruling that the government had presented some evidence to support each element of the charges. Manning showed no reaction to the rulings, sitting forward in his chair and appearing to listen intently, as he has throughout the trial. More than two dozen of his supporters also sat quietly in the courtroom, some wearing T-shirts with the word “truth” on them. “We’re disappointed,” Jeff Paterson, head of the Bradley Manning Support Network, said outside the courtroom. “However, we’re very hopeful” that Manning eventually will be found innocent of the charges. Lind is still considering defence motions to acquit Manning of five theft counts. To convict Manning, the government must prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt; however, they had to meet a less stringent standard in convincing Lind that the charges should stand. Manning has pleaded guilty to reduced versions of some charges. He faces up to 20 years in prison for those offences.

Fans clamour for Justin Timberlake TORONTO APPEARANCE FOR WILLIAM RAST LINE BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Fans showed plenty of summer love for Justin Timberlake as the pop superstar promoted his fashion label north of the border during an in-store appearance. To the delight of throngs who crowded the main floor of the Bay’s flagship Toronto store, Timberlake joined his childhood friend Trace Ayala on Tuesday to tout the fall collection of their label, William Rast. The brand’s name originates from combining Timberlake grandfather’s first name (William) and Ayala’s grandfather’s surname (Rast). Following an introduction by Hudson’s Bay Co. vice-chair Bonnie Brooks, the duo took to the stage with Timberlake sporting a slicked-back ’do, blazer, white William Rast logo tee with a cassette tape and jeans. Following the brief photo opportunity, media were ushered out and Ayala and Timberlake conducted an onstage interview with ETalk reporter Traci Melchor. Sophia Villanueva stood front and centre behind the rope line clad in a

waiting since 7:45 a.m. for a chance to have a glimpse of the singer. Villenueva said she’s been a fan of Timber-

lake well before his days as an ’N Sync frontman, when he was on The Mickey Mouse Club. “I think he has a really good sense of style. He has a lot of swag, as you call it,” said Villanueva, who hails from Mississauga, Ont. “He just carries himself really well whether he’s wearing a plaid shirt, shorts, a suit and tie, a tuxedo for his wedding ... he just knows how to work it. He just has amazing style.” Founded in 2005, the label draws influence from biker culture and American denim heritage. While William Rast initially comprised only denim, the brand went on to expand to encompass a sizable range of goods including leather, outerwear, knits, footwear and eyewear. “We call it wrecked elegance,” said Noah Stern, CEO of Montreal-based FDJ French Dressing Jeans, which designs, manufactures and distributes the collection for Canada and Europe. “Really, it’s an edgy line, it’s a little bit cutting edge, it’s for the rebel in the man and the woman. It’s really based around jeans and motorcycle jackets and sexy moto looks.”

I’m more classic, so I knew I’d be superexcited for this role because I knew I’d love the costumes.” She thinks that the prevailing silhouette, which hugged the body without being too revealing, would be flattering

to many body types. “I was able to have fun, even in the two-pieces. They were body conscious and showed your curves, but they were for more body types. “You can move around in these bathing suits and have fun,” says Mitchell. That, she

says, is likely the key to the longevity of the ’60s look. Her favourite suit was the orange bikini with a seashell-style top and a frilly, modest bottom. The movie’s bosses wouldn’t let her take it home because they were afraid they’d need it for

reshoots, she says, but the white one with a tiny pink floral pattern she bought for herself could have been part of the wardrobe. Online: http://disneychannel. disney.com/teen-beachmovie?cds

NEW YORK — The young stars of Disney Channel’s new Teen Beach Movie enjoyed putting on the ’60s twopiece bikinis a la Annette Funicello so much they wanted to keep them. They also swooned over cheerful prints and crushed on high-waist shorts. The movie debuts today, just in time for the important back-to-school season. Maia Mitchell and Grace Phipps, potential tastemakers for eager teen shoppers, seem to have an appreciation — and knowledge — of retro fashion, and can see beyond it just being just plain “old.” “The entire decade of the ’60s had so much style, more than I think we have nowadays,” says Phipps, who wore one of her grandmother’s vintage dresses to the film’s red-carpet premiere. Teen Beach Movie, which is a riff on West Side Story with a backdrop of Beach Blanket Bingo, largely relies on costumes, coupled with music, to put viewers in a time and place when most of them weren’t yet born. “The base of it all was fun in the sun. Everyone is having great fun here, and that fuels fantasy,” says costume designer Ruth Carter. “Fashion can connect families. You see how the kids wear their hair now, it’s not so different than how their parents wore it when their parents were kids. It’s good for kids to see that parents liked to have fun, wear the trends of the day.” And, Carter asks: Who — now or then — doesn’t love the perfect T-shirt paired with cutoff shorts? Pointy-toe pumps, ankle- and capri-length skinny pants and bubblegum patterns are other looks that would resonate with today’s teenagers, she says. That demographic has some serious shoppers, but their wallets often aren’t very deep. They are looking for the few items that will help them make a strong style statement without going out too far on a limb, adds Louise Roe, stylist and host of TV’s Fashion Star. She crafted outfits for a fashion shoot based on the movie. “The teen beach look is affordable and attainable.” To keep it modern, pair something — or two or three things — from the ’60s with something new, she suggests, perhaps some on-trend colored skinny jeans with a fruit-print sleeveless shirt tied at the waist and ballet flats, or a polka-dot top, denim shorts and gladiator-style flat sandals. The best time to go back in fashion history is when we’ve moved

far enough away from it, Roe says. “Once you’ve done it, you don’t want to do it again. Leave it for someone else.” That puts 19-year-old Mitchell in the clear. “I’m obsessed with retro fashion. My whole wardrobe is vintage- inspired. I’m not a big fan of the

Collisions of ancient stars forged gold, other heavy metals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — A strange glow in space has provided fresh evidence that all the gold on Earth was forged from ancient collisions of dead stars, researchers reported Wednesday. Astronomers have long known that fusion reactions in the cores of stars create lighter elements such as carbon and oxygen, but such reactions can’t produce heavier elements like gold. Instead, it was long thought that gold was created in a type of stellar explosion known as a supernova. But the new research points to a different stellar process involving the collisions of dead or neutron stars that occurred long before the solar system existed. About a decade ago, a team from Europe using supercomputers suggested that gold, platinum and other heavy metals could be formed when two exotic stars — neutron stars — crash and merge. Neutron stars are essentially stellar relics — collapsed cores of massive stars. Now telescopes have detected such an explosion, and the observation bolsters the notion that gold in our jewelry was made in such rare and violent collisions long before the birth of the solar system about 4 ½ billion years ago. People “walk around with a little tiny piece of the universe,” said lead researcher Edo Berger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. NASA’s Swift tele-

Astronaut almost drowned in spacesuit

scope last month observed a gamma-ray burst that resulted from the crash of dead stars. The burst, in a distant galaxy, was some 3.9 billion light-years away. Each light-year is about 6 trillion miles. The burst lasted only a fraction of a second. Using ground telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope, Berger’s team noticed an odd glow that lasted for days. Infrared light in the glow could be evidence that heavy elements like gold had spewed out of the cosmic crash, the researchers said.

The new work, which will appear in a future issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests gold was produced in a similar fashion in the Milky Way. It doesn’t delve into how Earth was sprinkled with riches, but previous studies have suggested that a meteor shower may have delivered gold and other precious metals to the planet. If the new study’s interpretation is correct, “this would be truly very exciting news,” said Stockholm University astrophysicist Stephan Rosswog, who led the

earlier supercomputing effort but didn’t have a role in the latest study. More observations of gamma-ray bursts are needed, but it’s looking more likely that mergers of neutron stars are “a major cauldron in which elements like gold are forged,” Rosswog said. Such flashes are thought to occur in the Milky Way about once every 100,000 years. Berger said it’s unlikely another will happen in our galaxy in our lifetime. But satellites can often detect such eruptions in distant galaxies about once a month.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The spacewalking astronaut who came close to drowning in a flooded helmet searched for clues in his spacesuit Wednesday, in hopes of understanding the unprecedented water leak. Engineers in Houston, meanwhile, conducted their own investigation into what should have been a routine, yet still risky, maintenance job outside the International Space Station. But a day after one of NASA’s most harrowing spacewalks in decades, answers eluded the experts. “There still is no smoking gun or definite cause of what happened or why that water ended up” inside Luca Parmitano’s spacesuit, said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries. Parmitano, Italy’s first and only spacewalker, could not hear or speak by the time he re-entered the space station on Tuesday, 1 ½ hours after stepping out. He also had difficulty seeing because of the big globs of water in his helmet and elsewhere in his suit. He’d worn the same suit on a spacewalk a week earlier, without mishap. NASA aborted the second spacewalk because of the deluge and later acknowledged it was a serious situation in which Parmitano could have choked or even drowned. He looked all right, although wet, when his crewmates pulled off his helmet, and was reported to be in fine shape. The close call points out the ever-present dangers of spacewalking, Mission Control managers acknowledged following the episode.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Detroit on Thursday became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy, as the state-appointed emergency manager filed for Chapter 9 protection. Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy expert, was hired by the state in March to lead Detroit out of a fiscal free-fall and made the filing Thursday in federal bankruptcy court. A number of factors — most notably steep population and tax base falls — have been blamed on Detroit’s tumble toward insolvency. Detroit lost a quarter-million residents between 2000 and 2010.

A population that in the 1950s reached 1.8 million is struggling to stay above 700,000. Much of the middle-class and scores of businesses also have fled Detroit, taking their tax dollars with them. In recent months, the city has relied on state-backed bond money to meet payroll for its approximately 10,000 employees. Orr was unable to convince a host of creditors, the city’s union and pension boards to take pennies on the dollar to help facilitate the city’s massive financial restructuring. If the bankruptcy filing is approved, city assets could be liquidated to satisfy demands for payment.

“Only one feasible path offers a way out,” Gov. Rick Snyder said in a letter to Orr and state Treasurer Andy Dillon approving the bankruptcy. Snyder determined earlier this year that Detroit was in a financial emergency and without a plan to improve things. He made it the largest U.S. city to fall under state oversight when a state loan board hired Orr in March. His letter was attached to Orr’s bankruptcy filing. “The citizens of Detroit need and deserve a clear road out of the cycle of ever-decreasing services,” Snyder wrote. “The city’s creditors, as well as its many dedicated public servants, deserve to know what

promises the city can and will keep. The only way to do those things is to radically restructure the city and allow it to reinvent itself without the burden of impossible obligations.” A turnaround specialist, Orr represented automaker Chrysler LLC during its successful restructuring. He issued a warning early on in his 18-month tenure in Detroit that bankruptcy was a road Detroit and its creditors did not want to tread. He laid out his plans in June meetings with debt holders, in which his team warned there was a 50-50 chance of a bankruptcy filing.

Bank rejects financing for coal-fired plant The Export-Import Bank of the United States has rejected a proposal to provide financing for a new coal-fired power plant in Vietnam. The bank’s board of directors cites the project’s likely effect on global warming in its vote on Thursday. President Barack Obama said last month that the U.S. will no longer support building coalfired power plants abroad as part of an effort to curtail global greenhouse gas emissions. The bank says in a statement that the vote against the Vietnam project came after “careful environmental review” of the project’s expected greenhouse gas production. Environmental groups call the vote on the 1,200-megawatt plant the first test of whether the administration will follow through on Obama’s pledge, made as part of a wide-ranging call for action to reduce global warming.

Unemployment rates rise in most states Unemployment rates rose in 28 U.S. states last month, partly because more Americans started looking for work and not all of them found jobs. Unemployment rates fell in 11 states and were unchanged in another 11, the Labor Department said Thursday. Nationwide, hiring has picked up this year, but the unemployment rate rose in May to 7.6 per cent from 7.5 per cent in April and stayed the same last month. That’s because more people began job searches in May and June but not all of them found work. The government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively searching for work. A similar dynamic occurred at the state level. — The Associated Press

Judge says Trade Center owners cannot demand billions more INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR 9/11 ATTACKS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The owners of the World Trade Center cannot demand billions of dollars more in insurance money for the destruction caused by the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal judge decided Thursday. Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled after hearing testimony by economic experts for the trade centre owners and for the airlines linked to the planes that were hijacked in the attacks. The non-jury trial was held to decide whether the owners of the owners could collect more than the nearly $5 billion they’ve already received toward reconstruction. In ruling against developer Larry Silverstein and World Trade Center Properties, Hellerstein cited state laws that bar “windfalls and double recovery on the same loss.” The judge said that though he was ruling against the trade centre owners, they deserved credit for spearheading the recovery effort at the site. “You were dealt a very severe blow,” the judge said of the attack that turned the trade centre into an inferno. Since then, the developer’s workers have laboured to “create beauty out the ashes of the destruction,” he added.

The plaintiffs’ lawyers said they would appeal the decision. During the four-day proceeding, Silverstein’s attorneys had insisted that the aviation companies owed at least $3.5 billion for letting hijackers board planes that destroyed three skyscrapers on Sept. 11, 2001: the prominent twin towers, and 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building that caught fire after debris from one of the jet crashes pierced its facade. It collapsed hours later. Attorney Roger Podesta, speaking for companies including United Airlines Inc., US Airways Inc., American Airlines Inc. and its parent company, AMR Corp., had argued that making aviation companies pay would amount to double compensation. He said an $8.5 billion total recovery would be more than 2 ½ times the fair value of the buildings that fell. But attorney Richard Williamson, representing World Trade Center Properties, said damages from the attacks had totalled at least $7.2 billion. The trade centre owners say it has cost more than $7 billion to replace the twin towers and more than $1 billion to replace the third trade centre building that fell.

NEW YORK — Authorities in the United Kingdom have banned a Coca-Cola television ad because they say it can mislead viewers about how easy it is to burn off the calories in a Coke. The ad in question, a version of which has aired in the U.S., shows a variety of activities like dog walking, dancing and laughing that it says would burn off the “139 happy calories” in a single serving of the soft drink. But the Advertising Standards Authority, which regulates advertising in the U.K., says the ad doesn’t make clear enough that all of the activities need to be done in combination in order to burn 139 calories. It noted that some viewers who complained thought only one of the activities was needed. Coca-Cola representatives did not immediately return a request for comment. The world’s No. 1 beverage company has taken flack in recent years from public health advocates who say that the sugary drinks made by it and other companies cause obesity. The 30-second ad, first released in the U.S. in January, was part of efforts to combat that by showcasing Coke drinkers doing healthy activities. Coca-Cola also released two-minute ads in the U.S. and U.K. that lay out its record of providing drinks with fewer calories and noting that weight gain is the result of consuming too many calories of any kind — not just soda. While there also were complaints filed about that ad in the U.K., the regulators did not find that it mislead consumers and did not chose to ban it. Coca-Cola Co. shares slipped 5 cents to $40.79 in afternoon trading.

Bernanke says bank rules a fair price U.S. BANKS RESPONSIBLE FOR ‘ENORMOUS WASTE OF RESOURCES’ DURING 2008 CRISIS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Tougher regulations may mean less profit for banks. But Ben Bernanke says that’s a fair price to pay after the damage caused by the 2008 financial crisis. The Federal Reserve chairman told lawmakers Thursday that the crisis led to “an enormous waste of resources” and new rules proposed by the Fed and other regulators to safeguard the financial system are “well-justified on a cost-benefit basis.” “Unsafe practices by large financial institutions pose a risk not just to themselves but to the rest of society,” Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee. “In setting policy we should

look at the social cost and not just the cost to the firms.” Bernanke made the comments during his second appearance before Congress this week. He was presenting the Fed’s semiannual economic report, perhaps his last as Fed chairman. Many speculate he will not seek another term when his second four-year term ends in January. Much of the hearing focused on the Fed’s efforts to boost the economy. On that topic, Bernanke stuck with the message he delivered to the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday, saying any change in the Fed’s low interest rate policies will depend on the job market’s health and inflation. But lawmakers also pressed him on rules that the Fed and other regulators are mulling in

response to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The crisis triggered a recession that put millions of Americans out of work, pushed the unemployment rate to 10 per cent, sent home values plummeting and edged millions of Americans toward foreclosure. The economy is still struggling four years after the recession officially ended. Growth remains tepid, wages are barely keeping pace with inflation and unemployment rate is a still-high 7.6 per cent. The banks argue that requirements to hold larger capital reserves and higher ratios of equity to loans can constrain them from lending. They also say such rules could put U.S. banks at disadvantage against their competi-

tors in other countries. But lawmakers appeared less sympathetic to such complaints, particularly after seeing big second-quarter profits reported this week by Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo. “It’s no surprise that megabanks are doing quite well, yet they continue to claim that .... regulations are killing them,” said Sen. Sherrod Brown, DOhio. Brown asked Bernanke if smaller bonuses and fewer dividends are a fair price to pay for a safer financial system. Bernanke said the first concern should be how those regulations affect lending.

Some creditors were asked to take about 10 cents on the dollar of what the city owed them. Underfunded pension claims would have received less than the 10 cents on the dollar under that plan. Orr’s team of financial experts said that proposal was Detroit’s one shot to permanently fix its fiscal problems. The team said Detroit was defaulting on about $2.5 billion in unsecured debt to “conserve cash” for police, fire and other services. “Despite Mr. Orr’s best efforts, he has been unable to reach a restructuring plan with the city’s creditors,” the governor wrote. “I therefore agree that the only feasible path to a stable and solid Detroit is to file for bankruptcy protection.” Detroit’s budget deficit is believed to be more than $380 million. Orr has said long-term debt was more than $14 billion and could be between $17 billion and $20 billion.

LENDING: Banks could handle costs But he agreed that banks could handle the costs. “Given the enormous cost of the crisis, that strong measures to prevent (a) repeat are obviously welljustified on a cost-benefit basis,” he said. Bernanke didn’t stray from his comments earlier in the week on the Fed’s interest rate polices, which have spurred a stock market rally and encouraged more borrowing and spending. Bernanke repeated his position that there is no “preset course” for the Fed’s $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, he said. Any change will depend on the economy’s performance. And he said that the Fed could hold its benchmark short-term interest rate near zero even after unemployment falls below 6.5 per cent. One reason the Fed might consider keeping the rate near zero longer is if inflation fails to move closer to the Fed’s 2 per cent target rate. Another would be if the decline in unemployment is caused by people leaving the workforce. The government counts people as unemployed only if they are actively looking for a job. At one point in the hearing, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., prodded Bernanke to evaluate the job Congress has done to support the economy. Corker said Congress has grown too dependent on the Fed’s efforts to drive growth, instead of taking action to help. Bernanke offered measured criticism. The Fed has shouldered “an awful lot of the burden” to drive economic growth, he said. He and other Fed officials would have been very happy to “share that burden” with Congress. Instead, he said lawmakers have spent too much energy on implementing tax increases and spending cuts when the economy was growing only modestly. Those actions could end up reducing economic growth by 1.5 percentage points this year. But Bernanke said it wasn’t the Fed’s role to force the issue. “I don’t think it’s my place or the Federal Reserve’s place to try to force Congress to come to any particular outcome,” Bernanke said. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., agreed with Corker that Congress should have done more. “We have let you down,” he told Bernanke. “The kindergarten of Congress has let you down by not doing the things to create confidence in the business community.”

PLEASANTON, Calif. — Grocery store chain Safeway Inc. said Thursday its profit fell in the second quarter, partly on a tax charge related to a deal to sell its Canadian operations. But the grocer’s adjusted results topped Wall Street expectations, and shares rose in morning trading. Safeway said in June it would sell its supermarket operations in Canada to food retailer Sobeys for 5.8 billion Canadian dollars ($5.7 billion). That followed its spinoff of its Companies of local interest not available today MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Strong economic data and solid bank earnings from the United States helped push the Toronto stock market higher Thursday. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 60.08 points to 12,628.85, led by gains in energy stocks and financials, as the Toronto market advanced for three of the past four sessions. The Canadian dollar was ahead 0.36 of a cent to 96.38 cents US. It slid almost half a U.S. cent Wednesday after the Bank of Canada said it was in no hurry to raise its key interest rate from one per cent, where it has been for almost three years. U.S. indexes were higher and the Dow industrials and S&P 500 closed at record highs as investment bank Morgan Stanley beat expectations and a major manufacturing index came in much better than expected. The Dow Jones industrials moved 78.02 points higher to 15,548.54, the Nasdaq was up 1.28 points to 3,611.28 and the S&P 500 index gained 8.46 points to 1,689.37. The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing survey in July surged to its highest level in more than three years, coming in at 19.8, up from 12.5 in June. The results were much higher than the reading of 10 that economists had expected. Also, the New York-based Conference Board said it’s leading economic index was unchanged in June. It reported that the economy is seeing “positive but moderate” growth, and continued expansion is expected this year. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley earned $898 million after excluding the benefit of an accounting gain, a leap from $337 million a year earlier. Earnings ex-items were 45 cents a share, two cents better than expectations and its shares were ahead per cent 4.37 per cent. On Thursday, advancers were led by a 1.34 per cent rise in the financials sector. Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC) was ahead 17 cents to $18.25 after hitting a new 52-week high of $18.36. Two of Canada’s biggest banks also racked up record highs. Royal Bank (TSX:RY) was up 98 cents to $64.78, 29 cents above its previous high on Feb. 29. TD Bank (TSX:TD) rose $1.32 to $87.48. Its previous record closing price was $86.40 on March 30, 2011. The energy sector gained 0.76 per cent as benchmark crude for August delivery was up $1.56 at $108.04 a barrel on the New York Mercantile

U.S. crude inventories fell by 6.9 million barrels last week, bringing the three-week decline to 27.1 million barrels. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) was up 55 cents to $33.92. The TSX also continued to benefit from traders buying up mining stocks that have been beaten up this year while commodity prices have suffered from a slow global economic recovery. Gold prices have sunk recently on speculation as to when the Fed might start to ease up on its bond purchases.

Verizon still exploring possibility of entering Canada Verizon Wireless says it’s still eyeing the possibility of entering Canada’s wireless market. “We continue to explore and have discussions, but at this point it’s really just an exploratory exercise,” said Verizon’s chief financial officer Francis Shammo during a conference

call Thursday. The company said it sees ripe opportunity in Ontario and Quebec, the country’s most populated provinces, which are also adjacent to Verizon’s U.S. properties. Verizon is also interested in participating in a January spectrum auction for the 700-megahertz frequency. “It mirrors up exactly with what we launched here in the United States,” said Shammo.

However, he cautioned that Canada’s regulatory environment and rules around foreign takeovers could pose challenges. Ottawa recently began allowing foreign takeovers of telecom companies that have a 10 per cent or less share of the market. Verizon has reportedly been in talks to acquire startup carrier Mobilicity, and there are reports it has made an

Researchers say memory lapses may be earliest sign of dementia BOSTON — Memory problems that are often dismissed as a normal part of aging may not be so harmless after all. Noticing you have had a decline beyond the occasional misplaced car keys or forgotten name could be the very earliest sign of Alzheimer’s, several research teams are reporting. Doctors often regard people who complain that their memory is slipping as “the worried well,” but the new studies show they may well have reason to worry, said Maria Carrillo, a senior scientist at the Alzheimer’s Association. One study found that self-reported memory changes preceded broader mental decline by about six years. Another tied these changes to evidence on brain scans that dementia is setting in. “Maybe these people know something about themselves” that their doctors don’t, “and maybe we should pay attention to them,” said Dorene Rentz, a Massachusetts General Hospital psychologist. She helped run one of the studies, which were discussed Wednesday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Boston. About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type. It causes a slow decline in thinking and reasoning ability. Memory trouble that disrupts daily life is one symptom. Don’t panic, though: The researchers are not talking about “senior moments,” those small, temporary lapses most everyone has, said Creighton Phelps, a neuroscientist with the U.S. National Institute on Aging. They are talking about real memory loss, in which the information doesn’t come back to you later, not even when people remind you of what you forgot, he explained. A true decline is a change in your normal pattern. “You’re starting to forget things now that you normally didn’t — doctor appointments, luncheon engagements, the kids are coming over ... things that a year or two ago you wouldn’t,” said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Pati Hoffman, of Carol Stream, Ill., near Chicago, used to design menus and organize events for restaurants but began forgetting where she filed things in her computer. “I really just kind of started struggling. Something wasn’t right. I would have to bring my work home, spread it all over the floor, sort it and then try to get it done so that nobody at work would know I was having this difficulty,” she said. Driving to familiar places, “I would think, ’I know where I am, but I don’t know how to get out of here.”’ Two neurologists said it was just stress and anxiety, and one prescribed an antidepressant. A third finally diagnosed her with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease four years ago. She was 56. The new studies were on “subjective cognitive decline” — when people first notice they are having trouble, even if they test normal on mental ability tests: ● Richard Kryscio at the University of Kentucky led a study of 531 people, average age 73. Those who reported a change in memory or thinking abilities since their last doctor visit were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with dementia or mild cognitive impairment about six to nine years later. ● Researchers from the French government’s health agency and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston studied 3,861 nurses at least 70 years old who were asked about memory symptoms and peri-

odically tested for them later. About 900 of them carried a gene that raises their risk for dementia. Among the gene carriers, worry about a single memory symptom predicted verbal memory decline on tests over the next six years.

In the others without the gene, worry about three or more memory symptoms was linked to memory decline on tests. ● Rebecca Amariglio and other Harvard researchers found that complaints about memory decline matched how much sticky plaque re-

searchers saw on brain scans of 189 people 65 and older. The Alzheimer’s Association lists 10 warning signs of the disease: ● Memory changes that disrupt daily life. ● Challenges in planning or solving problems.

● Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. ● Confusion with time or place. ● Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. ● New problems with

words in speaking or writing. ● Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. ● Decreased or poor judgment. ● Withdrawal from work or social activities. ● Changes in mood and personality.

BY LINDA BARNARD ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES An animated tale of a feisty snail who dreams of putting the “go” in escargot with a run at the Indianapolis 500, Turbo probably won’t win the summer animations sweepstakes, but neither does it crash and burn. Theo the garden snail, voiced by Canada’s Ryan Reynolds, is an ambitious little crawler who strains and trains to break his 17-minute “speed” record on a three-foot-long racetrack. He’s even given himself an ambitious nickname to add inspiration: Turbo. Turbo is an outsider at The Plant (literally), a tomato patch where other snails are content to munch veggie spoils and leave sticky trails under the watchful stalked eyes of safety supervisor Chet (Paul Giamatti, in a bit of genius casting) who cautions about threats from crows above and a nasty tricycle-riding kid below. Turbo’s hero-worship of French Canadian egomaniac Indy champ Guy Gagné (Saturday Night Live’s Bill Hader, curiously sounding more like Antonio Banderas) borders on obsession. Chet, who disapproves of risks almost as much as he does fanciful dreams of glory, reminds his brother that he needs to keep his slimy foot on the ground and his head out of the clouds. A meet-up with a street racer’s nitrous oxide fuel tank magically transforms Turbo into a spiralshelled fireball. Finding himself far from The Plant, he teams up with fellow dreamer and Dos Bros Taco

food truck driver Tito (Michael Peña) and his fine field of street-smart racing snails. Tito has a dream-doubting sibling of his own, Angelo (Luis Guzmán), the other half of Dos Bros Tacos, which is struggling along with the other businesses at a rundown Van Nuys strip mall. But Tito knows he can take his spiral-shelled Rocky all the way to the Indy with the financial help of the mall’s ragtag bunch of business owners, voiced with hammy enthusiasm by Richard Jenkins, Michelle Rodriguez and Ken Jeong. There are several funny bits in the script by Toronto’s David Soren (writing along with Darren Lemke and Robert Siegel), who also directs. Ever wonder how snails applaud? You’ll get your answer here. The snail racers, headed by stern Whiplash (Samuel L. Jackson), is more a “collect all five!” cry for a kiddie meal product placement than memorable characters, although there is an amusing running gag with a corpulent snail who fancies himself the mysterious White Shadow (Michael Patrick Bell). Snoop Dog, Ben Schwartz and Maya Rudolph voice the rest of the wisecracking mollusc clan. The story has some obvious parallels with pre-

THE YEAR OF THE SNAIL Hollywood seems to be falling for snails this year with the molluscs getting a surprising amount of onscreen time. There’s even a fanciful drawing of a snail on the fridge in Adam Sandler’s Grown Ups 2, which opened July 12. Here’s a trio of 2013 summer films with snail stars: Turbo: The title character in the animated story of a little snail who dreams of entering the Indianapolis 500, plus a huge cast of supporting snails voiced by Paul Giamatti, Samuel L. Jackson, Snoop Dogg and Maya Rudolph among them. Monster’s University: A bit part that gets a big laugh: A determined snail student with a purple backpack groans: “I can’t be late for the first day!” and then goes nowhere fast. Epic: Chris O’Dowd voices Mub, a wisecracking snail who partners with Grub, a slug who fancies himself a ladies’ man (Aziz Ansari), and the pair but slither off w th the picture. wi vious animated flicks, most notably Disney’s Cars franchise, but Turbo doesn’t earn the same likability points as more fleshed-out characters like Lightning McQueen and lovable lug Mater. Turbo’s colourful trek to product placement-littered Indianapolis is as rote as it gets, but little viewers won’t care about predictability. And while the exciting track scenes — three-time Indy winner Dario Franchitti was the main racing consultant — will get audiences in the speedy groove initially, things do wear on a bit. Even though our story is about snails, must it take so long to get where we know it’s going?

RED 2 shows its age SEQUEL CAN’T MATCH THE LAUGHS AND HEART OF THE ORIGINAL, DESPITE A BIGGER CAST AND GLOBETROTTING SCOPE RED 2 Two stars (out of four) Rated: PG BY LINDA BARNARD ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES Helen Mirren still has a great pair of guns — and knows how to use them in the few scenes she gets — but much of the unexpected fun found in 2010’s RED has departed to make room for a bigger cast and globe-trotting scope with sequel RED 2. Morgan Freeman is gone and a new director (Galaxy Quest’s Dean Parisot, who knows a thing or two about reinterpreting genres) is in the driver’s seat for the next go-round with a cadre of quick-lipped current and former spies of the Retired, Extremely Dangerous squad who blend smarts, lethal skills and cool heads when the bullets fly. Based on characters from the DC Comics limited series, the clan is now down to Frank (Bruce Willis) and Marvin (John Malkovich). Only Frank is taking the “retired” part to heart, content to troll the aisles at Costco for deals on power washers with girlfriend Sarah (Weeds Mary-Louise Parker). She’s itching for a little more excitement in their

Seems there may be something to Marvin’s paranoid rantings, launching a confusing plot from returning writers Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber (Battleship) about a top-secret project dubbed Nightshade and a missing portable cold war nuclear device that a bunch of governments want to get their hands on. With various agents, including an icy-eyed American badass Jack Horton (Neal McDonough), convinced Frank is involved in Nightshade, the three go on the lam international style, hoping to find and disarm the device while saving their skins. Not that it’s going to be easy. Cucumber-cool Victoria (Mirren) pauses mid-assassination to warn

Frank from the other side of the pond that he has a price on his head and she’s been hired to do the deed by MI6. And she’s not the only one with Frank in her sights. Talk about overkill. Korean super-assassin Han (Byung-hun Lee, clearly added to skew to a younger audience) is also ready to take him out at the behest of the Americans. RED 2 moves at breakneck speed, barely stopping for passport stamps as it jets off to another international capital, yet it often feels tired and by the book, missing the heart of the original in ways that can’t be enlivened by any number of crazy lids on Marvin’s addled cranium.

Heppner to perform at RDSO gala BY ADVOCATE STAFF International operatic superstar Ben Heppner will join the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra for a special gala performance next March. Landing such a celebrated, Grammy Award-winning guest artist to perform at the March 26 fundraising gala at the Red Deer College Arts Centre is very exciting news for the RDSO’s executive-director Melody McKnight. She considers Heppner to Ben Heppner be one of the greatest heroic

tenors who have been seen and heard in generations. “This gala allows us to meet our patrons’ demands for more performances in our season, with an internationally acclaimed guest artist. It will also involve the entire orchestra in the gala for the first time,” stated McKnight in a release. Unlike previous RDSO galas, which have involved a dinner and auction format, the 7:30 p.m. event with Heppner will focus on his performance. The Canadian singer, who studied at the University of British Columbia and came to national attention after winning a CBC talent show in 1979, will perform operatic favourites with a large orchestra for the first half of the concert, then deliver a solo repertoire with a pianist for the second half. A pre-concert champagne reception and a postconcert dessert reception will be provided.

McKnight said the RDSO will no doubt go back to the dinner and auction format for future galas, but she believes patrons will enjoy the change in 2014. Heppner is known worldwide for his dramatic tenor voice, which has been unleashed on operatic stages and concert halls around the world. He has been praised for the beauty of his voice, his incisive musicianship and generosity with audiences. Heppner’s challenging repertoire includes everything from Wagner’s Tristan and Lohengrin, to Verdi’s Otello and Berlioz’s Aeneas. He won Grammy Awards in 1998 for his recording of Die Meistersinger and in 2001 for his recording of Les Troyens with the London Symphony Orchestra. Heppner fans might want to get a head start on reserving tickets, which are available now through the Black Knight Ticket Centre for $150 ($125 for RDSO season ticket holders).

Colville’s work reflected what it meant to be human BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Alex Colville will be remembered for his ability to tap into the human condition with the dab of a brush, reflecting both the tranquil and unsettling moments of life, members of the Canadian art community said Wednesday after hearing of the artist’s death. Colville’s work spoke a universal language that reflected what it meant to be human, said Sarah Fillmore, chief curator at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax. “The more you look at those paintings, the more they kind of unfold, and our own experiences become his experiences,” she said. “The best thing that art can do is help you to see yourself.” Colville died of a heart condition Tuesday in Wolfville, N.S. He was 92. His death drew tributes from artists and curators across the country who remembered Colville for his unyielding depictions of life’s everyday moments that others glossed over. “What Colville was probably tapping into was something about the human condition that he felt was absent from what he was seeing in most images around him,” said Crystal Mowry, senior curator at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery in Ontario. “I think it ties into a notion of not feeling as

though the artist’s job is to describe beauty all of the time. Perhaps the artist’s role is to really show us all sorts of different vantage points of what life is like. “Sometimes that’s anxiety, sometimes that’s beauty, sometimes that’s disgust, sometimes that’s sorrow.” Mowry said it was his ability to communicate moments rich with uncertainty and possibility that set Colville apart from other artists in his time. Fillmore, whose gallery features some of Colville’s work, said the distinguished painter will be remembered not only as an extraordinary artist, but also a gentleman. That was a sentiment echoed by Sue Melvin, the programming co-ordinator at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

Consider The Newsroom and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo as old war buddies, having shed blood on the same cultural battlefield last summer. Both shows are back again next week, but only one seems unscathed and completely sure of itself. When it debuted, Aaron Sorkin’s high-end and highly anticipated HBO drama was filled to bursting with seriousness and atonal verbiage, focused on the inner workings of a cable news network. This was the new, ace series that was supposed to give us so much to discuss on Monday mornings? Watching it take off was like sitting in the bleachers at a doomed air show; it quickly became the tragedy I didn’t want to talk about. The Newsroom’s problems, as aggregated from the drubbing it took: It was boring, it was smug, it was relentlessly preachy, it was weirdly sexist, it rang false, it was unfeeling. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo premiered six weeks later, and the reaction was even worse. Viewers, critics and idea-strapped pundits pounced on TLC’s reality series about Alana Thompson, a tyke pageant contestant from rural Georgia who lives with her parents, sisters and baby niece in what appears to be perfect “redneckognized” contentment. Alana (aka “Honey Boo Boo”) and her family were treated like catfish in a rusty barrel, an irresistibly easy target for not only critics of television but critics of modern American lifestyles. In the aggregate, the Thompson/Shannon family was slammed for being fat, stupid, slobbish, ill-mannered, too Southern and then not authentically Southern enough. (A typical online comment, from a Huffington Post reader: “What a sick country this is, physically and mentally.”) More than one person likened the show’s success to a harbinger for the apocalypse. While giving a lecture last fall about popular culture and the collapse of our zombie-fixated civilization, I, too, projected a slide of Alana, in one of her sassy poses, up on a giant screen to make my point. Big laughs. As a critic, I took shots at both The Newsroom and Honey Boo Boo, but I also stuck around to see what developed. I wanted The Newsroom to get better, and I wanted Honey Boo Boo to play itself out. A life spent parked in front of the television sometimes throws you a nice curve. The show you’re supposed to pay attention to has nothing to tell you, and the show that’s supposed to rot your brain actually turns it on. The show that’s supposed to be robust and sparky (in an NPR sort of way) just isn’t, and the show that gets everyone wagging their scoldy fingers (in an op-ed sort of way) is refreshingly jam-packed with opportunities for purposeful discussion. For all its topicality, for all its credentials and high production values, for all its well-intentioned desire to be spot-on about modern politics and society, The Newsroom doesn’t work. As revealed by the first four episodes of the second season (beginning Sunday night), even a tweaked Newsroom is a still pretty much a bore. And then, for all its cheapness and apparent vacuity, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (returning Wednesday night) gives us a million things to tell one another IN ALL CAPS.

BOOK REVIEW

Little known Heller story to be published in magazine a young black man, Jess Calgary, as the prime suspect. A white school teacher, identified as Carter, has the awful task of convincing Calgary that he should come into town for questioning. Almost Like Christmas is as bleak as any of Heller’s novels, but without the dark humour he would become famous for. Heller biographer Tracy Daugherty said that at the time Heller had yet to develop his own literary voice and was instead mimicking the style of magazine stories. “William Saroyan was a huge influence on Heller at the time — stories of Depression-era hardships, written in a hard-boiled style,” said Daugherty, whose Just One Catch: A Biography of Joseph Heller, came out in 2011. “The story’s lack of humour is very uncharacteristic of the Heller readers would come to know.” Heller, who died at age 76 in 1999, spent much of his life in or near his native New York City. Daugherty said that Heller trained for the military in South Carolina, but otherwise had little first-hand knowledge of the South and almost surely did not base Almost Like Christmas on any direct experience. Daugherty does find some personal elements in the story,

It is a about the stabbing of a Southern white, the town’s thirst for revenge and the black man who has resigned himself to blame. Written in the late 1940s or early ‘50s, after Heller had returned from World War II, the story has rarely been seen and offers a peak at the early fiction of one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. stupid, waxen look of a drunkard.” A window’s “coarse patterns of grime” reminds another character of “diseased tissue,” while the voice of a third man has a “shrill, whin-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS My Lunches With Orson: Conversations Between Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles by Peter Biskind Metropolitan Books Orson Welles would enter the trendy Los Angeles restaurant Ma Maison through the kitchen, thus avoiding being seen arriving by wheelchair. His girth as wide as his talent, the director of 1941’s Citizen Kane sat in a mammoth restaurant chair with his toy poodle, Kiki. Eager for almost any kind of work in the early 1980s, the one-time boy wonder behind the film regularly declared the greatest ever made had become a living symbol of how Hollywood could abandon its geniuses. For years, the writer and director Henry Jaglom joined Welles at Ma Maison nearly every week. He was Welles’ unofficial agent and representative, trying to get his friend’s movie projects off the ground. Over lunch, they discussed practically anything — Welles’ weight was out of bounds — and Welles offered seemingly unguarded observations, at times humorous and profane, in spite of the presence of a tape recorder. On actors: “English actors are more modest than Americans, because they’ve never had (“method” acting

teacher) Lee Strasberg to teach ’em that they know better than the director.” On gossip columnists Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper: “You don’t know the power those two cows had in this town! People opened the paper, ignoring Hitler and everything else, and turned right to Louella and Hedda.” On the Irish: “They hate themselves. I lived for years in Ireland. The majority of intelligent Irishmen dislike Irishmen, and they’re right.” Decades after Welles’ death in 1985, author Peter Biskind presents the transcripts from those recorded lunches. Welles appears uncensored — and it’s not a

pretty sight. Fascinating, amusing and eye-opening, to be sure, but My Lunches With Orson is yet more evidence that one of the wonderful minds of theatre and film was in a creative death spiral in his final years. Lightening up their chats are his tart appraisals of stars like Laurence Olivier (“seriously stupid”), Norma Shearer (“one of the most minimally talented ladies ever to appear on the silver screen”), Humphrey Bogart (“both a coward and a very bad fighter”), Spencer Tracy (“I hate him so ... he’s one of those bitchy Irishmen”) and Joan Fontaine (“just a plain old bad actor ... she’s got four readings, and two expressions, and

that’s it”). In a lean and lively essay, Biskind captures the essence of Welles and the conundrum posed by his artistic ups and downs. The star of this engaging book, as he was in nearly everything he did, remains Welles. Like Falstaff, a character he loved to play, he is witty and vain — and, in the end, a tragic figure.

NEW YORK — Before Joseph Heller satirized the madness of war in Catch-22, he told a serious tale about the tragedy of racism. Almost Like Christmas, to appear next week in Strand Magazine, is a grim short story about the stabbing of a Southern white, the town’s thirst for revenge and the black man who has resigned himself to blame. Written in the late 1940s or early ’50s, after Heller had returned from the Second World War, the story has rarely been seen and offers a peek at the early fiction of one of the 20th century’s most famous writers. “Heller was to a large extent a guy who saw through hypocrisy, greed, and the backward nature of a mob better than most writers — so it’s no wonder that he turned his pen to a racist mob in a small southern town,” said Andrew Gulli, managing editor of the Strand, a publication based in Birmingham, Mich., that has unearthed little known works by Mark Twain, Graham Greene and others. From the start, Almost Like Christmas is a portrait of a worn out community. One character has the “hopeless,

noting that Carter is a “flawed mentor,” perhaps inspired by Heller’s brother and father, “who never really helped him in the ways he needed, with his education and his ambitions.” Heller started writing Catch-22 in 1953 and the novel came out eight years later, not long before the Vietnam War would make the novel required reading in the 1960s and ’70s. Daugherty says she found evidence that Heller was working on a story based on his war service around the time he wrote Just Like Christmas. But editors advised him that the market for war fiction was already well served by such novels as Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead and James Jones’ From Here to Eternity. “So Heller set his war story aside and continued to imitate magazine writers for a while, doing things such as Almost Like Christmas, while feeling that he had not broken through to his best material,” Daugherty said. “Many years would pass before he’d return to his true calling, the war story — and in doing so he would change our culture’s idea of what a war story could be.”

Rowling rediscovered in new book GALBRAITH/ROWLING CREATES AN EXTRAVAGANT, ALIEN, FASCINATING WORLD FOR CHARACTERS TO EXPLORE IN THE CUCKOO’S CALLING

Robert Galbraith, who is really J.K. Rowling, caps his debut mystery novel, which is really her ninth book, by channeling Alfred, Lord Tennyson. “I am become a name,” thinks the private eye Cormoran Strike to himself when the case is solved, quoting Tennyson’s Ulysses. Strike is right — he is likely to become a “name,” especially now that the Sunday Times of London has unmasked his creator as the author of the stratospherically popular Harry Potter series. But what is Rowling up to, ending like that, with her main character musing about fame and “becoming” a name? Is it part of the act, a seemingly firsttime writer anticipating his literary success with a metagesture? Or is Rowling teasing us with this name business, since the name on the book jacket is yet another disguise? There’s something curious and fluid about the (often avian) names that keep cropping up in The Cuckoo’s Calling. Cormoran sounds like cormorant, the English seabird — appropriate given the Ulysses reference — but our hero also has an impressive collection of nicknames, including Pubehead and Stick. His sidekick-secretary Robin, whom he initially calls Sandra, occasionally styles herself Annabelle. Together they are investigating the death of supermodel Lula Landry, or Cuckoo, or Looly, the adopted daughter of the wealthy Bristow family who seems to have flung herself from a balcony — or was she pushed? You get the sense that, read correctly, all these names might unlock the book’s web of family allegiances, betrayals and enigmas. But they’re so slippery — a dropped syllable here, a switched consonant there. Identities are constantly mistaken or obscured. Is it important that Strike, the son of rock star Jonny Rokeby, goes by a different name? Maybe to Rowling, famously reclusive, unfathomably wealthy, hiding behind the nobody Galbraith. What’s certainly important is that Strike is large, hirsute, usually battered and rumpled, with a face like “a young Beethoven who had taken to boxing.” Like “Galbraith,” he’s ex-military, an army cop, and when he’s not downing immense quantities of beer or sleeping on a cot in his office, he’s wandering about lost in thought, arranging the novel’s blur of testimony into a coherent timeline. (One of the great pleasures of The Cuckoo’s Calling, as with most detective stories, is observing the gumshoe’s Aha! moments, without being told what they are.) Strike lost part of his leg serving in Afghanistan. His prosthetic isn’t the only thing he shares with Harry Potter’s Mad-Eye Moody, the gruff but kind inspector who signs on to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. (Strike’s got some Hagrid in him too, especially when he walks around with his shirt misbuttoned, and perhaps Rowling especially loves these oafish figures, who traipse through the brittle world of the rich like bulls in china shops.) Actually, putting together Harry Potter and The Cuckoo’s Calling, it’s possible to infer a J.K. Rowling hierarchy of jobs. At the top sits police work: Remember how Harry became an Auror — a kind of magical law enforcement officer, one of the most prestigious careers in wizardry — after graduating? In this book, Robin, who stumbles into the field by accident, serves as the author’s mouthpiece. “To prove, to solve, to catch, to protect: these were things worth doing; important and fascinating,” she reflects. Next in the hierarchy come the lower-to-middle class people making an honest living: bartenders, temps, assistants. Then come the addicts and the homeless.

Signed Galbraith copy of Rowling book could mean big money NEW YORK — Not many people owned a copy of The Cuckoo’s Calling before word leaked out over the weekend that author Robert Galbraith was, in fact, J.K. Rowling. But among those who did, a handful managed to get a signed edition. And that could mean a lot of money. Rowling spokeswoman Nicky Stonehill said that Rowling, the Harry Potter author, signed “a few copies” of her detective novel as “Robert Galbraith.” Wishing to keep her identity secret, Rowling made no promotional appearances for the book and published quietly in April. Stonehill declined to say how any reader obtained a signed copy. Bids for a signed first edition topped $3,000 on eBay by Tuesday evening. “Yes, those books will have value,” said Angel Webster of Bauman Rare Books in Manhattan. “The first edition is already a scarce commodity, and she only signed a handful of them under vague circumstances.” Webster added that it was too soon to know how much money a signed first edition might be worth. Signed first editions of the first Harry Potter book, published in 1997 in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, are worth thousands of dollars. Webster said the value of a signed Cuckoo’s Calling will depend on how well the novel ends up selling

and whether it becomes the first book of a series. The Cuckoo’s Calling received favourable reviews when it first came out but attracted little attention from the general public. It is now No. 1 on Amazon.com, and publisher Little, Brown and Company has commissioned a new printing of 300,000 copies. Sellers have been out of stock.

Then come the rich. (Especially the women, who are vapid, nasty, scheming, and Botoxed — “wealth-seeking missiles,” in one memorable phrase.) Then come the journalists. The Cuckoo’s Calling opens with press swarming around Lula’s apartment, poking their “long-snouted cameras” where they don’t belong. Later, Cormoran compares the flash of photography to the flare of an Afghani grenade. Princess Diana’s pursuit by the paps gets multiple references — and her exploitation continues when a tabloid-baiting fashion designer sticks her face on a T-shirt, “as a garish Mexican Madonna.” If a character expresses disdain for journalists, that’s code for readers to like him. The only thing more soulless than the desire for lucre, Rowling implies, is the grist that feeds these vultures: the desire for fame. Yet for all that, money and general fabulousness does for The Cuckoo’s Calling what magic did for Harry Potter, creating an extravagant, alien, fascinating world for its characters to explore. Sometimes, the comparison is even explicit: At one point, Strike notes “how very little Rochelle had told him about

Lula the person, as opposed to Lula the holder of the magic plastic cards that bought handbags, jackets and jewelry, and the necessary means by which Kieran appeared regularly, like a genie, to whisk Rochelle away from her hostel.” But where Harry Potter had to approach the underside of enchantment from an angle — its racist and classist dimension, as embodied by the “pureblooded” Malfoys — The Cuckoo’s Calling can be more direct. Relieved of the burden of allegory, it’s a lighter and less portentous read than the later Potter books. Having gone somewhat sour and querulous in 2012’s The Casual Vacancy, Rowling seems to have rediscovered her sense of fun. Katy Waldman is a Slate magazine book reviewer.

Obama weighs cancelling talks with Putin as relations worsen

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PATNA, India — Soon after they served the lunch they had prepared for dozens of children at a rural Indian school, the two cooks realized something was very wrong. The students started fainting. Within hours, they began dying. By the second day after that fateful meal, 23 children between the ages of 5 and 12 had died from eating food laced with insecticide and many others had fallen ill. Authorities discovered a container of insecticide in the school’s cooking area next to the vegetable oil and mustard oil, but it wasn’t yet known if that container was the source, according to Amarjeet Sinha, a top official in the state of Bihar, where the tragedy took place. Some officials have said it appeared that the rice had somehow been tainted with insecticide and might not have been properly washed before it was cooked. “It’s not a case of food poisoning. It’s a case of poison in food in a large quantity, going by the instant deaths,” Sinha said Thursday. More answers were expected Friday, when a forensic laboratory was to issue the results of its tests on the dead children, the food and the uncooked grain stored by the principal in her house, he said. Police were searching for the principal, who fled after the students started falling sick, Sinha said. The cooks, Manju Devi and Pano Devi, told The Associated Press that the principal controlled the food for the free daily lunch provided by the government at the school. On Tuesday morning, she gave them rice, potatoes, soy and other ingredients needed to prepare the meal and then went about her business. As the children ate, they started fainting, the cooks said. The two cooks were not spared either. Manju Devi, 30, ate some of the food and fainted. Her three children, ages 5, 8 and 13, fell ill as well. All were in stable condition Thursday. While Pano Devi, 35, didn’t eat the tainted food, her three children did. Two of them died and the third, a 4-year-old daughter, was in the hospital. “I will stop cooking at the school,” she said. “I am so horrified that I wouldn’t grieve more if my only surviving child died.” Sinha said one of the cooks told authorities that the cooking oil appeared different than usual, but the principal told her to use it anyway. Doctors believed the food contained an organophosphate used as an insecticide, he said. The free midday meal was served

INDIA SCHOOL DEATHS to the children Tuesday in Gandamal village in Masrakh block, 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Patna, the Bihar state capital. Some of the victims were buried Wednesday in front of the school building in protest. Those who survived the poison were unlikely to suffer from any serious aftereffects from the tainted food, said Patna Medical College hospital superintendent Amarkant Jha Amar. “There will be no remnant effects on them. “The effects of poisoning will be washed after a certain period of time from the tissues,” Amar said. Amar said Thursday that the postmortem reports on the children who died confirmed that insecticide was either in the food or cooking oil. He said authorities were waiting for lab results for more details on the chemicals. India’s midday meal plan is one of the world’s biggest school nutrition programs. State governments have the freedom to decide on menus and timings of the meals, depending on local conditions and availability of food rations. It was first introduced in the 1960s in southern India, where it was seen as an incentive for poor parents to send their children to school. Since then, the program has been replicated across the country, covering some 120 million schoolchildren. It’s part of an effort to address concerns about malnutrition, which the government says nearly half of all Indian children suffer from. Although there have been complaints about the quality of the food served and the lack of hygiene, the incident in Bihar appeared to be unprecedented for the massive food program. But with the country focused on the safety of the program Thursday, reports emerged that others had fallen ill across India. In the southern state of Tamil Nadu, at least 100 girls became sick, vomiting and fainting, after eating lunches made with contaminated eggs, the Press Trust of India reported. In Maharashtra, dozens of students fell ill after drinking contaminated water, media reported. In Bihar, the state director of the feeding program, R. Lakshamanan, told PTI that some students refused to eat the lunches Thursday in the wake of the tragedy. The national government announced it would set up a second committee to review the functioning of the meal program in addition to one that already monitors the program.

apartment on Leblon beach, one of the highest-rent neighbourhoods in the country. The protest, which drew about 600 people, degenerated into a chaotic scene of looting and destruction, with demonstrators smashing storefronts, defacing street signs and setting piles of garbage on fire. Police responded with water cannons and dozens of percussion grenades. Photos from the clashes, which stretched late into the night, showed police also used tear gas, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether the quantities deployed were as large as in previous demonstrations.
