THE GREATEST WATER GUN BATTLE EVER
Crime rate drops FALLS TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1972 BY TERRY PEDWELL THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canada’s police services are once again reporting fewer crimes, a continuing trend that has cut the national crime rate to its lowest level since 1972. But the latest figures from CITY CRIME STATS Statistics Can- ON THE DECLINE A2 ada don’t mean the job of fighting crime is done, says Peter MacKay, who took on his role as federal justice minister one week ago. The police-reported crime rate fell by three per cent in 2012 compared with the previous year, Statistics Canada reported Thursday. The severity of crimes committed was also down by three per cent in 2012, according to StatsCan’s Crime Severity Index (CSI). Police-reported crime has been on a steady decline since peaking in 1991. Police services reported nearly two million incidents involving criminal activity in 2012, roughly 36,000 fewer than in the previous year. “The police-reported crime rate has followed a downward trend, and, in 2012, reached its lowest level since 1972,� Statistics Canada said in its latest report.

The Greatest Water Gun Battle Ever didn’t quite live up to its name Thursday at Sylvan Lake but those who did participate did seem to be having a fun time. Amanda Siminoski and her daughter Kailee of Devon shown here got in to the spirit of the event soaking each other and all others who came in to range of their water guns. The event was sponsored by the Town of Sylvan Lake and held at Centennial Park on Lakeshore Drive Thursday afternoon.
Corn maze pays tribute to cycling race BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF
TOUR OF ALBERTA
A design paying tribute to the Tour of Alberta is in the works for the Lacombe Corn Maze. George Berry, local organizing chairman of the Tour of Alberta, confirmed the owners of the Lacombe Corn Maze are planning to have the tour’s logo ready just in time for the inaugural professional cycling race in September. Some of the world’s top cyclists will race on Alberta roads from Sept. 3 to 8. The race starts in Edmonton and fin-
ishes in Calgary. Red Deer is the finishing community for the second stage of the six-staged race. Berry said excitement for the race is building throughout the cycling community and around Alberta. A guide to stages and the communities in the Tour of Alberta is featured in the August/September issue of Canadian Cycling Magazine. The next two sponsors who sign up for a $5,000 sponsorship Tour of Alberta package could potentially have
the opportunity to ride in a team car or a support vehicle for the entire second stage. “We’ll give them transportation up to Devon so they don’t have to worry about that,� said Berry. “They will hop in a team car and be right in the centre of the action.� Details are still being worked out for the festival on Ross Street in Red Deer and the logistics. Berry expects everything to kick into high gear in the 30 days before the race. “We’re only 42 days away,� said Berry.

Good Samaritan buys 500 coffees at Easthill Centre Tim Hortons BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI AND THE CANADIAN PRESS ADVOCATE STAFF Tim Hortons at Easthill Centre was one of three stores in Canada where people were treated to free coffee in a wave of customer copycat generosity on Thursday. At about 9:30 a.m., a man came into the Tim Hortons and paid for 500 cups of coffee for fellow customers — for a total of $850. The extreme Good Samaritan coffee trend previously struck a Tim Hortons in Edmonton on Monday, Calgary on Wednesday, and both Ottawa and Edmonton on Thursday. “He wanted to do the same,� said manager Katie Evans who did not recognize the anonymous coffee donor. She did not know if he was from Red Deer. Free coffee was given out from 10

a.m. to about 1 p.m. both at the drivethrough and in the store. “It was pretty awesome to see everyone’s expressions. Everyone was very happy,� Evans said. She has worked for Tim Hortons for five years and regularly sees customers pay for strangers’ coffees. “Usually you get pay-it-forward in the drive-through, but it only lasts about 10 cars.� As news spread on social media, some skeptics speculated that the donations were part of an elaborate publicity stunt by the coffee chain. But Tim Hortons spokeswoman Michelle Robichaud said that’s not the case. “As brilliant as this is I can assure you that Tim Hortons has nothing to do with the Good Samaritans that have been purchasing coffees across the country,� she said.

People protest against oil spill outside Calgary-based corporation CALGARY — A few dozen people gathered outside the headquarters of a Calgary-based oilsands company to protest spills in northeastern Alberta. The protesters say they want answers from Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. Earlier this month Alberta’s energy regulator told the corporation to stop injecting steam into the ground near Cold Lake after a series of four spills. Members of the Beaver Lake Cree and Cold Lake First Nations area say they aren’t getting enough information about what happened.
Investigation concludes officers justified in immigrant’s shooting LETHBRIDGE — An investigation has concluded that the actions of two southern Alberta police officers who shot and killed an immigrant from Bhutan were justified. A review by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) says the man posed a threat when he advanced on the Lethbridge Regional Police Service officers with a knife. ASIRT declined to name the man. Friends have identified him as Deu Raj Puri, 26.
City crime statistics on the decline
CRIME: Sask. reported biggest decline “The CSI was down 28 per cent over the 10 years since 2002.” Although there has been a trend toward a reduced crime rate and fewer severe crimes, spending on criminal justice continues to rise. Also, the Conservatives have introduced at least 30 bills designed to crack down on crime since Prime Minister Stephen Harper won power in 2006. Per capita spending on criminal justice — including federal and provincial jails, court costs and policing — climbed 23 per cent over the last decade, the parliamentary budget office reported in March. The report put the price tag at $20.3 billion in 2011-12, with roughly three-quarters of that total carried by the provinces and municipalities. MacKay, in Edmonton on Thursday meeting with victims of crime, said the government has been putting more resources toward improving efficiency in the justice system, which he said would prevent delays that can result in charges being stayed. The government also wants to improve laws to protect victims, MacKay said, pointing to an announcement Wednesday in British Columbia for child advocacy centres, which he said provided more support for victim advocacy and victim support services. “We have, in fact, I believe, improved the way in which the system is functioning to some degree, but I don’t believe we should stop ever trying to improve our justice system,” MacKay said. “I think it is so fundamental to the functioning of our society that we have to continually strive for improvement.” MacKay is expected to introduce a crime victims’ bill later this year. Both the police-reported crime rate and the CSI fell in most provinces last year, although rates increased in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and the territories. Saskatchewan reported the biggest decline in its crime rate, but still had the highest rate and CSI among the provinces. Crime rates, and the severity of crimes as in previous years, were higher in the territories and the western provinces. Ontario police services reported the lowest crime rate and CSI. Having reported a seven per cent drop in its police-reported crime rate in 2012, Toronto, Canada’s biggest city, can boast the lowest rate among the country’s census metropolitan areas for the sixth consecutive year. Quebec City had the second-lowest crime rate while also recording the lowest CSI.

Crime continues to decline in Red Deer, according to city statistics. Statistics released on Thursday show a continued decrease in persons and property crimes and overall Criminal Code offences in the second quarter of 2013. The city has seen 16.3 per cent fewer total persons crimes year to date, which includes everything from offences such as homicide, robbery and assault. Total property crimes, which includes offences like break and enter, arson and fraud, are also down 12.6 per cent, year to date. However there were some areas where the numbers were up. Homicides were the same as last year’s to date, with two so far in each year. But under the category of offences related to death, there were two cases up to this time last year, but five so far in total this year. Robberies were at 84 by the end of the second quarter last year, but down to 56 so far this year. Sexual assaults were 56 in 2012, compared with 47 this year. Assaults were also down, from 1,027 to 809. Break and enters went from 563 to date in 2012, to 418 this year so far. Arson cases are up from 15 to 21. “We saw improvements in the first quarter of this year over the same time last year, and we continue to see a positive downward trend with fewer persons crimes, property crimes and overall Criminal Code offences being reported again in the second quarter,” said city manager Craig Curtis. Overall, the city saw 11.8 per cent fewer Criminal Code offences year to date. “Red Deer is a safe community but there is always room to improve, and with a continued focus on community safety, crime prevention and policing, we aim to do just that,” said Mayor Morris Flewwelling. Crime statistics are released on a quarterly basis in April, July, October and January.
CYCLING: Major event Liz Taylor, executive director of Tourism Red Deer, said the advertising value from the broadcast that the City of Red Deer will receive from this international event is estimated to amount more than $2 million of local exposure. There’s also the impact from booking of the hotel rooms, restaurants and other things during the day of the stage. “It’s one more example that Red Deer can host a major event like this,” said Taylor. “In the last month, I’ve had four phone calls of people looking at Red Deer for major, major events . . . Red Deer is on the radar to host major events. I have never had those calls before. We won’t get them all but they are certainly looking at Red Deer.”

The first donation happened on Monday, when a young man in his mid-to-late 20s walked into Tim Hortons in downtown Edmonton and ordered a large double-double and a Boston cream doughnut. And large coffees for the next 500 customers. The man paid the $859 bill with his debit card and quickly left. Customers of a Tim Hortons in Calgary were the recipients of free coffee on Wednesday as another java benefactor told a cashier they would buy the next 500 cups of joe. On Thursday morning a soon-to-retire city bus supervisor named Bob purchased morning coffee for 500 at a Tim Hortons in Ottawa, Robichaud said. Later the gesture was mirrored again in Red Deer, and a third time hours later at a Tim Hortons kiosk in the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. Robichaud believes the latter charitable acts were all inspired by the first donation in Edmonton. “We are thrilled that this first very generous act of kindness in Edmonton has created somewhat of a snowball effect across the country,” she said. “If ever there was going to be a copycat this is the one you would want.” Michael Nilsen from the Association of Fundraising Professionals, a group that creates philanthropic guidelines, said that the idea of being charitable can be very contagious. “We often find that people are inspired in some way by what other people do and want to get involved,” said Nilsen. “There is that unifying element to philanthropy.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Deadline for input on Identity project approaching soon BY ADVOCATE STAFF Red Deer’s unique identity is beginning to be officially defined. But residents have only one week left to provide input to the City of Red Deer on just what is really special about this community of almost 98,000 souls. Residents can provide their input to questions at www.reddeer.ca/identity or www.UncoverRedDeer. com until July 31, as part of the project that aims to uncover Red Deer’s authentic identity and build a community story. “Some common themes are definitely starting to emerge as to what makes Red Deer tick,” said Julia Harvie-Shemko, director of Communications and Strategic Planning. “The questions have made Red Deerians stop and think about what they truly like about where they live, and what makes us unique.

been collected by the Identity team, who have used iPads to ask quick questions at several events since consultation began in early April. After July 31, the responses will be compiled and analyzed for common threads about Red Deer’s character, and a narrative — or community story — will be written. A second, “validating” phase will see the identity team revisit the public to confirm the accuracy of what was heard. The final, “revealing” phase will publicly share Red Deer’s authentic community story. “It’s important we hear from as many people as possible,” said Harvie-Shemko. “Our city has a diverse population, and as we connect with more members of the community, we get a better sense of Red Deer’s personality and a clearer picture of what we all value.” For more information on the Identity project or to fill out the survey, visit www.reddeer.ca/identity or www.UncoverRedDeer.com.
EDMONTON — Police in Edmonton are looking for a website owner who faces charges over a grisly video at the centre of the Luka Magnotta murder case. Police say they have issued a warrant for the arrest of Mark Marek on a charge of breaching his bail conditions. They are asking the public to help locate Marek, who was released from the Edmonton Remand Centre after being granted bail on July 18. He is charged with one count of corrupting morals for allegedly posting a video from Magnotta while knowing it depicted a real killing. The video allegedly showed the killing and dismemberment of Chinese university student Jun Lin in Montreal. Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to murder and is to stand trial in September 2014. At Marek’s bail hearing, the Crown opposed his release, pointing out he had no Edmonton address and had made it clear to police that he planned to go back to his native Slovakia. Police had said he had been living out of his car since he returned to the city.
Queen’s Bench. Dustin Piper, 25, was arrested by Airdrie RCMP investigating the death of a man reported missing by a co-worker. Police were called when Garland Curtis, 40, did not show up for work. Police found his body while checking his home in Airdrie. Piper remains in custody pending the outcome of a preliminary hearing that has yet to be scheduled. A hearing had been set for June 20, but did not go ahead. Preliminary hearings may be requested to test the strength of the Crown’s case against an accused person.
Simon Renouf of Edmonton, is to return to court on Aug. 8 to confirm those dates. A shorter preliminary hearing will also be scheduled for Monroe-Bowes, who was released earlier on a $5,000 recognizance with no cash deposit. Monroe-Bowes also attended court on Thursday, seeking changes in his release conditions so he can attend work.
Men arrested on drug and gang-related offences plead not guilty Pleas of not guilty have been entered for two Red Deer man arrested on drug and gang-related offences, including allegations that they were selling drugs for the benefit of an organized crime group. Jordan Michael Hoelscher, 31, and Croft MonroeBowes, 34, were among six people arrested in late December during a series of raids at three different homes in Red Deer. Hoelscher appeared in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday via closed-circuit TV from the Red Deer Remand Centre. He has chosen to be tried by judge alone in the Court of Queen’s Bench, with a preliminary hearing to be held beforehand. The preliminary hearing, expected to take two weeks, has been tentatively set for June of next year. Hoelscher’s lawyer,

Robbery, kidnapping trial dates to be set in two weeks Trial dates will be addressed in two more weeks for a Red Deer man who pleaded not guilty earlier on to a string of violent offences starting with reports of an armed robbery outside a Parke Avenue apartment building in Red Deer. David James Kertesz, 27, remains in custody at Red Deer Remand Centre, awaiting trial on charges including kidnapping, forcible confinement, extortion, and armed robbery affecting three different alleged victims. Kertesz was among the people arrested after a standoff with city RCMP at a house on Halman Crescent on May 14. The charges against him have been replaced with a new set of charges, in which the alleged weapon has been altered to an imitation firearm. Kertesz was scheduled for a bail hearing today. However, that hearing has been adjourned to Friday, Aug. 9, when he is to be arraigned in Court of Queen’s Bench for trial by judge alone. Also charged in connection with the May 14 incident is Garnet Colby Mcinnes, 22, who is scheduled for a bail hearing today.

Time to tackle the rooming-house paradox 30,000 CANADIANS ARE WITHOUT HOMES BY JINO DISTASIO SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE On any given night thousands of Canadians languish in ramshackle housing, line up at shelters or sleep in our streets and alleyways. This situation is not limited to our big cities: it is estimated that, on any given day, 30,000 Canadians are without homes. How can it be that in such a prosperous country we continue to struggle to house those most in need? How, too, can we have a contest in Winnipeg that asks folks to name and photograph the worst place to live? Not surprisingly, ‘the winners’ were rooming houses located in the inner city. Sadly, this same contest could be replicated across the country with similar ‘winners’ easily identified in every major Canadian city. Is there a simple solution to such poor quality housing? Perhaps we could start by shutting down as many of these godforsaken places as we can. But, as others have pointed out, closing rooming houses and other marginal forms of shelter -
even the poorest quality ones - might cause more harm than good. Here’s why: For more than a decade the University of Winnipeg’s Institute of Urban Studies undertook several projects exploring rooming houses and singleroom-occupancy hotels (SROs). What we found was an industry rife with contradiction, comprised of Samaritans and villains willing to help or exploit. In an initial estimate, we contended that there are as many as 10,000 people comprising the hidden homeless population of Winnipeg alone. As well, it is conservatively estimated that there are 50,000 Canadians who are part of the “hidden homeless” population on any given night. Many of these ‘hidden homeless’ live in rooming houses, SROs or ‘sofasurfed’ from temporary place to place. How did Canada get here? We allowed our affordable housing stock to spiral downward in two fundamental ways. First, the federal government significantly diminished its role in the provision of and funding for affordable housing, off-loading the responsibility to the provinces, which have not been able to build enough units. Second, most provinces across the
country allowed what remained of affordable housing to decline, leaving many to scramble for the worst of the worst, including rooming houses and SROs. To tackle the problem of poor-quality housing, a practical solution would be for provinces to better enforce building codes, occupancy standards and the licensing of rooming houses and SROs, with the mandate to close the worst offenders. This swift action would effectively shut many down. However, in doing so we would have to realize that we would pay a hefty price for using this heavy-handed approach, as many of our ‘hidden homeless’ would be plunged into crisis, ending up on the streets and putting increased pressure on our already burdened shelters. Herein lays the paradox. While we know it is critical to have all Canadians living in safe, affordable housing, closing thousands of rooms would put massive pressure on an already strained system. Yet perhaps this course of action is exactly what is needed, since the excuse of having no alternatives is simply not good enough any longer. Perhaps such action would not only provoke a strong tri-level government reaction, but they would be forced
to find alternatives, including building new affordable housing units and offering the right supports to keep people housed. In work by the At Home Chez Soi project over four years, we learned much about keeping people securely housed. The solution was never about simply providing housing; it was also about creating a strong network of individualized supports that included mental health, addictions, employment and quality of life. This ensured the right resources were made available to keep people stably housed. The Housing First approach used in the project provides strong evidence that supports along with housing go a long way to changing lives — and saving the system money in the long run. As we move forward, we have to realize that we need to invest in all of our citizens. We have to work hard to make available the right types of resources and services to help those in need find their own pathway to success. But success must include a safe and secure home. Jino Distasio is an expert advisor with EvidenceNetwork.ca and Director of the Institute of Urban Studies, and co-principal investigator for the Winnipeg site of the At Home Chez SoiProject.

Being the royal baby has its share of royal pitfalls BY HANNA ROSIN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE You’re a boy! Photographers are no doubt right now bribing your parents for the privilege of being the first to cram their zoom lens between the bars of your crib. You’re not even hours old yet and you are a bigger celebrity than your rivals Suri, Blue Ivy and North West. Life seems sweeter than breast milk, softer than that toy kangaroo the former Australian prime minister knitted for you. And it will stay that way until you turn, say eight or none, depending on how precocious you are, and you realize what a royal bummer it is to grow up as the royal heir. I herewith appoint myself the cranky commoner who will preview the five worst things about being you. 1. Heirdom is a burden Being told at a very young age that you will be king or queen of a major European country seems unequivocally awesome to everyone but the person hearing the news. When she was two years old, Elizabeth was described by Winston Churchill as a “character. She has an air of reflectiveness astonishing in an infant.” Elizabeth was, in other words, born to be queen. Who knows how she actually reflected when she learned of her future? In 1969 a 20-year-old Prince Charles was asked when he first realized that he was heir to the throne. “I didn’t suddenly wake up in my pram and say, ‘Yippee!’ “ he said. “It’s something that dawns on you with the most ghastly inexorable sense . . .” His son Harry’s confusion on this

lot in life was meticulously recorded by the press: He once told a boy at his kindergarten, “Mummy doesn’t go to Sainsbury’s — we have our own farm.” And when children asked why there was a man following him around, he said: “That’s my policeman.” 2. Your parents are very busy Gone are the days when royal babies were raised entirely by staff, and saw their parents mostly for official viewings. The Duke of Windsor recalled in his memoir that his nanny used to bring him into the drawing room to spend an hour with his parents King George V and Queen Mary, and pinch him first because she didn’t like him and wanted his parents to think of him as a cry baby. In the movie The King’s Speech, this incident was transposed to his brother. Since Prince Charles — the first male royal present at a birthing — and Diana, the expectation is that royals will raise their children just like the rest of us. Diana took William on a monthlong tour of Australia and New Zealand when he was a year old because she did not want to be away from him, and she always insisted on taking William and Harry to amusement parks and fast-food restaurants because that’s what regular kids do. William and Kate have yet to hire a nanny, and publicly at least, they are approaching the endeavor like any new parents would; she is talking about breast-feeding, he about ‘long, sleepless nights.’ But who are we kidding? It took Diana only a little while to realize that she wasn’t just another modern working mother but also one
of the most sought after working mothers in the world. Now that the baby is born, Kate too will realize that being mother of the heir to the throne is a big step up from being the future king’s wife; you’re just way too busy to play hide the kangaroo every night. Sorry, kid. 3. Your name might not be your name When naming the future king or queen one apparently has to choose several names, all from a pretty narrow list, because the name should be from a former royal and also have no strong negative connotations. It’s all very fraught and weighted with meaning, and then as soon as he talks the child will probably totally disregard the name anyway and choose another random boring one from the list. Prince Harry’s real name is Henry Charles Albert David. Also, there is the business of the last name. It’s optional, which complicates, say, kindergarten roll call. 4. You’re a celebrity As they waited for you to be born, the paparazzi were polite, issuing hourly updates from a Spice Girl’s Twitter feed and exhibiting uncharacteristic patience. But this won’t last. What they are really salivating for is a lifetime of pot-smoking and Nazicostume parties — for that moment you say something as memorable to your paramour as, “I want to be reincarnated as a tampon and live inside your trousers forever.” When William went to boarding school at 13, the royal family made a deal with the press that they would

not hound him and accept publicity photos, arguing that “Prince William is not an institution; nor a soap star; nor a football hero. He is a boy.” But that kind of lofty indignation does not work in the age of social media. Your roommate is just as likely to put up an embarrassing photo of you as the Daily Mail is. The best you can hope for is that your parents will be as good as Beyoncé and Jay Z are at pre-empting the press, putting up their own fauxrevealing pics of you and teaching you how to do the same. 5. You are going to boarding school The royal family has moved beyond the days when all the girls stayed home with tutors and the boys went to Gordonstoun in Scotland, which in Charles’ telling was a lot like Abu Ghraib, with boys punching you in your sleep, stealing your letters, forcing you to take walks in the rain — a place where “One felt in a way rather like a medieval peasant during the Hundred Years War,” said novelist William Boyd, a classmate of Charles. William and Harry got to go to Eton, where they were much happier but definitely developed the worst of their reputations, particularly Harry. According to a biographer, it was there he founded Club H, a drink and drugs den that earned him the nickname Hash Harry. Boarding school is fun for some kids and the ruination of others, so good luck with that!

Police raid MMA Railway office
CHRONOLOGY The train disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que., ushered in n a time of local tragedy and brought rail transport in the e country under scrutiny. Here is a timeline of key moments since the derail-ment: July 6: An unattended train with five locomotives and d 72 tank cars carrying crude oil rolls down an incline be-fore coming off the tracks in Lac-Megantic, Que. The de-railment caused a series of explosions that sent fireballss up into the air. The downtown core was eviscerated,, with a bustling bar, the library, and a cherished water-side park among the dozens of structures destroyed. July 7: Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Lac-Megantic, describing the area as a war zone and of-fering federal relief to rebuild the town. Police officiallyy raised the death toll to five while estimating at least 40 0 people were still unaccounted for. Train operator Mon-treal, Maine and Atlantic Railway issued a statementt saying the locomotive was shut down after the depar-ture of the engineer and this may have resulted in the e release of air brakes on the locomotive that was holding g the train in place. July 8: The Federal Transportation Safety Board d and Quebec provincial police announced they would d separately investigate the derailment. Firefighters from m nearby Nantes said they had been called to fight a fire e on board the train hours before it came off the trackss in Lac-Megantic. The rail company suggested the deci-sion to shut off the locomotive to put out the fire mightt have disabled the brakes, but the fire chief said shutting g the engine off was standard procedure dictated by the e railway. July 9: Quebec police announced they were treat-ing the derailment site as a crime scene and floated the e possibility of laying criminal negligence charges. July 10: Montreal, Maine and Atlantic chairman n Edward Burkhardt visited Lac-Megantic, where he wass greeted by angry hecklers blaming him and his com-pany for the disaster. He said the engineer in charge off the train had been suspended. July 11: Marois made an official visit to the town n as her municipal counterpart lashed out at rail officials.. Lac-Megantic mayor Colette Roy-Laroche spoke out in n criticism of Burkhardt, alleging he cancelled a planned d meeting with her during his visit to the town. July 12: The Transportation Safety Board described d the Lac-Megantic disaster as potentially the worst in n Canadian history, adding it would take months to inves-tigate. Residents held a candlelight vigil in town. July 19: The Transportation Safety Board took the e unusual step of recommending two immediate changess to rail safety despite the fact that its investigation is nott over. The board recommended that dangerous goodss should not be left unattended on a main track and also o that rail equipment be properly secured. July 22: The federal government matched provinciall aid efforts by announcing a $60 million fund to help Lac-Megantic rebuild. In the U.S., a wrongful-death lawsuitt was filed in an Illinois court against MMA and its parentt company, Burkhardt and several U.S. petroleum com-panies linked to the disaster. An Illinois lawyer, who filed d the court documents on behalf of the family of a Lac-Megantic man killed by the derailment, said he expectss to present many more similar suits that could seek mil-lions in damages from the defendants. July 23: Transport Canada issued new safety direc-tives that took effect immediately. The new rules stated d that at least two crew members must work trains thatt carry dangerous goods. In addition, no locomotive at-tached to one or more loaded tank cars transporting g dangerous materials can be left unattended on a main n track. July 25: Police began conducting an investigation att an MMA office in Farnham, Que. but declined to discusss details. July 27: Lac-Megantic is scheduled to hold a memo-r al ceremony for the 47 victims of the disaster. ri
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Quebec provincial police have raided an office belonging to the railway involved in the Lac-Megantic disaster, adding to a growing pile of legal concerns for the U.S. company. Investigators searched for clues Thursday inside the Farnham branch of Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway as part of their ongoing criminal probe into the deadly July 6 derailment. Farnham, a town between Montreal and Lac-Megantic, is also the home of Tom Harding, the engineer of the runaway train that smashed into Lac-Megantic and killed an estimated 47 people. A police spokesman said it was unclear how long the operation would last — or whether there could be similar searches conducted outside Quebec. “We’ll be in Farnham as long as it takes to gather all the evidence we’re looking for there,” Insp. Michel Forget told reporters in Lac-Megantic. “We will work with other police forces — either outside the country or in Canada — to conduct the necessary raids... “For the moment there are no other raids, either in Canada or the U.S. Other organizations are investigating and I’ll let them comment on that.” A number of lawsuits have been launched in the case, in addition to separate investigations being conducted by police and transportation-safety officials. The disaster has already prompted some changes to federal safety guidelines for railways. Police said the Farnham investigation team, made up of around 15 people, uncovered some evidence Thursday, but they declined to discuss it. The probe has already reached MMA chairman Ed Burkhardt, who was questioned for hours by provincial police during his recent visit to Lac-Megantic. An official with the Maine-based company said Thursday she was aware of the police operation at its Farnham office, but she did not offer any further details. An executive with Burkhardt’s Illinois-based Rail World Inc., MMA’s major stockholder, said she was only made aware of the police activity after receiving a call from the media. The company has been under the spotlight ever since MMA rail tankers carrying crude oil smashed into the heart of Lac-Megantic, triggering a series of explosions and engulfing the area in fire. The crash wiped out dozens of buildings in the downtown core, while millions of litres of oil leaked into the soil and nearby water bodies. Lac-Megantic’s mayor announced earlier this week she had sent a lawyer’s letter to MMA, demanding that it immediately reimburse the town $4 million for environmental cleanup costs. Colette Roy-Laroche alleged the community had to pick up the tab for MMA because it failed to pay companies it had hired to mop up crude oil that spilled from the damaged tankers. She said the crews would have left town if they weren’t paid. The letter told the company it had 48 hours — or until noon Thursday — to respond. A few hours after the deadline passed, Roy-Laroche told reporters that Lac-Megantic never heard from MMA. She said she had hoped MMA would have conducted itself like a good corporate citizen. “It was the least we could have expected from the company,” said Roy-Laroche. She said the town is now evaluating, with the help of the provincial government and legal experts, how it will proceed. “It’s too early to say which route and procedure we will take.” And this might only be the start of the company’s legal problems. On Thursday, two more wrongful-death lawsuits

They followed another similar lawsuit presented Monday by the same Illinois firm. Attorney Peter Flowers filed the court documents on behalf of the loved ones of three people killed in the derailment — Jean-Guy Veilleux, 32, Genevieve Breton, 28, and Melissa Roy, 29. Flowers has said he expects to present more than a dozen additional suits that could each seek millions in damages. Aldana indicated the company has yet to be served with a wrongful-death lawsuit, but Flowers said it could take several days before the defendants receive the documents. Companies connected to the derailment may also face another legal challenge after a motion was presented last week in a Quebec court seeking permission to file a class-action lawsuit. A spokesman for Gowlings, a major law firm that has represented MMA in Canada for years, declined to comment Thursday on the railway’s legal situation. Back in Lac-Megantic, locals are still seeking closure on loved ones missing since the derailment and presumed dead. The provincial coroner’s office said it had identified the remains of two more victims since Tuesday, bringing the total number to 31. Search crews have recovered 42 bodies so far and officials believe that five more are still buried amid the debris of the devastated town. New Democrat MP Olivia Chow, who was in the community Thursday, said she was pleased Transport Canada made changes this week to railway regulations, such as the rule to ensure trains have two operators rather than just one.

WINNIPEG — Police say they believe the mother whose two children were found dead in their home is still alive and are urging her to contact police. Officers were concentrating their search for Lisa Gibson, 32, on the Winnipeg family’s riverside neighbourhood, Const. Eric Hofley said Thursday. Emergency personnel were on the Assiniboine River, which runs near the home, and the police helicopter was also being used to look for the woman. “We’re still treating this as we are searching for Ms. Gibson (and) that she’s alive,” Hofley said. “We have no indication at this time to do otherwise.” Police were called to the Gibson home in a leafy, quiet area on Wednesday morning and discovered a toddler girl and baby boy in critical condition. The two were rushed to hospital but died. Officers have been searching for Gibson ever since. Although there are reports the children died in the bathtub, Hofley said the cause of death was still being determined. Police have been careful not to call Gibson a suspect and say they are concerned for her wellbeing. “Ms. Gibson was the last person to our knowledge with the children so, obviously, once she’s located and spoken with, where the investigation goes from there remains to be seen,” Hofley said. He said there have been sightings of the strawberry-blond-haired woman.

Canada Job Grant worries premiers NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. — Canada’s provincial and territorial leaders vowed Thursday to fight Ottawa’s controversial plan to fund jobs training for workers, saying the new scheme would require them to come up with more than half a billion dollars in extra cash. There’s concern across the board over the Canada Job Grant, said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is hosting the Council of the Federation meeting. “There really was a very strong feeling that the program as it exists won’t work,” she said. The Harper government wants to divert some of the money it gives to the provinces and territories to the new

Former Mountie gets life for killing wife KELOWNA, B.C. — Keith Wiens stared at the floor as a judge handed a life sentence to the former policeman for shooting and killing his unarmed spouse and the attempting to cover it up by placing a knife in her hand. Justice Geoff Barrow declared Wiens should not be eligible for parole for 13 years for the murder of Lynn Kalmring in their home in August 2011. “I’m satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Wiens put the knife in her hand after the fact in order to deflect his responsibility for his conduct,” Barrow said. “I do not believe his evidence and neither did the jury.” Wiens, 56, shuffled off with the sheriff for the last time after the B.C. Supreme Court jury convicted him of second-degree murder. Dressed in red prison clothes, he never looked back at his brother, sister-in-law and another supporter in the gallery. Kalmring’s family is happy the judge rejected Wiens’s defence that he shot her to protect himself when she stormed into their bedroom with a knife aimed at his throat. “He’s got life in prison. That’s where he needs to be,” said Kalmring’s sister Donna Irwin. “He can’t get parole for at least 13 years, and then in those 13 years, we will be there at that parole hearing to make sure he never sees the light of day.”

program, which would provide a grant of $15,000 per worker. The provinces and territories, as well as the employers, would each kick in $5,000. But the premiers are worried that it won’t give them enough flexibility to direct the money where it’s needed most and could jeopardize existing provincially run programs. Small businesses aren’t interested in taking part in this program either, Wynne said. The provinces and territories, who have jurisdiction for skills training and labour market programs, would have to find more than $600 million to maintain their current programs as well as match the cost of the Canada Job Grant, they said in a joint statement Thursday. “Premiers reiterated that federal funding agreements or initiatives such as the proposed Canada Job Grant
must allow jurisdictions to opt out, with full compensation,” it said. British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward will look into the issue and report back to their counterparts this fall, said Wynne. “We are all calling for a federal, provincial, territorial ministerial meeting to discuss these important issues, because we do not believe the way the program is designed that it will work,” she said. Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney said he’s looking forward to the meeting this fall. “The federal government’s focus remains on job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity,” he said in a statement. “The Canada Job Grant will bring
federal and provincial and territorial governments together with employers to invest in skills training for unemployed and underemployed Canadians so that they are qualified to fill the high-quality, well-paying jobs available.” Behind the scenes, Ontario and B.C. say they’re open to negotiating an arrangement that works for everyone. But Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, one of the most vocal opponents of the Canada Job Grant, suggested that some provinces would rather opt out entirely. But she wouldn’t name names. “We do not want to have the invasion of the federal government,” she said. The program, which is supposed to kick in April 2014, is contingent on negotiations with the provinces that were set to start this summer.
because it would have meant pouring money down the drain. Testifying for a third day at the inquiry into the mall’s deadly collapse, Bob Nazarian said he sold a property he owned in 2009 — four years after he purchased the mall — then spent $2.6 million to buy another. Why, commission counsel Peter Doody asked, didn’t he instead put that money into fixing the roof? “Because,” Nazarian said. “Because why?” “The Algo Mall was a black hole. No matter how much money you put in . . . that mall was doomed,” Nazarian responded. “Simply, I would not put my life in it. I worked 42 years to gather some fund for my family. I’m not going to put everything in this building.” The stunning admission came after days of testimony about how Nazarian had been desperate to finance repairs to the perennially leaking roof, which caved in last summer killing two women. John Pomerleau, a funeral director in the town, called Nazarian’s comments unreal. “Wow. I guess lives are a waste of money so we don’t want to do that,” Pomerleau said. “If he had the money, I don’t see why this wasn’t fixed and then dump it, if you want to dump it. Do it in good conscience and things would have been good all round.”
winter. Cyclones are not unusual in the Arctic, but seem to be changing in recent years, said David Barber, one of Canada’s top sea-ice experts. “These cyclones are not getting more frequent, but they are getting deeper — which means stronger,” he said. And they’re getting harder on sea ice, which they break up through wave action associated with high winds and through rainfall, which darkens the ice and makes it absorb more solar energy. The storms also bring up water from the depths, which is actually warmer than surface water. Cyclones can destroy large amounts of ice very quickly.
Ottawa prison has been granted what a grievance board called its largest-ever award for a human rights breach. Robert Ranger worked at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre from 1998 to 2002, when he left because he said he couldn’t take the taunts and gay slurs. Eventually, he went on longterm disability, suffering from depression and anxiety attacks to this day. The Grievance Settlement Board, which handles complaints from Ontario public servants, this week ordered the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to pay Ranger $98,000 in compensation. It is a large amount, vice-chair Deborah Leighton said in her decision, but it is an attempt to restore Ranger’s dignity. “The harassment and discrimination that created a poisoned workplace at OCDC was vile,” Leighton wrote. “The chief culprit and his entourage taunted and humiliated Mr. Ranger repeatedly and the employer did almost nothing to address the homophobic atmosphere in the jail. The employer is liable for this failure.”

Eskimos come up just short BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
OILERS INK FIRST PICK The Edmonton Oilers have signed defenceman Darnell Nurse to a three-year entry-level contract. Edmonton selected the 18-year-old seventh overall at the 2013 NHL draft. He had 41 points (12 goals, 29 assists) and 116 penalty minutes in 68 games with the Ontario Hockey League’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds last season. He added four points and six penalty minutes in six playoff games. The sixfoot-five, 192-pound blue-liner represented Canada at the 2013 Under-18 World Junior Hockey Championship and participated in the 2013 CHL Top Prospects Game. The Hamilton native is the son of former CFL receiver Richard Nurse and nephew of former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Alouettes 32 Eskimos 27 MONTREAL — Brandon Whitaker is starting to feel himself again. The speedy running back started slow but ended up with a career-high 162 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Montreal Alouettes ended a three-game losing streak with a 32-27 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Thursday night. Whitaker was tearing up the CFL last year before blowing out a knee, and had been quiet through the first four games of the season before finally breaking out against the struggling Eskimos. “It felt good,” said Whitaker, who gained only 24 yards in the first half but then erupted for 138 in the final 30 minutes. “That was the most carries I got in a long time. “It felt good to run the ball and block. It just felt good to win. I’ve still got a bit of work to do. I don’t feel 100 per cent myself, but it’s definitely coming.” Anthony Calvillo threw a touchdown pass to S.J. Green, and Sean Whyte booted six field goals for Montreal (2-3), which has won seven in a row against the Eskimos over the last four seasons. Cary Koch scored on a kick return and a reception while Calvin McCarty also had a TD catch from Mike Reilly. Grant Shaw kicked two field goals for Edmonton (1-4), which has lost three in a row.

Steele has solid start at Canadian Open FRITSCH THE TOP CANADIAN AFTER OPENING ROUND BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OAKVILLE, Ont. — Even though half the field had yet to play on Thursday, the first round of the 2013 RBC Canadian Open was largely decided by noon. Brendan Steele held on to his early clubhouse lead to win the first round of the Canadian Open after shooting a 7-under 65, with no golfer in the afternoon grouping able to crack the top five of the $5.6-million PGA Tour event. Joe Affrunti came closest. His 4-under 68 performance tied him for seventh. “Today was probably the most complete round that I’ve had all year, so that was kind of nice,” said Steele. “Didn’t miss many greens, didn’t hit many shots off line, and I was able to roll a few putts in.” The 30-year-old Steele played consistent golf over the par72, 7,253-yard Glen Abbey Golf Course, only bogeying the par4 ninth hole. Steele had eight birdies, five on the front nine alone. Scott Gardiner, Matt Kuchar and Scott Brown all tied for second, one shot off the pace. Gardiner was tied for first after eagleing on the par-3 15th hole, but he bogeyed on the

That was a struggle, but the rest of the shots I was fairly happy with. But then a couple of the tee shots there on the last.” Ottawa’s Brad Fritsch was the top Canadian after a 3-under 69 performance. He bird-
ied his final three holes to pass David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., on the leaderboard. Hearn finished 2 under. “I think I hit less than 50 per cent of the fairways, but I think that’s just the nature of this golf course,” said Fritsch. “I looked like I got some horrendous bounces. When I was expecting one way, it went the other, and that led to a little bit of frustration. But I stayed patient.” Fritsch was pleased with his performance, especially with
an afternoon start time on a day where temperatures reached 23 C. “I made an unforced bogey on No. 2, which is a birdie hole. Got off to a bad start,” said Fritsch. “But I made six birdies. So out here in the afternoon, that’s pretty good when 156 players have been on the greens already.” David Lingmerth and Hunter Mahan tied for fifth after going 5-under par. “I did okay in my opening nine. Just didn’t hit it great,” said Mahan, who started his round at No. 10. “Didn’t give myself a lot of great looks at birdie, but certainly on 1 and 2, I got some momentum on my side and hit it good after that. “Gave myself a lot of good looks and the greens were rolling true. It’s in great shape right now. In the morning we’ll have perfect conditions.” Many notable names in the tournament showed signs of fatigue after last week’s British Open. Scott Piercy, last year’s Canadian Open champion, finished in a group tied for 41st after going 1 under. Ernie Els was also in that group, while two-time Canadian Open champion Jim Furyk shot at even par to tie for 69th.

Kings to face good test in preseason games BY DANNY RODE ADVOCATE STAFF The RDC Kings hockey team’s preseason is set. The Kings, who open camp at the beginning of September in Penhold, will open their five-game preseason series Sept. 13 against the SAIT Trojans at 7 p.m. at the Penhold Arena. They visit the Trojans Sept. 14. The Kings will also host the University of Alberta, Augustana Vikings Sept. 19 and compete at the SAIT tournament, Sept. 2021 playing the Thompson Rivers University from Kamloops and the Simon Fraser University of Vancouver. “We’re allowed to play six exhibition games during the season and I want to save one of those games for early December against the Bentley Generals,” explained Kings head coach Trevor Keeper. “We’d like to make it an annual affair

against Bentley.” Keeper wanted to face some of the toughest competition he could find in the preseason and the Trojans will offer just that. “They lost in the (Alberta Colleges Men’s Hockey League) final last year to NAIT and they’re near the top every year,” said Keeper. “It’s a good test and I wanted to challenge the guys right off the bat. Make them realize how hard they have to work.” The Trojans will have several new players this season, as will the NAIT Ooks, according to the RDC coach. “Hopefully we’ll be competitive right off the bat,” he said. The Kings will open their regular season Sept. 25 at Camrose and host Augustana, Sept. 27. All the RDC home games will be in Penhold at 7:15 p.m.. Keeper is still tinkering with his roster after adding four players last week — Jared Kambeitz, Jared Ramstead, Kyle Lapenskie and Brett Wold. Kambeitz and Ramstead played with
the Blackfalds Wranglers last season. The six-foot-three 210-pound Kambeitz had 69 points in 38 games, but will play defence with RDC. “He played back there as a 15-year-old and some in junior, so he adds size to our back end” said Keeper. Keeper did lose forward Brett Printz, who will attend the University of Calgary, but isn’t playing this season. “We still have a couple of other guys trying to get into school, so we’ll know about them shortly,” said Keeper. “One guy played pro in the Central Hockey League and the other played at Dauphin, Man. Both are forwards.” Cole deGraaf and Jordan Koopmans who played with the Red Deer Vipers of the Heritage Junior B Hockey League last season are also interested in trying out, according to Keeper.

Buehrle helps Jays break losing streak BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 4 Astros 0 TORONTO — Mark Buehrle was a man in a hurry. The Blue Jays starting pitcher had a Tim McGraw concert he wanted to attend with his wife Thursday night, so he made quick work of the Houston Astros and got on his way. In tossing a two-hit shutout, Buehrle led the way as Toronto ended its seven-game losing streak with a much-needed 4-0 victory at Rogers Centre over the team with the worst record in baseball. Buehrle insisted his postgame plans weren’t on his mind as he mowed down the Astros with remarkable efficiency. The lefty threw 108 pitches over nine innings, striking out nine and wrapping things up in a clean 2 hours and 18 minutes. “He was just marvelous,” Adam Lind said. “He threw the heck out of that baseball tonight.” Buehrle’s domination couldn’t have come at a better time for the struggling Blue Jays, whose bullpen had been taxed during a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mixing his pitches and keeping counts low, the 34-yearold rarely got into trouble and dazzled the Astros. “It was typical Buehrle: When he’s on, when he’s hitting spots, when he’s got that good change-up,” manager John Gibbons said. “I thought he did a really good job of hitting some of the right-handers inside tonight to keep
STORIES FROM B1
CFL: Thrilling finish A game filled with penalties and errors by two teams at the bottom of their respective divisions had the 23,012 at Percival Molson Stadium on their feet for a thrilling finish. The ground attack was critical for Montreal as Reilly led a second half comeback and came within a yard of stealing the victory for the Eskimos. Montreal took a five-point lead with one minute to play, but Reilly marched the Eskimos down the Montreal one-yard line with one play left in the game. However, John White was stopped behind the line of scrimmage by Chip Cox as time expired. Reilly had been pulled in the second quarter when the offence stalled, but finished the game with 16 completions for 262 yards and touchdown passes to Koch and McCarty. “It was a tremendous step forward (for Reilly),” coach Kavis Reed said. “When a quarterback is down by five with less than a minute left and you have to drive a football down and get in a position to win, and to execute it almost flawlessly, I think that’s a leap for him.” There had been speculation that Montreal may fire first-year coach Dan Hawkins or offensive co-ordinator Mike Miller if they lost, but the Alouettes responded with with their best offensive performance of the season. Now they can go into a bye week with some confidence. “I thought Mike called a really good game,” said Hawkins. “Kept them off balance for the most part, and you know, when we get an opportunity to run the football and get some continuity, you want to. “But it’s tough. If we get stopped a few times you get out of your rhythm. But Mike called a really great game and the O-line did a good job and BWhit (Whitaker) did a nice job too.” They had a five-minute edge in time of possession and finally got the mix of air and ground attack to move the yardsticks consistently. Calvillo had 202 yards on 19 completions and Whitaker did the rest. But it wasn’t easy. Whyte’s field goal gave Montreal a 26-13 lead at 1:18 of the fourth quarter, but Edmonton struck back with a pair of TDs in a 1:21 span to take the lead for the first time. Reilly helped set up the first one himself as he ran for 20 yards, then hit McCarty with a 20-yard TD pass at 2:16. Whitaker fumbled on Montreal’s next play from scrimmage, and one play later, Reilly found Koch in the end zone with a 24-yard pass for another TD. But Montreal bounced back as a
them honest. It came along at the time when we definitely needed it because our bullpen’s kind of tired.” The bullpen never stirred because Buehrle (6-7) was always in control. He didn’t allow a hit until Justin Maxwell’s single with two outs in the fifth, and he didn’t flinch after J.D. Martinez’s double in the seventh as the Blue Jays clung to a one-run lead. “I had everything working,” Buehrle said. “Obviously velocity wasn’t there. I was making pitches when I had to, movement was good and keeping the guys off balance. ... It was just one of those days that I had everything going for me.” Perhaps because he didn’t overthink the ramifications — either of the Blue Jays’ skid or their fatigued relievers, who combined to throw 13 1/3 innings in the previous three games. Gibbons made it clear his team needed a strong outing from Buehrle, but that didn’t cause undue stress. “In your mind you know that the bullpen’s been worn out and been used a lot,” Buehrle said. “But if they have 10 days off, I’m going out there trying to go as deep in the game as I can. If the guys say, ‘Hey I need to get an inning today,’ I’m still trying to go seven, eight innings every time I’m out there. I don’t put any more pressure or look at the situation like that.” Pressure could have come from pitching in a tight game, as Houston starter Erik Bedard managed to hold the Blue Jays to just one run on three poor Shaw punt gave them the ball at the 29 and Whyte booted his fifth of the night for a two-point lead with 4:12 left to play. He added another kick at 14:00. Then Reilly went to work, completing a series of passes to move the ball first to the Montreal 5, then to the 1. He took the final snap from the shotgun formation, but time expired as White was stuffed by Cox behind the line of scrimmage. “If they had it to do over again they’d probably line up and try to push us through,” said Cox. “But coach (Noel Thorpe) called a good play and we made it.” Linebacker Shea Emry, who had two interceptions, said the win was good but the Alouettes can’t go away thinking all their early season problems are solved. Penalties remain a problem for both teams, as the Alouettes took 10 and Edmonton 13. And there were still moments of confusion. “It’s one game and there’s still lots of stuff for us to work on out there,” said Emry. “Lots of penalties, lots of mistakes that are costing us points. “Luckily we’ve got a bye and we can heal up a bit and move on to the next game.” It was the first win by an East Division team over the West this season (1-6). Edmonton has not won in Montreal since 2007.
OPEN: Perfect conditions Luke Donald (73) was 1 over and Graeme McDowell (76) was in a group tied for 141st at 4 over. “It was fun to be out here. It was perfect conditions,” said Kuchar. “I feel like last week, conditions were so challenging and so difficult at the British Open to come here and to play golf that is more friendly and more what we’re used to the PGA Tour was great.” Amateur Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., almost finished the day as the top Canadian after eagleing on the 16th hole. Unfortunately, he bogeyed on his final two holes to finish at 1-under 71 in a tie with Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C. Still, Conners was the top amateur on the day. “It was great. I had myself in some tricky spots but was able to save shots by getting the ball up and down and making some key putts,” said Conners. “Felt pretty good out there. Disappointed to bogey the last two, had a real nice round going but overall still a great round.” Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., struggled in the morning group, triple bogeying on the par-4 14th hole. He recovered on his final five holes to finish the round at par.

Toronto Blue Jays’ Mark Buehrle pitches against Houston Astros during first inning action Wednesday in Toronto. hits through five innings. Limiting the damage to an RBI double by Edwin Encarnacion, the Navan, Ont., native was forced to exit after 95 pitches, and Toronto took advantage of reliever Lucas Harrell to provide Buehrle some insurance. Jose Bautista, Encarnacion, Lind and Maicer Izturis combined to put three runs on the board in the seventh. Buehrle didn’t need the extra run support, but it sure didn’t hurt, especially
one night after the Blue Jays failed to build on their lead and watched it slip away. “We saw what happened last night when we couldn’t score an additional insurance run, but that’s baseball,” said Lind, whose opposite-field double drove in Bautista. “It just makes things a lot easier tonight for our starting pitcher or your bullpen when you can add one or two extra runs.”
He wasn’t the only Canadian to have trouble on the course. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., and Eric Banks of Truro, N.S., both shot a 73, while Calgary’s Stephen Ames, Peter Laws of Milton, Ont., and Mackenzie Hughes of Dundas, Ont., all had a 74. Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C., and Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C., tied after shooting identical scores of 3-over 75. Amateur Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., shot a 76. Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan, Toronto’s Albin Choi and Bryn Parry of North Vancouver, B.C., all shot 77, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., had a 78.

Bolt says doping scandals have ‘set back’ track

said this week as his team prepared to face the Bombers at Investors Group Field. Kevin Glenn is No. 3 at best for the Stamps after getting roughed up in their come-from-behind win over the Montreal Alouettes last week that lifted Calgary to a 3-1 record in second place in the CFL West. Tate appears to be getting back in shape after taking a break due to a muscle strain in his throwing arm. “I really wasn’t that concerned,” Hufnagel said of his quarterbacking choices this week. “I’m disappointed in Kevin’s progress. I thought I would have an opportunity to pick one of the three.” Burke said he made his starter call Wednesday, based on Pierce’s condition after a helmet hit to the abdomen in Winnipeg’s 35-19 loss to the Toronto Argonauts last week. He’s still on the depth chart but at No. 3, behind CFL rookie Max Hall, and Burke suggested if he did take the field all they’d let him do would be hand off the ball. Goltz finished the last game for Pierce and acquitted himself pretty well, completing 13 of 15 passes for 170 yards. This is his fourth season with the Bombers but first start. He was always No. 3 on the backup depth chart behind Alex Brink and Joey Elliott, both cut by the Bombers in the off-season. “I thought I’d be a little more nervous than I am,” he said as he faced reporters for the first time as a starter. “This is what I’ve been working for for a long time and it’s finally here. I thought the emotions and anxiety would be a little bit more but I think that’s a good thing.” Hufnagel, meanwhile, likes what he sees in Mitchell, who joined the
Stamps as a backup last season, but added he’s young and still makes mistakes. “He’s a good player. He’s been productive when he’s on the field,” says the coach and general manager of the Stampeders. Hufnagel expects a very physical game. “I know their team is going to be emotionally high,” he says of the Bombers. “They’re very physical. Their defence, they’re in the top in a lot of categories.” That physical play will be helped by the return of defensive lineman Bryant Turner, adept at finding ways to get to an opposing quarterback. Turner says he’s anxious to get back. He was a potent part of the sack machine that dried up a little in Winnipeg’s last outing, although the Bombers still have a league-leading 19. Calgary wide receiver Tim Hawthorne is coming off the practice roster to fill in for Joe West, also injured last week. Offensively, Hufnagel says the two teams are not far apart on yards, although his Stampeders are more efficient when it comes to points scored. The Bombers have had difficulty cashing in once they enter the red zone but it’s not a new problem, after finishing 6-12 and out of the playoffs in 2012. They’ve managed 91 points so far this season to the Stampeders 125, while both have allowed 109. Two Bombers were also fined this week by the CFL for illegal blocks in last week’s loss to Toronto. Offensive lineman Glenn January got his for a chop block on Toronto Argonaut Khalif Mitchell and defensive back Teague Sherman was fined for blocking an opponent below the waist on a kickoff return.

SOUTHPORT, England — Gene Sauers mastered a stiff breeze to shoot a 3-under 67 Thursday for a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Senior British Open. The 50-year-old American had all pars on the front nine for a 34 at sunny Royal Birkdale. He then birdied the 10th and bogeyed the 11th. His three successive birdies from the 15th left him at 33 for the back nine. “I hit a lot of solid shots in the wind, so it didn’t really mess with me too much,” Sauers said. “I’m really pleased with the way I played. This is only my third British Open and it’s a great privilege and honour to be here.” Four players were at 68, among them 2010 British Senior Champion Bernhard Langer. The German was joined by South Africa’s David Frost, Australia’s Peter Senior and Frankie Minoza of the Philippines. Only 10 of the 144 players bettered par.

Brady; Pats moving past ‘challenging’ offseason BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady talks with reporters following NFL football practice in Foxborough, Mass., Thursday. forward as best we know how.” Brady talked at length for the first time since Hernandez’s name surfaced in connection with the shooting death of Boston semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd on June 17. Hernandez was arrested on June 26 and cut by the Patriots before he was charged that afternoon. He is being held without bail after pleading not guilty. “Certainly, it’s a very tragic thing that happened and someone loses their life,” Brady said, “but all those things were out of the players’ control here. We’re not really a part of that situation.” He declined to answer several questions, saying he had been advised not to. They included whether he had spoken with Hernandez or whether Hernandez had apologized to him after the
Maple Leafs sign GM Nonis to five-year extension THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — These Toronto Maple Leafs were built in Brian Burke’s image of truculence and grit. Six months after taking over as general manager, Dave Nonis hasn’t drastically overhauled the roster. But the moves he has made so far were enough to earn Nonis a five-year contract extension that gives him some longterm security. “We all know that there’s no short-term fixes in professional sports,” Nonis said in a radio interview on Sportsnet 590. “If you’re thinking short term you’re probably going to do long-term damage.” That’s the directive to Nonis and Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri by Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment president and CEO Tim Leiweke, who was with the Los Angeles Kings when they won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Leiweke’s message has been about the future, and in extending Nonis he gave the 47-year-old the keys to the kingdom. In announcing the extension, Leiweke said ownership and management “felt it critical” to extend Nonis’s deal now as a reward for the team’s progress. “This extension will allow David the time to build his kind of team to produce steady results, year after year,” he said in a statement. “Every-
one is excited about his ability and grasp of the NHL landscape and today’s new contract agreement will offer the Leafs consistency and a longterm vision.” Since taking over for the fired Burke just before the start of the lockout-shortened 2013 season, Nonis has made a handful of notable moves to keep the core intact and at least start to put his stamp on the Maple Leafs. During the season he extended Joffrey Lupul for five years and US$26.25 million, but maintained the status quo with the goaltending tandem of James Reimer and Ben Scrivens. The Maple Leafs finished fifth in the Eastern Conference with 57 points, making their first playoff appearance since 2004. They lost to the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals after coughing up a 4-1 lead in the final 11 minutes of Game 7. While the Bruins were playing in the Stanley Cup final, Nonis acquired goaltender Jonathan Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Scrivens, forward Matt Frattin and a second-round pick in either 2014 or 2015. He then gave Bernier a two-year deal worth $5.8 million and talked up the strong tandem the 24-year-old and Reimer gave Toronto for next season. Nonis reshaped the Leafs at centre by trading three picks to the Chicago Blackhawks
for David Bolland, who scored the Cup-winning goal in Game 6. He used a compliance buyout on Mikhail Grabovski to wipe out the final four years and $21.5 million of that contract, and gave Tyler Bozak $21 million over the next five seasons. Nonis also signed right-winger David Clarkson to a seven-year, $36.75-million contract, the max number of years anyone can give a free agent from another team. “We want to put together a team that has a chance to compete and win regardless of the opponent,” Nonis said in a radio interview on TSN 1050 in Toronto. “We feel like we’re getting closer to a team like that.” Nonis’s new deal goes through 2018, longer than anyone in the organization except for Clarkson. Armed with an extension that he called “fair” in dollars and term, Nonis still has work to do. He said extensions with Phil Kessel and captain Dion Phaneuf are not “on the front burner” just yet. And he’s not worried about new deals for restricted free agents Nazem Kadri, Cody Franson and Mark Fraser, which aren’t close to getting done. “That’s not a red flag. It’s July,” Nonis said on Sportsnet 590. “I’m not surprised that they’re not signed, and we have a lot of time before we have to start worrying about it.”
IndyCar will require all engines to have twin turbochargers for 2014 BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The IndyCar Series could be getting more parity next season. On Thursday, series officials announced they would require all engines used in 2014 to be powered by twin turbochargers. Chevrolet has been running with twin turbos since returning to competition in 2012. Honda, the series’ sole engine producer from 2006-11, has been using a single turbocharger. “It’s strictly to eliminate the disparity that might exist or does exist between the twin turbo and the single turbo, so it was something IndyCar tried to balance this was how they decided it,” said Chris Berube, the IndyCar program manager for Chevrolet. Initially, the Chevrolet-powered cars were so dominant that drivers and owners of Honda-powered cars sought a rules change to level the playing field. This year, the Chevys have
again been better in qualifying and appeared to trim Honda’s race-day advantage early in the season. Honda, though, has won each of the last three races in a season that has been both close and wide open. A year ago, when it became clear there was a disparity between the engines, series officials ruled Honda could keep a new compressor cover on its engines to make the engines more competitive. Chevy appealed the ruling, which was upheld by a former Indiana Supreme Court judge. The ruling helped make the Honda-powered cars generate more speed on long, flat straightaways. This time, the decision was made in consultation with the series’ engine committee, and IndyCar president of competition Derrick Walker said both engine manufacturers agreed to make changes. “In an effort for parity throughout the turbocharger range, mandating only a twin turbo system simplifies our efforts to ensure even closer competition,” Walker said.
tight end was linked to the investigation. During Hernandez’s three seasons since being drafted by the Patriots, he was one of Brady’s top receivers. Asked if he thought he knew Hernandez, Brady said, “the relationship that you have as a football player, the relationship you have within the walls of (Gillette Stadium) are what they are and then people have their own life.” Might people not know others as well as they think they do? “I don’t know if you quantify those things,” Brady said. “How well do you know your kids? You try to do the best you can do, but everyone is ultimately accountable for their own decision making.” Asked if Hernandez had fit in with his former teammates, Brady said, “I
TORONTO RAPTORS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have added assistant coaches Bill Bayno and Jesse Mermuys to Dwane Casey’s staff for the upcoming NBA season. Bayno has over 20 years of coaching experience at the NBA, college and international levels. He spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach in Minnesota and previously spent five years as an assistant in Portland. “One profile we were going for is player development,” Casey said. “Bill
Bayno is one of the best in the league as far as player development. I’ve known Bill for a long time back when he was coaching in college and also when he was coaching with my good friend Nate McMillan in Portland. He did an excellent job of developing guys.” Mermuys was a member of Kevin McHale’s staff in Houston last season, serving as assistant coach and director of player development. He worked with the Denver Nuggets for four years, first as video co-ordinator in 2008-09 then was promoted to advance scout where he was responsible for scouting upcoming opponents throughout the league. He was promoted to assistant coach and advance scout for the 201112 campaign.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — With Aaron Hernandez’s arrest hovering over the start of training camp, the New England Patriots sent out quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick to shed some light. Brady spoke for 17 minutes Thursday and said the murder charge against his former tight end is “zero” distraction to him. Belichick spoke for 22 minutes Wednesday and said the team would learn from the “terrible experience.” Both spoke with greater patience and candour than they usually do as the Patriots hurried to remove the stain from their reputation — and lower media attention — before their first practice on Friday. “You talk about the ’Patriot Way’ and to me that means mental toughness and to me it means dealing with different situations and adversities over the course of a season and offseason,” Brady said, “and how you can put those things behind you and focus on your job.” The Patriots were happy to get back on the field during conditioning tests Thursday. Brady was asked about the team’s morale. “It’s fun. It’s exciting,” he said. “This is a new year for us. Last year didn’t end the way that we would have hoped so we have a chance to go out there and try to do a lot better this year.” The Patriots lost the AFC championship game to the Baltimore Ravens. “The fate of our season is going to be determined by the guys in the locker room,” Brady said, “and, hopefully, nothing else.” Not only must they improve on the field, but, Brady said, the Patriots must work hard to “re-establish what we’re all about” after the arrest of Hernandez. “It’s been a challenging off-season,” he said. “But we’re going to try to move
don’t think any of that really matters to me or matters to anything that’s going on with the legal process or anything like that.” On the day before camp opened, Belichick displayed unusual patience with questioners and gave more detailed answers than usual after making an opening statement while using notes. On Thursday, it was the turn of the team’s best player. “It’s a terrible thing that happened,” Brady said. “There’s a very human, compassionate element that we all have and when it’s someone that has been on our team, it’s a very sad thing. So I think that we, as a team, have tried to move forward with better awareness and understanding of these types of things.” He listed several former teammates — Tedy Bruschi, Kevin Faulk, Troy Brown, Mike Vrabel — who represented the Patriots well on and off the field. “Everyone who has played here has played a part of what the New England Patriots are all about,” said Brady, wearing a dark blue sweatshirt with the words, “PATRIOTS ESTABLISHED IN 1960” on the front. “We realize that in light of the recent situation that probably those things get overshadowed and we’ve got to work hard to kind of re-establish what we’re all about. “And that’s, like we said, to win games and to be the best representatives of this team and organization and representatives for this city that we can possibly be.” Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork also spoke Thursday but didn’t mention Hernandez’s name. “You’re dealing with a real-life situation, so it’s easy to get caught up in the media or speculations. We’re not here for that,” Wilfork said. “I feel bad for the victim’s family, but we have to move forward as a football team. That’s sad to say, but that’s reality.”

Peyton Manning says he is feeling good BRONCOS’ QUARTERBACK ‘ALL IN’ GOING INTO SECOND YEAR IN DENVER
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — His arm feels stronger and, yes, Peyton Manning has a much better feel for what to expect in Year 2 as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos. The calendar, however, doesn’t stop for anyone. Manning turned 37 since the last time he threw a meaningful pass — the interception that led to Baltimore’s winning score in its double-overtime victory in the playoffs — and that so-called window to win a championship will close soon. Even that sort of forward thinking, however, doesn’t jibe with Manning — whose contract is guaranteed through 2014, but who takes things one practice, one game, one season at a time. “I don’t have a set number,” Manning said Thursday, after the first practice of training camp, when asked how many more years he can play. “I’m all in on 2013.” All the Broncos are. This is a team built to win right now, based largely on the fact that John Elway took a chance on the prized quarterback last off-season and has spent all his time since spending big to assemble a team full of veterans to surround him. “Our goals are set high,” coach John Fox said. “From our owner on down, he wants to win a championship and he wants to win them back-toback. That has been done here in this organization, so it’s not just talk and that’s everybody in this building’s goal.” To take the next step, Elway added Wes Welker to Man-
ning’s already strong receiving corps — part of a busy offseason during which he spent $125 million, counting the re-signing of left tackle Ryan Clady. “I don’t know if you saw him out there today,” Manning joked about Welker, who caught his first training camp passes in front of about 3,000 fans who came out for opening day. Manning has always insisted it takes years, not weeks or months, to build strong connections with new receivers. He doesn’t have that kind of time, of course, so he’s doing the best he can. Now nearly 18 months removed from the last in a series of surgeries on his neck, Manning said he feels stronger, even better than he did last year, when he threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns, both the second-highest total of his 16-year career. As for a certain throw or feeling he’s experienced on the field this off-season that signals to him he’s all the way back — well, it’s nothing that concrete. “I can’t really think of a specific throw,” Manning said. “I think when you know your teammates better, when you have your timing better with your teammates, that certainly always has allowed for more precise throws, more confident throws.” Like the rest of the Broncos, Manning has been itching to get back since last season’s playoff loss to Baltimore. The Broncos were 13-3, on an 11-game winning streak, topseeded in the AFC and top pick to go to the Super Bowl. Elway, drawing compari-
Kaepernick ready to lead 49ers to another run in first full season THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Colin Kaepernick’s every move is scrutinized now that he has reached rock-star status as a third-year quarterback with the NFL’s top-selling jersey. He showed up for Day 1 of training camp Thursday sporting a black beanie hat and large red headphones hanging from his neck, insisting he is unaffected by it all. No Dolphins gear to be seen. The hype isn’t going away anytime soon. “There’s just more opportunities to do things. For the most part for me, I’m worried about playing football,” Kaepernick said ahead of the team’s first full-squad practice. “I’m worried about making sure I’m ready to go on the field and perform.” In six short months since losing in the waning moments of the Super Bowl, Kaepernick has, among other things, appeared unclothed on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s “The Body Issue.” And Kaep caused quite a stir by wearing a Miami cap. He fully expects plenty of grief from teammates as begins his first training camp as the guy under centre. “I haven’t had anything real bad yet, so I feel like they’re plotting on me right now,” Kaepernick said with a smile. The 25-year-old Kaepernick has been fueled by coming so close to the franchise’s sixth Super Bowl championship in February, a 34-31 loss to Baltimore. The Niners missed three chances from the 5-yard line, yet Kaepernick is quick to point to a mistake-filled first half. Coach Jim Harbaugh’s forward-focused message has been clear: “If you’re still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven’t done much today.” Kaepernick is determined to be that much better in his first full season as starter for the two-time NFC West champions, who expect a big challenge in the division from Seattle and St. Louis. The 49ers are ready for Kaepernick to lead them back to the big stage. “Kaep is a diverse guy.
And the coaches love him. The players love him. It’s unique in that way, maybe for a quarterback, you don’t always see that. I see that with Kaep,” said Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback himself. “He’s universally respected in that locker room and loved by his teammates. And guess I see that from the 25to-35 demographic, too, that are buying jerseys. So people relate to him. They like his company, they like being around him.” Kaepernick backed up Harbaugh’s switch to him from now-Chiefs QB Alex Smith last November by taking the 49ers to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years, showing his dynamic ability and versatility immediately. A 2011 second-round pick out of Nevada, the speedy, strong-armed Kaepernick was 7-3 as a starter last season with 1,814 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. He rushed for a record 181 yards with a 56-yard touchdown in the divisional playoffs against Green Bay, longest in franchise history by a quarterback.
sons to Denver’s flameout in 1996 that was followed by Super Bowl titles in 1997 and 1998, is trying to make sure there’s no sense of complacency this year. At minicamp in April, Manning said he could tell Elway was trying to create an “uncomfortable atmosphere” to keep everyone motivated. “We still kind of have a scar from losing that playoff game and I think players need to kind of be reminded of that daily,” Manning said on the first day of training camp. But there have been signs that the Broncos aren’t totally focused. Over the past month, Manning has sat back and watched the bad news unfold for Denver. First, two executives were suspended after being charged with drunken driving. Then, training camp began with AllPro linebacker Von Miller appealing a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Times like these, Manning said, are when you find out who’s with you and who isn’t. “It’s easy when you are rolling along, an 11-game winning streak, everything is good,” Manning said. “You have some adversity come your way. How do you respond? How do you handle it? I think the organization has responded. They made their statements and we’ll support those that are going through some adversity. At the same time, we’re going forward trying to win.” Even with their problems, the Broncos are expected to win. They’re the odds-on favourite to win the Super Bowl, in fact.

Harvin’s hip immediately becomes issue as Seahawks camp opens BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RENTON, Wash. — It didn’t take long for the Seattle Seahawks to face a potential injury problem. This one involving their most expensive off-season acquisition, Percy Harvin. The Seahawks’ new offensive toy has suffered an unknown hip injury that landed him on the physically unable to perform list when training camp opened Thursday. The injury is in the area of Harvin’s labrum, which has immediately drawn concern that it could be a problem that would cause Harvin to miss significant time before ever seeing the field with his new team. “Percy has a hip issue that he’s dealing with that came up over the summer. We’re trying to figure it out. We’re going to do everything we can to help him out, to make the right decision and take care of him in every way,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “He was working out just a week or so ago going full speed, but it was bothering him enough we took some looks at it.” Carroll did not rule out surgery as the solution, but he felt the team has time to get Harvin ready. “We’re going to go ahead and do it step by step right now,” Carroll said. “I know he was working full speed just a few days ago but we need to take care of him.” The Seahawks made an aggres-
sive move to bolster an already potent offence when they traded three draft picks, including their 2013 first-round selection, to Minnesota in exchange for Harvin. Then Seattle locked up Harvin long-term, signing him to a sixyear extension. Adding Harvin to an offence already featuring Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Sidney Rice immediately raised the Seahawks’ already lofty status as contenders in the NFC. Now the plans for seeing Harvin on the field could be delayed, significantly. If surgery is needed, the Seahawks could be looking at an extended period without their splashy off-season acquisition. Rice had surgery to repair the labrum in his hip before the start of the 2010 season while with Minnesota and missed more than half the season. Coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2009, Rice didn’t see the field until Week 11 of 2010. Harvin had hip issues early in the 2010 season and he missed a practice during Seattle’s June’s minicamp with what Carroll called a hip flexor issue. “Right now we need to get more information. We don’t know enough right now,” Carroll said. Despite debilitating migraines that limited his practice time early in his career with the Vikings, Harvin has been surprisingly durable, even with a rugged style of running through tacklers. Before
last season, Harvin had missed only three games in his first three seasons. Last season, Harvin suffered a severely sprained left ankle against the Seahawks on Nov. 4. He was placed on injured reserve a month later, abruptly ending a season that began so strongly. He led the NFL in total yards, including rushing, receiving and returning, at the time of his injury. Wilson didn’t seem concerned about Harvin possibly missing practice time. “Percy has played in the league for several years now. He knows football, he understands the game and we talk all the time about certain routes and things,” Wilson said. “You don’t have to always get the reps to perfect them. As long as you’re on the same page in terms of the communication level, on the same page in terms of mentally when you’re out there and what you’re seeing. Along with Harvin, Seattle also started camp with defensive end Chris Clemons (knee) and tight end Zach Miller (foot) on the PUP list. Neither move was unexpected as Clemons is continuing his recovery from knee surgery following an injury he suffered in the NFC playoffs against Washington. Carroll had no update on a timeline, other than noting Clemons’ push to make it back for the season opener.

Gay fighters make history at Seattle UFC FIRST TIME TWO OPENLY LESBIAN FIGHTERS TO FACE OF IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
She says it has upped her game, helping her train with a variety of talented women. Kids have also told her they see her as a role model. “That’s just changed my life for the better,” she said. “I never thought I’d be that person but I accept it with open arms,” she added. She feels no pressure from that role, saying she walks the proper path. She rarely drinks and says if she goes out at night, she does so responsibly. She doesn’t do drugs and takes care of her body. Carmouche has been invited to appear in several Pride parades, attend openings of LGBT centres and speak to kids. She says she believes there will be a day when her sexual orientation will no longer be an issue, pointing to the advancement of gay marriage and the
SEATTLE — Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche has already made history as the first openly gay fighter in the UFC. Now the former U.S. marine is set to do it again as she faces Brazilian Jessica Andrade in the first bout between openly lesbian fighters in the mixed martial arts organization. Carmouche still can’t quite believe it is her in the spotlight as pioneer. “I never thought after being so closeted in the marine corps to being now in the UFC that I would ever be that person, let along be somebody who could be open or be somebody that’s pioneering and knocking down doors,” said Carmouche, who fights Andrade (9-2) on Saturday’s televised UFC card at KeyArena. “So I’m just embracing every moment and just grateful that it is happening.” Andrade, a pint-sized fighter with a big smile, says she hopes she is helping open the door for othFRIDAY, JULY 26 TO THURSDAY, ers to be open about who they are and how they feel. “In the end, whatever your sexual orientation, it doesn’t affect how you work, who you are or what you do,” Andrade said through an interpreter. She too is enjoying the moment as she becomes the first Brazilian woman to fight in the UFC. Thanks to a Seattle shopping expedition, she was sporting brand new red Air Jordans on Thursday. “Kid size,” explained the interpreter. Carmouche (7-3) was thrown in the spotlight in February when she challenged bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey at UFC 157. Carmouche was submitted in the first round but not before dragging Rousey into some deep water at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The 29-year-old Carmouche is hard not to root for. While the “UFC Prices as ticketed. Off our original prices. Primetime” TV show in advance of the fight showed Rousey commuting in a luxury car, Carmouche was driving a beater with a cracked windshield.

While she still answers the phone at the San Diego Combat Academy, she Prices as ticketed. reports that quick trips to the supermarket or corner store are a thing of the past. Carmouche’s story has touched a nerve, well beyond her sexual orientation. “It never turns into anything quick, it turns into something longer,” she said. “Getting to hear people’s stories, getting to hear the way I impacted people’s lives.

That’s a huge difference.”
repealing of discriminatory laws. “I do see that day is coming,” she said. “But just like you still have racism now and you still have just people that are ignorant to everything, it’s still going to be there and I don’t think that’s going to go away.” Carmouche was originally slated to face Miesha Tate in Seattle but Tate was shifted to face Rousey in the comain event of UFC 168 on Dec. 28 in Las Vegas. Rousey and Tate will set up their rematch — Rousey won by first-round submission in Strikeforce in March 2012 — by serving as rival coaches on The Ultimate Fighter TV show. “I am bummed out,” Carmouche said of missing out on facing Tate. “I’m grateful that the UFC still kept the fight. . . . I’m still having the opportunity to fight. I wish it could have been Miesha but I’m glad I’m still in the
UFC fighting.” Andrade was in the kitchen back home in Brazil, cooking a dinner of pasta and sausage when her coach showed up at the door with news that the UFC had called. For the 21-year-old Andrade, it’s her first fight in the U.S. But she is no shrinking violet, having fought in Russia last time out. Plus she fought seven times in 2012. “I’m ready,” she said through an interpreter. “I know what to do.” Listed generously at five foot three, Andrade’s Brazilian nickname “Bate Estaca” means piledriver — she got it after being disqualified for trying the illegal move during an early Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition. The fourthyoungest fighter in the UFC, she has won seven of her last eight fights. “She may be short but she packs a good punch,” said Carmouche.

LONDON, Ont. — Erik Guay underwent minor knee surgery earlier this week after experiencing knee pain during the Canadian alpine ski team’s camp in Switzerland. Guay needed some clean-up around the meniscus of his left knee druing a procedure on Tuesday, but doctors found no ligament damage. He is targeting a return to competition in October as Canadian winter athletes gear up for the 2014 Olympics. “My knee had been feeling good and I was able to do everything in the gym with no pain. I only feel it on skis,” the native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., said.

INCIDENT BETWEEN PENHOLD COUNCILLOR, FIRE CHIEF BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A controversial Penhold town councillor has once again been slapped on the wrists following a confrontation with the local fire chief. Town council issued a letter of reprimand to Coun. Chad Hoffman following the July 15 council meeting. Hoffman said he went to the fire department without an invitation to discuss the

Hoffman said he then went to Mayor Dennis Cooper to discuss the issue and the mayor brought it up at council. Council then passed a motion to issue the reprimand.

She said 80 per cent of products in grocery stores come from about 80 companies. But a pilot project with 10 stores two years ago showed people bought 17 per cent more of the most local products with Localize tags. “I don’t think local food is going to take over. It’s more about making sure local food doesn’t disappear. “At the end of the day, I’d like to turn every grocery store into an incubator for local business,” Dear said.

The food is good because we have great local product. It’s so fresh,” said Raines who runs Starkroft near Markerville and raises sheep. Unfortunately, most consumers are mostly motivated by price, but that could be changing, she said. “I think there is enough committed people starting to ask the questions.” Raines said this won’t be the last Taste of Markerville. “We want to add maybe a Saturday night dinner, a Sunday morning brunch, maybe some entertainment in the church. Get a chef in. We have a bunch of ideas about where it’s going from here.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Local food was on the menu and was the centre of discussion led by Meghan Dear, founder of Localize, of Edmonton. “Localize grew out of a personal frustration I had about walking into a grocery store and not being able to identify what was local or even who made that product,” said Dear at an information session at the historic Markerville Lutheran Church Wednesday morning. “For me it was about how do we get grocery stores to carry more local food.” Now she works with 46 grocery stores, including some in Red Deer and Central Alberta, and almost 300 food businesses to rank and label products by looking at
ENTERPRISING AGRICULTURE TOUR
BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A Central Alberta town is about to have access to unprecedented Internet speeds. Olds residents will be able to access a gigabit per second of bandwidth after the board of O-Net, a community owned communications provider, approved giving resident access to the speedy internet access last week. O-Net runs the town’s fibre optic network, which is being built by the Olds Institute for Community and Regional Development, a non-profit in the community about 60 km south of Red Deer. Lance Douglas, O-Net president and CEO, said the plan to provide fibre-optic Internet to residents of the entire town began 10 years ago. A partnership between Olds College, the town, the local Chamber of Commerce and agricultural society created the Olds Institute. “It got to the point where they knew they had to put in fibre communications, but they thought incumbents (existing service providers) would offer services over it,” said Douglas. “After two years of back and forth negotiations fell apart, they realized they had to build their own fibre optic network.” A $2.5-million grant from the Alberta government and a $6-million loan from the Town of Olds provide the funding to establish the fibre optic network. That is how O-Net was founded and ever since 2011, Douglas has been at the helm steering the Internet provider towards providing this ultra-fast service. For the residential consumer, it will mean more than having a gig of bandwidth for as little as $57 a month. “It’s not about the fact they have a very fast means of communication,” said Doug-

las. “It means we’re open for business and we’re open for the future of business and the future of residences. “Nobody really knows what people are going to be able to do with a gig. What we’re doing is opening it up and making it affordable so it doesn’t become the roadblock for whatever it is they want to do.” If a person is bundled with television and phone through O-Net, then they get the Internet at $57 a month. It can cost as much as $90 depending on what other services they have through the locally operated company. It costs $97 to hook a business or residence up to the service. Douglas said by providing this level of service, they can help the town’s economic development through both retention of young people in the community and bringing in highly-skilled labour, a sort of “brain gain.” “Hopefully businesses can take advantage of the high-speed networks and the fact everyone in town has a high-speed network,” said Douglas. “Such as medical, engineering, technology and government.” Talking with potential users and clients, Douglas said there is local pride in the service, which is not readily available in North America. Google offered similar speeds as part of a pilot project, called Google Fiber, in Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo. Right now, O-Net has about 60 per cent coverage of the town’s property lines. When people sign up for the service, O-Net then takes it from the property line and connects it to their building. Douglas said they hope to be near 70 to 80 per cent coverage by the end of the 2013 construction season, depending on weather. “We know we will be done in 2014. For sure,” said Douglas. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com
crossings made more user-friendly
Busy pedestrian crossings in downtown Red Deer are about to become more userfriendly. Starting next week pedestrian countdown signals will be activated at nine downtown intersections. The countdown signals indicate the amount of time left for pedestrians to cross at a signalized intersection before the solid Don’t Walk indicator. “The city is piloting the countdown signals to provide more information to pedestrians, and to make downtown more pedestrian friendly,” said Engineering Services Manager Frank Colosimo. The city recently increased walk signal durations in downtown to provide pedestrian with increased opportunities for crossing at signalized intersections, and support the pedestrian recommendations made in the Mobility Playbook. In other jurisdictions, the countdown indicators have reduced the number of pedestrians completing their crossing on the solid don’t walk display, by providing a clearer indication of the time remaining to complete the crossing. The countdown signals will be installed at: ● Ross Street at 48th Avenue ● Ross Street at 49th Avenue ● Ross Street at 50th Avenue ● Ross Street at 51th Avenue ● 49th Street at 48th Avenue ● 49th Street at 49th Avenue ● 49th Street at 50th Avenue ● 49th Street at 51th Avenue ● 49th Avenue at 48th Street If residents have questions or comments about the new countdown signals, they can contact engineering@reddeer.ca.

Speed of locomotive at centre of probe BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain — By all accounts, the train was going way too fast as it curled around a gentle bend. Then in an instant, one car tumbled off the track, followed by the rest of the locomotive, which seemed to come apart like a zipper being pulled. The derailment sent pieces of the sleek train plowing across the ground in a ghastly jumble of smashed metal, dirt and smoke. But a day after Spain suffered its deadliest rail disaster in decades — which killed 80 people and maimed scores of others — one question surpassed all others: Why was the train moving so fast? Investigators opened a probe Thursday into possible failings by the 52-year-old driver and the train’s in-built speed-regulation systems. Experts said one, or both, must be at fault for the disastrous Wednesday night crash of the train that was carrying 218 passengers and five crew members to Santiago de Compostela, a destination of Catholic pilgrimage preparing to celebrate its most revered saint. Instead, this stunned city of nearly 100,000 converted its sports arena into a shelter for the dead and the grieving. “All Spaniards feel the pain of the families,� said Spain’s head of state, King Juan Carlos, as he and Queen Sofia met hospitalized survivors of the crash 2.5 miles (4 kilometres) south of Santiago de Compostela. The royal couple dressed in funereal black. “For a native of Santiago like me, this is the saddest day,� said Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who toured the crash scene and declared a national three-day mourning period. The regional government of Galicia, in northwest Spain, said 94 people remained hospitalized, 31 of them in critical condition, including four children. The U.S. State Department said one American died and at least five others were hurt but cautioned that those figures could be revised upward. Many victims suffered severe burns as the train’s diesel fuel ignited a fire that caught some passengers trapped in mangled upside-down carriages. Emergency officials took DNA samples from the most heavily burned or the unconscious in an effort to identify both the living and the dead. Rafael Catala, a senior transport official in

This combo image taken from security camera video shows clockwise from top left a train derailing in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, on Wednesday. Spanish investigators tried to determine Thursday why a passenger train jumped the tracks and sent eight cars crashing into each other just before arriving in this northwestern shrine city on the eve of a major Christian religious festival, killing at least 80 people and injuring more than 140. Spain’s Development Ministry, told radio network Cadena SER that the train appeared to be going much faster than the track’s speed limit of 80 kph (50 mph) as it approached the city. Breathtaking footage of the crash captured by a railway security camera showed the moment when the eight-carriage train approached a left bend beneath a road bridge at a seemingly impossible speed. An Associated Press analysis of the video indicated the train hit the bend going twice the speed limit or more. Using the time stamp of the video and the estimated distance between two pylons, the AP calculated that the train was moving in a range of 144 to 192 kph (89 to 119 mph). Another estimate calculated on the basis of the typical distance between railroad ties indicated its speed was between 156 kph and 182 kph
(96 to 112 mph). The anonymously posted video footage, which the Spanish railway authority Adif said probably came from one of its cameras, shows the train carriages buckling and leaving the tracks soon into the turn. Murray Hughes, consultant editor of Railway Gazette International, said a diesel-powered unit behind the lead locomotive appeared to derail first. The front engine quickly followed, violently tipping on to its right side as it crashed into a concrete wall and bulldozed along the ground. In the background, the rear carriages could be seen starting to decouple and coming off the tracks. The picture went blank as the engine appeared to crash directly into the camera. After impact, witnesses said, a fire engulfed passengers trapped in at least one carriage.
Opposition leader assassinated TUNISIA
TUNIS, Tunisia — Angry anti-government demonstrations broke out Thursday across Tunisia after gunmen killed the leader of a leftist opposition party, raising fears of new chaos on the difficult road to democracy in the cradle of the Arab Spring. Just five months after a similar assassination plunged the country into crisis, two gunmen shot Mohammed Brahmi, leader of the Popular Current party, in his car outside his home. Tunisia is struggling after overthrowing dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. Many Tunisians are fed up with the government led by the moderate Islamist ruling party, Ennahda, which appears unable to handle a faltering economy, address popular unrest over unmet expectations and crack down on a rising extremist Islamist movement. Protesters immediately blamed the latest killing on the government. Soon after news broke, crowds gathered outside the Interior Ministry in the heart of Tunis calling for its downfall. There were also demonstrations around the country, including in Sidi Bouzid, Brahmi’s impoverished home town and the birthplace of the country’s revolution. Crowds in the nearby town of Meknassi burned down the local headquarters of Ennahda, which rules in a coalition with two secular parties. The Popular Front coalition of leftist parties that included Brahmi’s called for “civil disobedience in all locations of the country until the fall of the governing coalition.� The country’s largest trade unions called for a general strike Friday that will shutter the government, public transportation and most shops freeing people up for large anti-government protests. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for Brahmi’s killing. The two attackers sped off on a
moped, according to a neighbour cited by the state news agency. The killing immediately brought to mind the assassination of Chokri Belaid, also a member of the Popular Front coalition, who was killed in his car outside his home in February. Many members of Belaid’s party hold the government responsible for his assassination, believing it either turned a blind eye to Islamist extremists or actively used them to target their opponents. The government has blamed Belaid’s assassination on Islamist militants and said that six suspects are still on the run and their names will soon be revealed. Belaid’s death prompted nationwide demonstrations and the resignation of the prime minister. The latest killing is threatening to plunge Tunisia back into the same kind of crisis. “This day signifies the death of the democratic process in Tunisia,� Nejib Chebbi of the liberal opposition Jomhouri (Republican) Party told local radio. “The government must leave.� Crowds gathered outside the hospital in a suburb of Tunis where Brahmi’s body was laid out after he was shot. They then swarmed the ambulance taking it away for the official autopsy. The Ennahda Party, which dominated legislative elections in October 2011, could be severely weakened by the latest assassination, experts said. “This is really going to put Ennahda on the spot right now,� said Laryssa Chomiak, director of the Tunis-based Institute for Maghreb Studies. “The Tunisian public was not happy with the way in which the Chokri Belaid assassination investigation was dealt with... if they mess this up, I think it’s going to be extremely bad for them, for their domestic support.�

Manulife drops Alberta for B.C. AMID CONCERN ALBERTA’S COFFERS WILL BE SLOW TO RECOVER FROM HISTORIC FLOODS BY KATIA DMITRIEVA ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES TORONTO — Manulife Asset Management, the investment arm of Canada’s largest insurer, swapped most of its Alberta bonds for British Columbia debt amid concern the province’s coffers will be slow to recover from historic floods. The $965 million Manulife bond fund reduced its allocation of debt from the nation’s foremost oil-producing region to 2.2 per cent from the 4.9 per cent it held June 10, while raising its exposure to British Columbia to 10 per cent from nine per cent. “British Columbia is in much better shape than Alberta at this time,” Terry Carr, who helps oversee $16 billion as head of Canadian fixed-income at Manulife. “In the near-term, they are in a surplus situation, while Alberta is going to be in a defi-
cit situation.” Alberta’s government committed $1 billion to pay for relief from the worst flood in the province’s history as Premier Alison Redford said plans to balance the provincial budget next year would be delayed. Insured losses to the province from the June flooding may total $2.25 billion to $3.75 billion, according to Bank of Montreal. Uncertainty over the negative financial impact on the province, including its top credit rating and ability to meet its budget goals, is keeping Manulife away, Carr said. Alberta bonds returned 0.5 per cent through July 18 from June 21 when the province evacuated 75,000 people as water levels rose, while British Columbia bonds gained 0.9 per cent, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch data. British Columbia 10-year bonds outperformed comparable Alberta debt by one to four basis points since June 10, Carr said.

Six named to energy regulator
Eurozone facing possible economic shock The International Monetary Fund is warning the 17 eurozone countries that their economies face a possible severe downturn unless more is done to improve growth and ease political tensions. In an annual review released Thursday, the Washington DC-based international lending agency says the countries using the euro have gone some way to boosting confidence in their monetary union’s longterm viability. However, “recovery remains elusive” for the region because tensions in financial markets, high borrowing costs for small businesses in the weaker economies and reticence by consumers to spend, the IMF says. — The Canadian Press and The Associated Press
Flooding in Calgary, where most of Canada’s oil companies are headquartered, and the province’s south will slow growth to 2 per cent from a previously forecast 2.5 per cent, Michael Gregory, senior economist in Toronto at BMO, said in a July 2 note to clients. As Alberta and its insurers tally the costs of flooding damage, oil-sands companies are grappling with the challenges of bringing rising crude production to market amid delays in pipeline projects such as TransCanada Corp.’s $5.3 billion Keystone XL. Canadian energy companies have underperformed U.S. peers by 55 percentage points on Standard & Poor’s indexes during the past three years as Western Canada Select oil prices averaged $19.53 a barrel less than the U.S. benchmark, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

EDMONTON — The provincial government has appointed six people with varied backgrounds to serve as commissioners for the Alberta Energy Regulator. The appointees have experience in farming, drinking water safety, environmental law and public service. They will sit on panels, conduct hearings and preside over energy project applications, reconsiderations, inquiries and appeals. Bringing their farming experience to the regulator are Terry Engen and Jurgen Preugschas (YUR’-gen PROYG’-shas). Steve Hrudey, professor emeritus at the University of Alberta, is a recognized authority on drinking water safety and environmental contaminants. Cecilia Low and Lorne Ternes practise environmental, aboriginal and trade law, while John Lawson served for more than 21 years with the Yukon government.

People walk past a commercial property along Lakeshore Drive in Sylvan Lake Thursday. The Town of Sylvan Lake is seeking to attract businesses to vacant buildings in the downtown area of the town.
Sylvan Lake looking to fill local voids in shopping BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Red Deer is the natural shopping place for Sylvan Lake residents who work in the city, right? Wrong, according to a recent survey conducted by the town. Of the nearly 500 people who participated in the study, more than 82 per cent indicated a preference for shopping close to home. “I thought that was great,” said Vicki Kurz, Sylvan Lake’s economic development officer. What’s needed is an increased awareness of the local shopping op-
tions, and businesses that can fill the voids that currently exist. This was part of the motivation for the town’s “downtown goods and services gap analysis survey.” Respondents were asked a variety of questions, including what products and services they would like to see in Sylvan Lake’s downtown. Kurz is currently compiling the results of the survey, which wrapped up recently after about two months. She hopes to have some answers for town council by the end of August, but has already noted a few trends.

Business confidence slides In a reversal of trends, business confidence in Alberta slipped in July while the national outlook brightened. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reported on Thursday that its most recent monthly survey of small and medium-sized businesses found that optimism in Alberta had decreased 1.8 points to 66.8, on a 100-point scale. Meanwhile, the national index climbed nearly five points, to 64.2. “The July results really tell two different stories,” said Richard Truscott, the CFIB’s Alberta director. “Nationally, the news is good, and clearly shows entrepreneurs across the country have become considerably more confident overall. Unfortunately, the index in Alberta is starting to drift a bit in the opposite direction.” Truscott said the Alberta numbers can be attributed in part to the Southern Alberta floods. But he also pointed out that the percentage of respondents who described the general state of their business’s
health as “good” or “bad” held relatively steady in July — at 47 and eight per cent respectively. Despite the soured mood of Alberta entrepreneurs, they were the second most optimistic group in the country. Saskatchewan led the way at 71.2, with Newfoundland and Labrador trailing Alberta at 66.7. Next was Ontario (66.5), British Columbia (64.9), New Brunswick (58.9), Manitoba (58), Nova Scotia (57), Quebec (56.4) and Prince Edward Island (49.2). Thirty-one per cent of Alberta’s independent business owners surveyed said they intended to hire full-time staff in the next three months, compared to only six per cent who predicted a reduction. Thirty-nine per cent identified the shortage of skilled labour as the biggest factor limiting growth. The CFIB, which has more than 109,000 members, said index levels normally range between 65 and 75 when the economy is growing.
Monday Kelowna flights added Red Deer’s aerial connection to Kelowna, B.C. will grow a little stronger next month. Northwestern Air Lease Ltd. announced on Thursday that it will add Monday flights between the Red Deer and Kelowna airports, beginning Aug. 5. The Fort Smith, N.W.T. airline currently offers scheduled passenger service between the two cities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Red Deer passengers can continue on to Abbotsford, B.C. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays
NORTHWESTERN AIR LEASE and Sundays. “We’ve seen strong demand for Kelowna,” said Tomas Chlumecky, Northwestern’s general manager. “Seats on our fiveday-per-week existing schedule were starting to become limited, so we are pleased to add another day and continue to serve the region with another flight to Kelowna.” The new Monday flights will leave the Red Deer Airport at 12:30 p.m. and return at 3:45
p.m. In addition to the B.C. destinations, Northwestern flies directly from Red Deer to Fort McMurray on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Earlier this month, Air Canada announced that it will offer three flights daily from the Red Deer Airport to the Calgary International Airport, commencing Sept. 3. Air Georgian will provide this service under the Air Canada Express brand.
The Petroleum Services Association of Canada has scaled back its forecast of drilling activity for 2013. The national trade association, which represents the service, supply and manufacturing sectors in the upstream petroleum industry, said Thursday that it now expects 11,415 wells to be drilled in Canada this year. That’s down five per cent from the 12,000 wells PSAC was anticipating as of April. Mark Salkeld, the association’s president and CEO, said in a release that the sector experienced a wetter-than-normal spring, which extended the annual seasonal slowdown. The new estimate would still represent a 3.5 per cent increase over the 11,025 wells drilled in 2012, and a slight improvement on PSAC’s original 2013 forecast of 11,400 wells, issued last November. Salkeld said the industry is operating at a healthy pace, with a number of factors affecting drilling. “Among those having the biggest impact are ongoing low gas prices, current higher prices for oil and tightening of the differential (between world and Western Canadian prices), which has resulted in some uptick in the number of oil wells being drilled as industry shifts their operations toward oil plays,” he said. “Overall, the expected levels of drilling activity, coupled with increasing efforts to get product to new markets, points strongly to a positive sign for steady growth over the next few years.” PSAC said its forecast was based on an average crude oil price of US$90 a barrel (WTI), an average natural gas price of C$3.40 per thousand cubic feet (AECO) and the Canadian dollar averaging US$1. On a provincial basis, PSAC is now anticipating that there will be 7,563 wells drilled in Alberta this year, down five per cent from its April prediction of 7,190. The count for Saskatchewan is expected to be 3,081, down six per cent from the earlier forecast of 3,286; drilling in Manitoba is projected to produce 613 wells, down 8.5 per cent from 670; and the association is now calling on British Columbia to contribute 506 wells in 2013, an 11 per cent jump from its earlier prediction of 457. PSAC represents nearly 250 companies, with these employing more than 80,000 people.
TRAVEL BUSINESS
Uniglobe buys Vista Travel Ltd. BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR Retirement usually brings increased opportunities for travel. But for Ivan and Patricia Woit, the opposite may be true. The longtime owners of Red Deer’s Vista Travel Ltd. have sold their business to Uniglobe Beacon Travel, which runs Uniglobe Mills Travel in Red Deer. Vista and Uniglobe Mills’ operations will be combined at Uniglobe Mills’ new premises at 3020 32nd St. (East Hill Centre), effective Aug. 6. Ivan Woit has worked in the local travel industry since 1968, and calculates that he’s visited 92 countries. He and his wife Patricia regularly join their clients on cruises. “We’ve probably done 15 or 20 cruises with these groups,” said Woit. Vista has been at Parkland Mall for 39 years, and became affiliated with international travel management company Carlson Wagonlit Travel in 1999. One of Vista’s founders, Woit decided to sell only recently. “My lease was coming up at the end of August, and my Carlson Wagonlit association was coming due, so it was kind of an opportune time.” It was important that Vista clients continue to be well-served, he said, and Uniglobe Mills seemed like a good option in this regard. Woit’s daughter Lisa will remain involved as a member of Uniglobe Mills. Woit said he’s seen a lot of changes during his 45 years in the industry. “At one time, our back room was loaded with brochures in files on all of the countries and cities, and descriptive literature on everything.” The Internet made such paper resources unnecessary. Similarly, clients who once visited travel agencies to learn about vacation options now do their research online. But, added Woit, many seek the security of a travel agent when it’s time to book. He’s also noticed a change in the relationships that travel agents have.

The S&P/TSX composite index dipped 3.16 points to 12,669.14 after earnings released from Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) and Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) beat expectations. But global fertilizer producer PotashCorp (TSX:POT) weighed on the exchange as it missed expectations and lowered its 2013 profit forecast. The Canadian dollar rose 0.49 of a cent to 97.43 cents US. U.S. indexes turned higher amid earnings from General Motors and Facebook that also beat expectations and the Dow Jones industrials edged up 13.37 points to 15,555.61. The Nasdaq gained 25.59 points to 3,605.19 and the S&P 500 index was up 4.31 points to 1,690.25. Teck (TSX:TCK.B) reported a second-quarter adjusted profit of $197 million or 34 cents a share, down sharply from $398 million of profit a year ago but three cents above estimates. One of Canada’s largest coal producers and a major miner of copper, zinc and other commodities, Teck said it’s increasing cost-reduction efforts to deal with lower prices for its products. Its shares advanced 72 cents to $24.41. Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) gained 57 cents to $30.15 as it said quarterly profit rose 40 per cent from a year ago to $605 million or 59 cents a share. Earnings ex-items were 62 cents, five cents better than estimates. Meanwhile, Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) reported a US$1.93-billion
net loss in the second quarter, as it was hit by a massive writedown of its Penasquito mine in Mexico due to the falling price of gold and its impact on the project’s exploration potential. The Vancouver-based mining company says it would have been profitable in the second quarter without the writedown, but its adjusted earnings were still down from last year and missed analyst estimates. Its shares lost 39 cents to $28.85. Shares in PotashCorp (TSX:POT) fell 82 cents to $38.35 after it cut its profit estimate for the current year and reported a quarterly profit of $643 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, up from $522 million, or 60 cents per share a year ago. The results missed estimates for a profit of 79 cents per share. In the U.S., General Motors says second-quarter net income fell 16 per to $1.26 billion or 75 cents a share cent as slowing international profits and losses in Europe offset strong North American earnings. Still, GM soundly beat Wall Street expectations. Excluding one-time items, it made 84 cents per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 75 cents. Revenue was up four per cent to just over $39 billion, beating Wall Street’s estimate of $37.7 billion and GM shares lost early momentum and headed down six cents to $37.08. Facebook shares rocketed up 29.6 per cent to US$34.35 after the social network company said that it earned $333 million, or 13 cents per share, in the April-June period, up from a loss of $157 million, or eight cents per share, a year ago. Adjusted earnings were $488 million, or 19 cents per share, above the 14 cents

AGENTS: Personal connection Specifically, said Woit, they don’t have the same personal connection to suppliers like airlines that they once did. “We still have that personal one-toone with clients,” he pointed out. “That’s probably the most enjoyable thing of our whole industry.” Woit said he and Patricia will remain in Red Deer. “I’ve got a few projects that I’m working on,” he said, hinting that some may be travel-related and tied to Uniglobe Mills. “I may continue doing that as something to keep me interested and keep my foot in the door a little bit.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

cent of respondents worked in Red Deer, a figure that has actually come down from the past. Sixty-nine per cent were between the ages of 25 and 54 — a prime age for consumers. Kurz said the results can be used to entice businesses, such as franchises, to come to Sylvan Lake. “That was the idea, was to get the ammo for that particular initiative.” Without this information, some entrepreneurs might be reluctant to set up shop in the resort town, she explained. “I don’t think they have the data to support a business case.” Another compelling piece of data is Sylvan Lake’s rapid growth, said Kurz. The local consumer base continues to expand quickly. The hope is that new businesses will populate vacant space downtown. As of May 1, the vacancy rate there was just over 10 per cent. hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com
YIELD: Gap widens on debt holdings Elsewhere in credit markets, the extra yield investors demand to own the debt of Canadian investment-grade corporations rather than the federal government widened last week to 124 basis points, or 1.24 percentage points, from 123 basis points on July 12, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Canada Corporate Index. Yields fell to 3.09 per cent on July 19, from 3.15 per cent a week earlier. Spreads on provincial bonds expanded to 72 basis points, from 71 the week before, according to Bank of America’s Canadian Provincial & Municipal Index. Yields fell to 2.88 per cent, from 2.93 per cent on July 12, Bank of America index data show. Provincial securities have lost 1.9 per cent this year, while federal-government bonds have dropped 1.7 per cent, the data show. Corporate bonds
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Canadians are richer than ever, even if they also have nearrecord debt. A new report by Environics Analytics puts Canadian household net worth at the start of the year at over $400,000 for the first time in history — although it only rose above the mark by $151. The average household’s net worth grew by 5.8 per cent at the end of last year from $378,093 at the end of 2011 thanks to a 5.4 per cent gain in liquid assets and a 5.1 per cent increase in real estate values, the report says. Meanwhile, debt rose by a relatively modest 3.3 per cent. The new calculation keeps Canadian households ahead of their U.S. counterparts in terms of net worth for the sixth straight year — C$400,151 compared with US$381,086. At the time, the two dollars were worth about the same but Canada’s loonie has since lost ground to the U.S. greenback. At current rates, the U.S. net worth would be equivalent to C$391,871. The gap has also narrowed since the end of 2011 — in part because Canadian households continued to borrow and American household debt actually
declined 2.4 per cent. Analysts note, however, that along with a lot of debt, Canadians hold real assets, particularly the highest level of home ownership in history. Home prices in most parts of Canada have steadily risen despite a weak economy, and equity markets have recovered most of the losses sustained during the 2008-09 recession. The data shows households in Regina had the biggest jump in net worth last year, rising 11.2 per cent to $391,826. That was fuelled by the strongest growth in real estate holdings among cities and the second fastest rise in liquid assets, behind Saskatoon, Environics Analytics said. Hamilton experienced the second fastest growth in net worth among major cities, up 9.5 per cent to $420,515. Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto remain Canada’s wealthiest cities. Provincially, the report singles out Saskatchewan households as the big gainers in 2012 in terms of net worth, an increase of 7.6 per cent to $351,865, as liquid assets grew by 7.4 per cent and real estate holdings by 7.7 per cent. The improvement was achieved despite a 7.4 per cent uptick in average household debt to $100,437.
BlackBerry cutting 250 staff BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — BlackBerry (TSX:BB) has given layoff notices to 250 workers at its product testing facility in Waterloo, Ont., where the global smartphone company is based. The employees, who supported the company’s manufacturing, research and development efforts, were notified on Tuesday. “This is part of the next stage of our turnaround plan to increase efficiencies and scale our company correctly for new opportunities in mobile computing. We will be as transparent as possible as those plans evolve,” the company said in an email. The company announced plans last
year to cut about 5,000 employees jobs as part of its restructuring efforts. BlackBerry is trying to recover a stronger position in the highly competitive smartphone market with its new BlackBerry 10 line of phones and operating system. At the company’s annual general meeting earlier this month, CEO Thorsten Heins told shareholders that BlackBerry is in the midst of a “complex transition” that included a threestage plan to become profitable again. BlackBerry shares fell below $10 earlier this month for the first time since last year. The company has been under pressure since it posted quarterly results last month that fell short of analysts’ largely optimistic expectations.
Co-operators General Insurance falls to Q2 loss due to Alberta flood BY THE CANADIAN PRESS GUELPH, Ont. — Co-operators General Insurance Company (TSX:CCS. PR.C) fell from a second-quarter profit to a loss largely due to costs incurred due to widespread flooding in Alberta last month. The Guelph, Ont.,-based firm reported a net loss of $5.9 million or 56 cents per share during the quarter. That’s down from a profit of $64.4 million or $2.91 per share during the same period last year. The company said it lost around $77
million before taxes as a result of the Alberta floods, even after collecting reinsurance. The company’s direct written premiums, which indicates the amount of premiums collected before deducting premiums sent to reinsurers, grew by 4.3 per cent, or $25.1 million, to $612.5 million. “Our financial results reflect the challenges we faced during the second quarter, most significantly the estimated $77 million loss resulting from the catastrophic events in Alberta,” said president and chief executive Kathy Bardswick.

Wind power is growing NASA wants spacesuit Small villages and towns, in remote locations around the world, in most cases generate their own power. Generally this involves diesel or natural gas fired generators and with the cost of fuel rising steadily this represents an increased tax burden on the inhabitants. It is in this light that a company in San Diego, Uprise Energy, has developed a Portable Power Centre, PPC, to harness wind power and supplement or replace the use of fossil fuel driven generators. The PPC uses the latest in control technology and wind monitoring to develop a unit which fits in a sea can and can be towed in by a pickup truck. With its advanced Energy Conversion System, ECS, it is stated that it can produce 50kW of power in 20 km/h winds. This works out to 15 average homes at 20 km/h winds increasing to 71 homes with 32 km/h winds Once folded out from its container the turbine stands 24 meters (80 ft.) tall with a weight of 8400kg. (12000 lb.) Using proven horizontal axis technology and a proprietary Sweep Twist Adaptive Rotor (STAR) it has impressive outputs at relatively low wind speeds and its small foot print will allow for portability, making it a viable contender to supplement remote small town power generation capability. Using advanced storage technologies, its usability can be designed to overcome periods of low wind. HAWT, or horizontal axis wind turbine, form the image that comes to mind when we think of wind generation. HAWT is the design used in the vast majority of wind turbines that dot Alberta’s landscape at Trochu, Stettler, Drumheller, Pincher Creek, etc. they

ENERGY are the work horse of the wind industry. So far, all the advanced concepts and vertical axis wind turbine, VAWT, design developments, as of yet have not been able to compete with the cost effectiveness, and reliability that the HAWT has been able to provide. Wind power has been used for centuries, now with modern technologies there seems to be a plethora of inventions that make extraordinary claims. It is vital to confirm these assertions with some simple considerations. Is there a working prototype? Does it make an extravagant claim the design exceeds the long established Betz limit for energy harvesting from wind? Has independent testing from an accredited third party been done to confirm the manufactures claims and determine the actual, not the projected, energy outputs. Enter Sandia National Laboratories, this Albuquerque based facility has tested Uprise Energy’s portable power center claims for power output. With confirmation of power output and design concept of the first prototypes in place, they stand a good chance of becoming a player in the remote site, energy generation field. Although design and testing is ongoing, with verification by independent sources, viable

repair kit on Russian rocket BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA is rushing to get spacesuit repair tools on a launch to the International Space Station this weekend. Last week, an Italian astronaut almost drowned in his flooded helmet while performing a spacewalk. NASA is still uncertain why water leaked into the helmet worn by Luca Parmitano last Tuesday. But if spare parts are on board, then these repair tools will be useful in swapping out the bad pieces. The Russian supply ship is set to blast off Saturday from Kazakhstan The spacesuit trouble is thought to be somewhere in the cooling system. The tools could be used on a variety of parts, including a water relief valve

Rush Drummer Neil Peart plays as front man Geddy Lee is projected in on a giant screen behind him at the Centrium on Wednesday. The concert, originally planned for the Calgary Saddle Dome was moved to the Centrium after flooding in Calgary. All proceeds from the show will go to the Canadian Red Cross for Flood Relief.
Rush takes fans on audio-visual thrill-ride Rush rolled into Red Deer on Wednesday night with enough steampunk gadgetry, eye-popping pyrotechnics and Monty Python-style animation to hold a nearly full-house Centrium crowd transfixed for 2 ½ hours. Some 7,000 fans from across Alberta packed the local arena to the rafters to hear the band’s complex, hard-driving, progressive rock. They were unexpectedly taken on an audiovisual thrill-ride, thanks to video clips that mirrored the group’s futuristic and political song themes. Among the more bizarre, imaginative images projected onto a screen behind the musicians were turning cogs and gears of an astrological clock, a chicken mascot with a megaphone, and a cardboard sea with a steamboat churning on the waves. LANA There was also a convoMICHELIN luted city that mathematical graphic artist M.C. Escher could have designed, streams of CGI lighting, and a clip of a Frankenstein-ian scientist assembling a headless musician, piece by piece. Geddy Lee made a lasting first impression with some triple-threat multi-tasking. Impressively, he played keyboards on stage while also alternating on bass guitar and singing Rush’s hit about misfits, Subdivisions. The appreciative roar from fans was deafening. Fists were pumped in the air, rock fingers were raised. The bro-heavy audience of mostly fathers and sons would have gathered in Calgary for the Rush experience, had the Saddledome not been flooded. Out of Calgary’s misfortune, Red Deer inadvertently got what many band fanatics will consider the concert of a lifetime.
REVIEW
Even non-devotees, like me, who mostly appreciated Rush’s radio hits, couldn’t help developing a deeper respect for the Canadian supergroup after watching the musicians’ mind-blowing musicianship. Besides Lee’s considerable musical skills, guitarist Alex Lifeson created a range of unbelievable sounds, from jazzy to sitar-like riffs, through nimble and complex finger work. This was especially evident on Where’s My Thing? and the other instrumental, YYZ. Neil Peart manned one of the biggest drum sets I’ve ever seen — consisting of 20-plus drums and cymbals. Amazingly, he pounded every last rim and skin during his relentlessly rapid, five-minute solos. Peart’s concentration was so intense he never cracked a smile. Conversely, Lee couldn’t stop smiling — he obviously still enjoyed being in front of an audience, 45 years on. The singer’s controversial high-pitched voice has mellowed over the years. The nearly 60-year-old once blamed for “wailing” songs now has to occasionally stretch to hit the highest notes. But Lee, who has filled out his richer lower register, maintains an eternally youthful stage presence, jumping around like a man half his age. Many audience members sported T-shirts referring to Rush’s benefit concert in Red Deer. Gate proceeds will go to the Red Cross to help with flood relief expenses. “It’s an important thing that we gather together to help our neighbours — and as Canadians we are all neighbours,” said Lee, to more screams of approval. But altruism aside, most fans came for the music, and were not shortchanged. Rush performed The Big Money, an anti-commercialism tune, as well as Force 10, accompanied by images of hurricane and tornadoes. Grand Designs came with a cool light show, while Territories was performed to CGI animation of floating balloons and satellites. The Analog Kid, Far Cry, and Bravado, one of
Rush’s more beautiful songs about taking chances in life, all were performed early in the program — as was the hit Limelight, which got a predictably huge reaction. After intermission, the band mostly played tunes from the latest Clockwork Angels album. Some were fairly forgettable, but others had staying power — most notably the title track, which featured a gorgeous melody and a memorable video of angel wings. Caravan and Carnies arrived with columns of sparkly pyrotechnics and bursts of fire, as well as strong performances by the Clockwork Angels Strings Ensemble of violinists and cellists. The young musicians added extra energy and lyricism to the second half of the concert. The Wreckers was accompanied by a spectacular light show showered down on the audience like a pelting rain storm. Seven Cities of Gold featured a vaguely Asian melody line, while Rush got about as mellow as the band ever gets on The Garden, a lovely song about the measure of life. Fans got some gloomy end-of-days prophetizing on Manhattan Project and Red Sector A, before finally getting to hear another Rush hit — the irrepressible Spirit of Radio, which wrapped up the concert. The band’s best-known single, Tom Sawyer, was delivered as an encore before the musicians launched into yet more instrumentals. It says everything about Rush’s loyal following that there was no bad behaviour from fans when the 8 p.m. concert was bumped back to 9 p.m. because of technical difficulties, and didn’t end until midnight (including a 20-minute intermission that allowed the aging rockers to re-charge). Despite its length, barely anyone left the concert even one song early. When Lee finally bade everyone good night, he said, “until we meet somewhere in the world.” Maybe it will even be in Red Deer again. Hopefully next time, Rush won’t arrive by accident or necessity. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Classical music festival a summer tradition BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE PROMS
LONDON — Some people go to the seashore during the summer. Some go to the countryside. Roger Wright goes to Royal Albert Hall. As the BBC’s man in charge of the Proms, which proudly bills itself as the world’s largest classical music festival, Wright makes repeated trips to the hall on each of 57 consecutive days of concerts. A typical schedule might include an early-morning logistics consult with members of his 25-person team, then a chat with concertgoers who have lined up overnight for cheap seats. He’s likely to pop over for midday rehearsals, then back again to his box to entertain guests at the evening performance and visit backstage with the performers. “People say, ‘How do you do it?,”’ Wright said at his office at the BBC Broadcasting House near Portland Place, three miles across London from the hall. “We all work amazingly hard and put in incredible hours, but it’s the sort of thing where work and hobby and passion sort of overlap. So you wouldn’t choose naturally to work 20 hours a day, nor should people, but some of those working hours are also about, my God, getting paid to have the privilege of hearing these wonderful concerts.” His eyes light up as he talks of the past weekend, when conductors Antonio Pappano, Valery Gergiev and Daniel Barenboim were “all overlapping and mixing backstage. The joy of the National Youth Orchestra of the U.S. (conducted by Gergiev) making its debut appearance and them being able to sit in on the rehearsal of Die Walkuere (the Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Barenboim) — that’s really special.” The Royal Albert Hall, an enormous circular domed building in South Kensington facing onto
Hyde Park, was built during Queen Victoria’s reign and is named for her late husband. It originally could hold up to 9,000 people, but safety rules now limit the number to about 5,500. For the Proms that figure includes up to 900 who stand in the “arena” — the main floor from which all seats are removed. In theory, that audience is free to stroll about, or “promenade” — hence the term. Tickets for the arena are sold the day of the concert and go for just 5 (about $7.60). “That is what the Proms in the end is all about,” Wright said. “There’s something very simple about just taking out a 5 note and paying cash.” Pricier seats can cost up to about $100. The Proms — a London fixture since 1895 and held at the Royal Albert Hall since 1941 — cost about $14 million to put on. About $6 million of that is recouped in ticket sales, the rest coming out of the BBC’s budget, which in turn is funded from a tax or “licensing fee” on every household with television. The current rate, set by the government, is about $220 annually for homes with a colour TV. One might think that the hall, given its vast dimensions, would be a poor venue for classical music and opera. But the surprising quality of the unamplified acoustics was evident during Tuesday night’s performance of Wagner’s Walkuere, part of the first Ring cycle ever done in a single season at the Proms. The orchestral climaxes thundered through the hall, yet the quiet moments stood out as well — the tender cello solo in Act 1, or bass-baritone Bryn Terfel whispering some of his lines as Wotan. Even more astonishing was the deafening roar of the audience erupting in cheers at the end of each act.
Wright recounts how Barenboim told the orchestra of his experience years ago accompanying baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in Schubert’s Die Winterreise. “I was concerned as a pianist how it would be,” Wright quoted Barenboim as telling the musicians. “But you know, I learned you don’t have to project to the 27th row. The 27th row can come to us.” Though the Proms last 57 days, there are actually more than 90 concerts, since many days there are lunchtime and late night events, and a few are held in different venues. Most are classical music, but new this summer are an appearance by a rock group (the Stranglers) and programs devoted entirely to gospel music and urban pop. Wright plans his schedule three to four years in advance, fielding hundreds of pitches from composers, artists, orchestras, publishers and agents. “Unfortunately I spend more of my time saying ‘no’ than ‘yes,”’ Wright said. “The only thing you can be certain of is that whether it’s a piece for baroque flute or for 100 orchestras and 23 choirs, there will always be a line in their proposal which will say, ‘And this would be perfect for the Proms.”’ Wright, 56, has run the festival since 2008, but it’s not his only job. He’s also controller of Radio 3, the live music and arts station that broadcasts every Proms concert. (Many are televised as well.) And he’s responsible for the five BBC orchestras and full-time professional choir. This year the gala Last Night concert is on Sept. 7. So how does Wright’s life change on Sept. 8? For one thing, he’ll get to reacquaint himself with his wife, Rosie, and their two children. “I remind my family of my name and my presence,” he said, “and I don’t set the alarm. That’s the most important thing.”

Putting together comedy festival a juggling act BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — Putting on what’s billed as the biggest comedy festival in the world is nothing short of a juggling act, suggests the president of Just For Laughs. “Every year we’re actually amazed that it flies given the amount of hurdles,” says Andy Nulman, reeling off the behind-the-scenes details that glue things together at the bilingual event before the first joke is cracked. “We know the difficulties of convincing talent, of selling television shows, of selling sponsorships, of getting grants, of selling tickets, of people doing things you wouldn’t want to know about (before) they have to be on stage.” Things even got as strange as bailing a comedian out of jail and fending off RCMP officers who once came to the event looking for a performer named Chuck Wood.

BRIEF Piano works featured at First Thursdays Piano works ranging from Bach’s to Bartok’s will be performed at the
next First Thursdays in the Snell concert in downtown Red Deer. Students from the piano classes of Ted Isenor will perform a varied program from 12:15 to 1 p.m. in the Snell Auditorium, downstairs at the Red Deer Public Library. Coffee and tea will be provided courtesy of Café Noir. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted.
They insisted he hadn’t cleared immigration. The officers were informed Wood was a ventriloquist’s dummy. “We are building a house of cards,” Nulman said. “What you do in the previous year has no relevance. It’s like a spin of a roulette wheel.” The 31st annual edition of the festival runs until Sunday. Over the years it has sprawled out from a one-night theatre show to include offshoots such as Zoofest and Off-JFL as well as events in cities including Toronto and Chicago. Among other activities, it also has a TV production arm which pumps out Just For Laughs Gags, a prank show which Nulman says gets five million hits per day on the Internet alone. This year’s big success is a series of sold-out festival shows by comic Dave Chappelle. The event had barely tweeted it on social media before people started snatching up tickets. More shows had to be added with the final number settling at 10 performances. www.carnivalcinemas.net 5402-47 St. Red Deer MOVIE LINE 346-1300 MAN OF STEEL 3D

The horrific July 2007 attack by two intruders on the Petit family (William Petit, his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, and their daughters, Michaela and Hayley) at its Cheshire, Conn., home goes right to the essence of a core American fear, an abject anxiety that motivates some of us to buy alarm systems and handguns. Once in a while, evil really does come right through the front door, violating all sense of security, community and justice. ‘‘THE CHESHIRE Kate Davis and David Heilbroner’s The MURDERS’ . . . Cheshire Murders, a IS NOT ONLY AN powerful and unforgettably thorough HBO EXPLORATION OF documentary, is not WHAT HAPPENED . only an exploration of what happened (diffi. . IT ALSO INVITES cult questions linger, A FRANK AND particularly about the response of the town’s REMARKABLY police to the initial 911 EVEN-HANDED call), it also invites a DISCUSSION OF frank and remarkably even-handed discusWHAT SORT OF sion of what sort of PUNISHMENT punishment could ever fit the crime. COULD EVER FIT The Cheshire Murders THE CRIME.’ lands at a strange and hair-triggered moment in our culture: fresh off the unsatisfying but legally inevitable conclusion to the George Zimmerman trial in Florida (and President Obama’s news conference Friday calling for more soul-searching on the matter), we next leapt into a heated debate over Rolling Stone magazine’s cover treatment of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. These three unrelated matters nevertheless invite the same level of moral outrage. The Cheshire Murders, which Davis and Heilbroner spent years filming, walks us through a story that is difficult to stomach and potentially volatile. But unlike crime-fixated narrative news programs (Dateline and its ilk), the filmmakers find a more deliberate and calm way to ask the hardest question of all: do Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky, the men who murdered Hawke-Petit and her daughters (and bludgeoned Petit to near death), deserve to die? If you’re tempted to holler OF COURSE! in quick reply and then click a link to some fresh atrocity, go ahead; The Cheshire Murders, with its determination to hear all sides, is probably not for you. For the rest of us, The Cheshire Murders, is another one of those HBO documentaries that will affect you long after you’ve seen it. The Cheshire Murders begins by recounting the crime: a bank manager calls 911 and tells a dispatcher that a frightened customer (Hawke-Petit, seen on security footage) has withdrawn $15,000 and told a teller that she and her family have been held hostage all night in their home. One of her captors is waiting for her in the car in the parking lot. She gets in the car, and it leaves. According to dispatch logs shown in the film, police arrived outside the Petit house within minutes and set up a perimeter. Yet, over the next 20 to 30 minutes, Hawke-Petit was raped and strangled; Michaela, 11, had been sexually assaulted; she and her sister Hayley, 17, were tied to their beds and doused in gasoline; their barely conscious father was escaping from the basement and into the back yard, just as Hayes and Komisarjevsky set the house ablaze and attempted to flee. They were almost immediately apprehended by waiting officers; trapped inside the house, the girls died of smoke inhalation. For the first third of the film, it seems this is what The Cheshire Murders will be about — an inquiry into what appears to be bungled police procedure. Hawke-Petit’s sister, Cindy Hawke-Renn, is especially persuasive on this point, considering it her duty to press officials for more details, which they still won’t share. Petit, an endocrinologist, survived his injuries and, through his grief, established a foundation in his wife and daughters’ memory, returning to court day after day to insist justice be served. It would be easy for The Cheshire Murders to simply draw on our tendency to be transfixed by details of such crimes and aftermath. In the modern intersection of heinous acts and nonfiction storytelling, we’ve had this hunger since Truman Capote went to Kansas in 1959 to nose around the Clutter family murders. Instead, Davis and Heilbroner use the back third of their film to revisit the death-penalty issue — which includes brave conversations with HawkePetit’s parents (her father is a minister), who seem to personify the argument that personal grief can drastically alter your opinion; once someone you love is viciously murdered, the debate is no longer abstract. Although Hayes and Komisarjevsky offered to plead guilty in exchange for permanent imprisonment, prosecutors pursued the death penalty on behalf of the family and, most significantly, our society’s sense of putting it right. Even if you’re firmly decided on this, arguments for and against executing the men are equally compelling. More provocatively, The Cheshire Murders digs deep to produce a full and, at times, heartbreaking portrait of the killers. It’s clear that we live in a hyper-media era, in which a quest for knowledge is easily confused with an act of glamorizing criminals. The Cheshire Murders is proof that such forms of documentary journalism are vital to our understanding of who we are — who we all are, even the worst among us.

CAMERON Ronald Glen Jan. 11, 1926 - July 3, 2013 Ron passed away hours after a massive stroke. Ron was born in Delburne, Alberta to Lillian Carter and George Cameron. He joined the military at seventeen and was shipped out to Ontario for training. He never saw action in World War II but made a lifelong friend in a fellow Albertan, John Vlchek. In 1944, he married Alice Grace Blades and they traveled with Gulf Oil completing geological maps of Alberta and their first child, Douglas was born in Pincher Creek. In 1958, Ron and Grace settled down to farm in the Delburne area and had two more children, Diane and Robin.

He was an avid hunter and displayed his trophies in the front porch of his Ross Street home. He was a member of the Trochu Rifle and Pistol Club and the Red Deer Rock and Gem Club. Ron participated annually in the Alberta Black Powder Cannon Shoot. In later life his interest in Western Canadian history led him to participate in historical re-enactments of the Riel Rebellion at Fort Normandeau and in other locations in Western Canada. Throughout his life, Ron enjoyed working in his shop where he made knives and was an amateur gunsmith. He embraced his Scottish heritage and hosted many a Robbie Burns party at his home. Through these activities he made many friends and acquaintances who supported him into his senior years. Ron is survived by his son; Douglas of Red Deer; his daughter Diane, h e r h u s b a n d D r.
