MIRACLE TREAT DAY

Pythons a no-no in province

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF The kind of giant python believed to have asphyxiated two young New Brunswick boys is not allowed as a pet in Alberta for good reason, said a retired teacher who ran a school zoo in Rocky Mountain House for 25 years. “That is a serious tragedy. ANIMALS SEIZED It’s too bad that FROM PET STORE A6 the snake got loose and that people have that kind of snake in their possession,� said Alfred von Hollen, who oversaw Pioneer Middle School’s zoo, which had up to seven pythons at one time, and gave hundreds of presentations to other schools.

Big snakes like the rock python are “unreliable� and have no place outside licensed facilities, he said.

Years of experience handling big snakes taught him to recognize the signs a snake was feeling out of sorts and should be left alone, he said. “I knew if they started to show any kind of tension or a different kind of behaviour that I knew that they should not be showing they were not handled.�

Von Hollen knows of many other reptile owners, but none have anything like the five-metre African rock python that apparently escaped from its enclosure, fell through a ceiling and suffocated the four- and six-year-old brothers as they slept.

Under Alberta’s Wildlife Act, the African rock python is among a lengthy list of snakes and other exotic animals that are prohibited except in special circumstances.

Von Hollen had a zoo permit and was required to report exactly what animals he had in his collection to Fish and Wildlife each year.

Centennial exhibit a ‘trip down memory lane’

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

MY HOME TOWN

For decades, the 12-metre tall rocket-shaped climbing apparatus stood like a monument above the Kin Kanyon playground in Red Deer.

Then one day the local landmark from the early 1960s was suddenly gone. It was pulled down about 15 years ago, after being considered too unsafe for today’s tots.

Now its paint-peeling, Jetsons glory can only be seen in a faded photograph

displayed at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.

Like Red Deer’s old dismantled Drive-In Theatre sign, the demolished St. Joseph’s Convent, and the little deer souvenirs made by mentally disabled clients of the Provincial Training School, Kin Kanyon’s rocket ship has disappeared into the history books.

But it survives in the personal mem-

ories of anyone who’s ever admired its quirky, retro design, or as a child, climbed its metal rungs to reach the steep slide.

The museum’s My Home Town exhibit, in celebration of the city’s centennial, is full of such nostalgic images and artifacts — from old school jerseys and cheerleading sweaters to assorted local milk bottles from the days when milkmen would bring them right to your door.

Girl bags herself a black bear for the record books

A giant black bear she took down north of Peace River last September while hunting with father, Glenn Nimmo, landed the then 13-year-old who lives on an acreage near Red Deer in the Boone and Crockett Club’s record books. “In my 25 years of hunting I’ve never achieved anything near what she has,� said her proud father, who has taken Madison on hunting trips with him since she was a toddler. “It was quite a feat to make the North American records. “It’s a once in a lifetime.�

After getting the first bear, they went into the nearby community of Manning to get another tag just in case a good prospect came along.

It was the fourth day, when she and her father spotted again the huge bear they had the seen the day before.

The big creature got wind of them and she fired off a shot without her trigger stick, a stand to hold the rifle steady, and missed. Her second shot at 150 yards hit the bear, but it got up and started to run, before she hit it a second time.

Dozens of moms, babies exposed to measles virus at B.C. hospital

MUD HERO SET-UP

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — The Fraser Health Authority says as many as 60 newborns and their mothers were exposed to the measles virus by a visitor to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Health staff are now contacting the affected families to offer them treatment to lower the chances of infection. Chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder said the exposure of the infants is very concerning.

“They are too young to respond to the vaccine and some will not have received protection in utero from their mothers,” he said in a news release.

The visitor was infectious with early measles at the time, the Fraser Health Authority said.

Van Buynder said it is important for people to get vaccinated against the very contagious illness. In extreme cases, measles can cause brain damage, blindness and deafness.

“This comes after a recent death of a child from pertussis, another vaccine preventable disease. It is a timely reminder that not vaccinating children can have consequences for other vulnerable infants.”

The health authority said the eastern part of the Fraser Valley tends to have relatively low immunization rates, and the area has seen several clusters of the virus in previous years.

Last month, health officials warned of measles outbreaks in Whistler, Pemberton, Vancouver’s North Shore and on Bowen Island.

The most effective protection against the virus is two doses of the vaccine which is free to all those born after 1957. About 3,000 Canadians with measles die every year.

STORIES FROM A1

SNAKES: Can escape Fish and wildlife officers often brought seized reptiles to his zoo to be cared for properly.

African rock pythons are also not allowed in New Brunswick, unless for a zoo or research purposes.

New Brunswick provincial officials seized about 15 other animals on Thursday.

Exactly what happened there remains a mystery.

After falling through the roof, the snake was no doubt shocked and reacted.

Many questions remain about how the boys died without anyone hearing their struggle, but von Hollen said he doesn’t want to speculate on what could have happened.

“As I was looking at some of the blogs last night, hundreds of other questions are being asked by snake people across North America as to why and how this could have happened.”

Reports that the boys had been at a petting farm in the day before their deaths may have contributed to the tragedy, some in the snake community believe.

Pioneer school children were constantly warned to wash their hands if they had touched other animals before handling snakes because the snakes could pick up the scent and mistake the youngsters for prey.

“When we had the zoo at the school I was adamant with the kids they were never, ever to handle a snake after they had played with a furry animal.”

Von Hollen said he never had problems with his pythons, but they were used to people, well fed, and properly handled and housed. When he retired and the zoo was closed in 2003, the big snakes went to licensed facilities in B.C. and Manitoba.

Snakes do escape occasionally. In the worst case, a snake at Pioneer school got out of its enclosure and ate von Hollen’s son’s guinea pig.

Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development spokesman Trevor Gemmell said animals make the controlled list if they pose ecological, health or public safety concerns.

“The permits that are available here in Alberta to possess these animals are either a zoo permit or research permit. These are issued only after very specific criteria are met,” said Gemmell.

“In short, there is no permit that will be issued for the possession of a controlled animal as a pet.”

Besides snakes, numerous other types of animals are listed from hippopotamuses and elephants to monkeys, tapirs and crocodiles.

Even certain breeds of common pets, such as ham-

A look at the water slides — Obstacle No. 7 — along what will be the Mud Hero course at the Canyon Ski Hill Resort. Mud Hero opens on Saturday, Aug. 10, and features 17 different obstacles, including slides, climbing walls, and tunnels.

EXHIBIT: Positive comments Museum executive-director Lorna Johnson has heard a lot of positive comments about the displays, saying people “enjoy the trip down memory lane.”

Johnson believes the school, sports and business memorabilia appeals to both those who grew up in Red Deer, and those who simply appreciate the general memories stirred up by the exhibit.

For instance, motorists pulling off the highway into Red Deer in the early to mid-20th century could apparently leave with some odd reminders of this Central Alberta berg. Tourists could purchase a sealed, labeled can of “genuine (?) fossilized deer droppings” or some snazzy salt and pepper shakers emblazoned with pictures of the Alberta Ladies College.

They could take away triangular Red Deer pennants, or small red felt deer toys that were meticulously hand finished with blanket stitching by the inhabitants of what was to become Michener Centre.

By 1950, local motorists could also catch a flick at the brand-new drive-in movie theatre, which was called 2-11 presumably because it was located near the junctions of Hwys 2 and 11.

The drive-in’s two large signs are among the most eye-catching artifacts in the exhibit. They no longer have neon tube lighting, but still sport a large, faded stylized deer mascot. “They have a painterly quality,” said Johnson, who likes that various touch-ups done over the years are visible.

Museum visitors can relive part of the drive-in experience by planting themselves in what looks like a chair from the All in the Family TV set and watching vintage cartoon shorts of walking hotdogs and talking popcorn containers that nudged drive-in customers towards the concessions.

By 1962, Johnson said the local car culture was in full swing. Motorists could go to a drive-through restaurant opened on Red Deer’s south hill by Mr. and Mrs. Konopacki. The couple had previously started the sit-down Peacock Restaurant on Ross Street, but were astute observers of changing eating habits. A menu and images from both establishments are included in the exhibit.

Among the more esoteric artifacts are wooden boards from the lobby of the old RDTV studio that contain signatures of various celebrity guests, including Mr. Dressup, hockey player Brett Hull and country singer George Fox. The local TV station flourished for years before

They thought the bear was dead when it got up again and she hit it a third time from 350 yards with her Remington seven-mm-08 rifle.

Madison said once they got up close they were in complete shock at the size of the animal, which judging by its worn teeth was a wily veteran.

It was a struggle just to flip the bear over to tag it.

It turned out to weight about 290 kg (650 pounds) and stands 2.4 m (eight feet) tall.

The bear was so big the taxidermist didn’t have a mount big enough so he had to modify a grizzly mount for the trophy, which now stands in their living room.

Capping off her experience, she was honoured, along with other youth hunters, at a special awards dinner in Reno, Nev., last month. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

being unceremoniously closed by its owner, Canwest, in 2009, due to financial pressures. Johnson said Red Deer’s identity was in part shaped by TV and radio, which is also represented by a CKRD nylon jacket and a loud red, black and white check broadcaster’s blazer from the 1970s, which seems pulled from Herb Tarlek’s closet (from the classic TV series WKRP in Cincinnati).

Sparkly, flamboyant clothing worn in the Westerner Days parade is also shown, as are bottles from locally produced beverages, including various milk and beer producers. Union Milk, the Whitehills Jersey Dairy, and Uncle Ben’s Brewery are no longer around, but their bottles are reminders of these businesses past.

Johnson remembers drinking Uncle Ben’s beer while at university in Calgary the late 1970s. “There was a beer strike on and Uncle Ben’s wasn’t unionized, so everyone drank it,” she said, with a chuckle.

She hopes these displays of Red Deer’s “material history” will provoke visitors to think about the things they believe are worth preserving. For instance, no one consulted with museum officials before the rocket apparatus at Kin Kanyon was dismantled.

While it’s doubtful the museum would have had storage room for the sizeable structure, Johnson noted she could find only one photograph of it for the exhibit — even though so many local people remember it.

“One of the issues we’d like people to look at is how are some things significant in (their) memory?

And how do we determine what’s significant?”

Ex-soldier facing 119 charges

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

EDMONTON — A former Edmonton-based soldier faces more than 100 charges related to child pornography and luring.

“This is an exceptionally disturbing case of alleged child sexual exploitation using computers and social media,” Col. Rob Delaney, acting Provost Marshall of the Canadian Forces said Thursday in a release.

Delaney, the most senior military police officer in the country, said the allegations are “a grim reminder that there are predators out there who can

and will use technology and social media to exploit our children’s innocence — and it is our responsibility to protect these most vulnerable members of our society.”

The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service said the investigation was conducted with several other law enforcement agencies across North America. A military police official said they began their investigation in 2011 into allegations of improper conduct.

Details of the allegations were not released.

Court allows broadcast of police video with toddler killer MEDICINE HAT — An Alberta judge has ruled a video of a police interview with a daycare home operator who admitted to negligence in the death of a toddler can be broadcast.

CTV had requested to show the video depicting Erin Jackman’s 2010 police interview following her arrest, but a provincial judge rejected it, even though the Crown did not object and the defence lawyer did not show up at the hearing seeking permission to broadcast the video last December.

No other objections, evidence or submissions by Medicine Hat police or affected family members regarding the broadcast of the video were heard.

On Thursday, Queen’s Bench Justice Glen Poelman said the onus is on those seeking bans to

prove it’s necessary, rather than media outlets having to provide reasons why the courts should release such exhibits.

Jackman was sentenced last fall to 3 ½ years in prison for criminal negligence causing the death of a 19-month-old girl at her accredited day home in Medicine Hat, Alta., in July 2010.

The police interview with 26-year-old Jackman was shown in court -- in it, Jackman confesses to pushing the child into a door hinge in a fit of frustration. Mercedes Pepper died of massive head trauma.

CTV lawyers were pleased with the court’s decision to allow the interview to be broadcast.

“It’s a good reminder that courts being open to the public isn’t enough,” said Sean Ward.

“The public depends on the media to be their eyes and ears. (The release of the video) is what that means in this day and age.”

The shootings are under investigation by government agencies in both provinces.

The school, which specializes in online learning, says Frits Pannekoek will not complete his second term in office.

The university does not say why he is leaving early after eight years at the job.

A university spokeswoman says Pannekoek will remain as president until his successor is chosen by next May.

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HIGH RIVER — Families were starting to move Thursday into a new temporary neighbourhood built for people who lost their homes in flood-ravaged High River.

Up to 60 families will live in a long line of trailers on a 40-hectare piece of land in the Saddlebrook neighbourhood north of the town.

They will join about 200 single people who already call the trailer complex home.

“This is a positive step forward for these families who have been out of their homes for so long,” said Rick Fraser, Alberta’s associate minister of regional recovery and reconstruction.

Several hundred people lost their homes in the flood in June and ended up living at student residences in Calgary and Lethbridge.

People displaced by the floods have the option of moving into temporary housing or making their own arrangements. They are to receive their accommodations rent-free for the first 90 days.

The family trailers include a living room with a sofa, chair and television. There are shared laundry facilities and a simple bedroom with a closet.

More basic units have a bedroom and a shared bathroom.

Amenities at Saddlebrook include three restaurants, recreation and playground areas, housekeeping, and medical support.

Saddlebrook community was the first temporary neighbourhood to open.

Temporary relief housing recently opened in the Siksika First Nation east of Calgary until a temporary neighbourhood is ready for that community.

Other temporary neighbourhoods are being considered.

Matthew Richervezeau, 23, has been charged with 119 counts of child luring, possession of child pornography and other charges.

The military handed over the results of the investigation to the Alberta Crown earlier this year.

The case is now being handled by Alberta’s Justice Department.

Richervezeau was being held in custody in the Edmonton area pending a Sept 5. court appearance.

Canadian Forces military police said Richervezeau joined the army in 2011 and served as an armour crewman with the Edmonton-based Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) regiment.

He left the army voluntarily in May.

Welcome to our world SASKATCHEWAN MUST COME TO GRIPS WITH THE KIND OF ECONOMIC WAVES THAT REGULARLY BUFFET ALBERTA Sometime last week, Alberta Premier Alison Redford picked up her special premier’s-issue smartphone — the one with all the hotline numbers for all the other premiers pre-loaded. She thumbed down the list to “W” for Saskatchewan premier GREG Brad Wall, and NEIMAN hit the Call button.

Wall, seeing that it was Redford on the call display, answered on the second ring.

“Welcome to my world,” said Redford. “Again.”

A year or so back, Alberta was suffering from the so-called “bitumen bubble,” the price discount on oilsands bitumen that our producers must absorb because it’s harder to refine than conventional crude, but notably because of lack of pipeline capacity to deliver it in the amounts producers expect when their new big projects come online.

A discount on bitumen meant a discounted royalty paid to the province,

INSIGHT

which led to a $6-billion revenue shortfall in the provincial budget.

That was then. Today, an increase in rail shipping of crude oil — how’s that been going so far? — has sliced a big chunk off the discount.

Today, Alberta has a “gas bubble.”

Experts call it a “basis differential” but those of us who know pain know it’s gas.

Again, because of the higher cost of shipping gas east to Ontario and Quebec, the discount on Alberta gas has grown by 85 per cent, compared with the benchmark price in Henry Hub, La. Who knew?

Compared with the price of gas from new northeastern U.S. fields, the discount measured east of Sarnia, Ont., has more than doubled in the last two months.

Because of the discovery of newlyaccessible reserves on the eastern side of North America, this discount may become permanent.

The cost of shipping gas by pipeline has shot up recently, leading producers who do not have long-term shipping contracts to avoid selling to Central Canada. We know what happens when gas doesn’t move, don’t we?

Even with our twin bubbles, Alberta’s non-renewable resource revenue continues to climb, as production numbers rise while oil goes back over $100 a barrel.

Last fiscal year, Alberta’s non-renewable resource revenues climbed to $11.64 billion, up from $6.77 billion in 2009-2010. Credit the railways, I guess.

But let’s examine Saskatchewan’s pain.

Globally, oil has its OPEC. Potash has Belarus Potash in Europe, and Canpotex everywhere else. Canpotex has three big members: Agrium (which is just plain big), Mosaic and Saskatchewan’s own Potash Corp.

There’s a big fight going on in Belarus. Major partner OAO Uralkali is Russian-owned, and they’re about as reliable a trading partner as, well ... forget the analogy, I don’t want to insult the Arabs of the 1970s like this.

Together, the two cartels control 70 per cent of the world’s potash, and just like Alberta with oilsands, Saskatchewan has the world’s largest deposits.

If cartel members start a price war, it gets ugly for everyone.

Potash accounts for two per cent of the province’s economy and 20 per cent of total provincial revenues, which, as in Alberta, is more than is collected in tax revenues.

Saskatchewan’s total non-renewable resource revenue is $2.61 billion, and the province cannot absorb a price war without some pain. Potash prices are expected to drop by 25 per cent in the coming year.

Haven’t we seen this sort of thing

in our province before? Like, a dozen times?

During the good times (early this year), Saskatchewan was projecting a surplus budget. Pretty hard to deliver on that, now. We’ve seen this movie before, too.

And the price drop threatens to cancel or delay the building of a megamine near the town of Jansen. BHP Bilton is casting a wary eye on proceeding with a $14-billion potash mine that would be twice the size of its nearest competitor.

Ooooh, megaprojects in distress.

We’ve had a few of those. Taxpayers, watch your wallets.

In fact, all of Canada has bubble pain. Bitumen, natural gas, potash, it matters not. Our two provinces lead the nation in GDP growth, because of resources prone to bubbling out.

In good old 2011, Alberta’s GDP growth was 5.2 per cent and in Saskatchewan it was 4.8 per cent. Nationally, it was two per cent. Where does Ottawa’s money come from?

I see no remedy to replace the kind of economic numbers resource extraction produces. Like gas pain, this is something you have to endure, until it passes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oxbow dog park great: don’t quibble about washrooms I was really annoyed at the letter to the editor from Jerry Anderson on Aug. 7.

I have been taking my dog to the Oxbow dog park for the last couple of years, and watch with interest how the City of Red Deer is slowly improving the area by planting trees, adding benches, dog exercise equipment and a fenced-off area for dog-training in an effort to make an interesting dog park out of what was once a landfill site.

I, along with hundreds of other dog owners, really appreciate what Mayor Morris Flewwelling and his council have accomplished and although this isn’t a park particularly well-geared for humans, the dogs absolutely adore it.

Just this weekend, visitors from B.C. were amazed at the facility and wished they had something like this where they lived, and thought it was such a good idea to build something like this where nothing else could be built, on an old garbage dump.

I think that Mr. Anderson and his friend with the weak bladder are making a bit of a “mountain out of a molehill,” or should I say out of a “landfill,” and if they can’t spend an hour or so walking their animals around this park in comfort, I suggest they go to Three Mile Bend where they have a toilet for humans.

Bragging about English auto fails to impress car guy The Aug. 7 article on the Advocate front page about the Caterham sports car irritated me because of the arrogant tone of the interviewed owner.

Terry Johns was very dismissive when he discussed North American automobiles, which he described as a product “bought by the pound” in the eyes of English car enthusiasts.

He also wanted to warn his fellow Caterham owners about poor Canadian drivers before an organized road trip through the mountains.

The Caterham is essentially a street legal go-kart engineered for maximum performance on a track and Johns should expect it would do well against heavier North American vehicles in any performance category.

It would likely fall down in every other category, including durability, reliability and every basic creature comfort found in any North American vehicle.

His other conclusion about poor Canadian drivers would have to be weighed against British driver stats and I suspect there would be very little difference between the two.

I would suggest that newcomer Johns should use a little more diplomacy in his assessment of the Cana-

Lazy, inconsiderate youth will get payback some day It is sad to see how lazy and thoughtless the next generation has become.

On Friday at 10:30 in the morning I was at Tim Hortons near the hospital when I saw a maroon sedan pull in to clear marked off spot in front of area on where the side walk dips so people in wheelchairs, walker, etc., can access the building.

Not 15 feet away was an empty spot — as a matter of fact if he had kept on going straight he could have pulled into it.

I saw this man (use the term lightly) get out of his car, he didn’t seem to have any problems moving, quite agile and seemed to be in his late 20s to

Two teens charged in Rehtaeh Parsons case

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Police said Thursday that two Halifax teens face child pornography charges in the case of Rehtaeh Parsons, the 17-year-old Halifax girl who was taken off life-support following a suicide attempt in April.

Her family says she was bullied for months after a digital photo of her allegedly being sexually assaulted was passed around her school.

One 18-year-old man faces two counts of distributing child pornography, while another 18-year-old man faces charges of making and distributing child pornography. Both accused are due in youth court next Thursday, police said Thursday evening.

“I can tell you that we hope that today’s arrests help the entire community to heal,” RCMP ChiefSupt. Roland Wells told a news conference.

“A young girl has died in what is a tragic set of circumstances. We all need to reflect on how we as a community can come together in Rehtaeh’s memory and see what we can do to work together to support our youth.”

Police said they would not release the identities

of the accused, as they were minors at the time of the alleged offences.

Earlier in the day, Rehtaeh’s parents said news that two people were arrested brought them some solace, though the girl’s father expressed disappointment that his daughter never saw justice served in her short life.

“She’s dead now. She’s gone,” Glen Canning said in an interview at his home.

“It’s sad and in a way it’s a bit of relief that there may be some sense of justice done in this case.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who earlier this year met with Leah Parsons, Rehtaeh’s mother, said he hoped that the girl’s family would be given a degree of comfort with the progress in the case.

“This is a terrible tragedy that had touched not only the families but many other Canadians who have become familiar with what has transpired and the kind of risk this presents to all of our children,” Harper said in Saint John, N.B., where he was at the Irving Oil refinery.

“I just want to say how pleased we are that progress is being made. I hope it provides some measure of comfort to family members.”

Rehtaeh’s family has said the girl felt helpless after a digital photo of her allegedly being sexually assaulted in November 2011 was passed around her school.

The RCMP said earlier this year that they looked into the allegations of sexual assault and an inappropriate photo but after consulting with the province’s Public Prosecution Service, they concluded there weren’t enough grounds to lay charges.

A week after Rehtaeh’s death, police reopened their investigation, saying they received new information from someone who was willing to work with investigators.

“I feel that the investigation wasn’t handled properly from the beginning and I’ve never seen the file, so I don’t really know why or how that happened,” Leah Parsons said earlier Thursday. “I’m just glad that it was reopened.”

Canning said he believes Rehtaeh could have been helped had the arrests happened sooner.

“She had no sense of justice right up until the day she died,” he said. “I do believe if this case was taken seriously, she would have felt value as a human being.”

LAC-MEGANTIC

Railroad granted creditor protection

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — The railroad involved in the fatal Lac-Megantic train derailment was granted creditor protection Thursday in a Canadian court, a decision expected to increase the value of the company’s assets and speed up its repayment of debts.

It remained unclear, however, just how much of its rapidly growing liabilities the railway will ultimately be able to pay off.

A Quebec Superior Court justice handed down the ruling after a request was made by Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Canada Co., a firm facing hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits, other legal claims and environmental-cleanup costs linked to the disaster.

Justice Martin Castonguay told a Montreal courtroom he hopes the decision will avoid the “judicial anarchy” of having numerous creditors simultaneously seeking cash from the insolvent railway through different legal avenues.

On July 6, an unattended MMA train loaded with crude oil roared into Lac-Megantic and derailed, setting off huge explosions, destroying much of the downtown core and killing 47 people. The crash also released millions of litres of petroleum into the environment.

In court documents filed Wednesday, the railway sought relief from its creditors under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and stated it had just under $18 million in assets and insurance coverage of $25 million. MMA’s chairman has said in interviews it has yet to receive cash from its insurer due to what he has described as technical issues.

The company, a Canadian subsidiary of the U.S.based Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., also estimated in the filing that mop-up bills alone will exceed $200 million.

Lawyers say it’s too early to know how much taxpayers will ultimately end up paying for the massive cleanup and reconstruction.

The Quebec government says it’s among the secured creditors and insists it will take necessary steps to limit the burden on the public purse, which has already been opened.

Taxpayers have been forced to shell out millions for the environmental-cleanup bill after MMA failed to pay workers it had hired for the job. The town and the Quebec government have sent legal notices to the railway, demanding it reimburse Lac-Megantic nearly $7.8 million.

The railway has faced considerable public criticism over how it has responded to the disaster and even the judge shared his own thoughts Thursday on its conduct, describing MMA’s actions since the derailment as “lamentable.”

“The court is not at all impressed with the conduct of MMA since the start,” Castonguay said without elaborating, shortly after granting the creditor protection.

Brazeau background check failed to spot address discrepancy OTTAWA — An in-depth background check of Patrick Brazeau by senior officials in the Prime Minister’s Office either ignored or overlooked the conflicting addresses now at the heart of an RCMP probe into the embattled senator’s finances.

A court filing by the lead investigator in a breachof-trust probe revealed last week that the Mounties are looking in greater depth into the tax returns filed by the former high-profile native leader between 2004 and 2008.

Brazeau was claiming aboriginal tax status at the time, and his driver’s licence and passport showed his address as his former father-in-law’s house on the Kiniw Zibi Mika First Nation reserve in Maniwaki, Que. Police, however, allege he was actually living in Gatineau, about 90 minutes away, directly across the river from the national capital.

An official with the Privy Council Office, the bureaucratic wing of the prime minister’s office, confirmed that a detailed — but routine — background check was conducted on Brazeau at the time of his 2008 appointment, as is the case for all incoming senators.

That screening involves an RCMP criminal record check, an assessment by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, a review at Industry Canada to confirm no bankruptcy applications, and a Canada Revenue Agency tax compliance determination.

But the court records show the Gatineau address given to the Mounties for their portion of the review differs from the information on Brazeau’s Quebec driver’s licence, passport and tax returns.

PYTHON ATTACK

Animals seized from pet shop

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CAMPBELLTON, N.B. — The man tasked to help seize reptiles from an exotic pet store in Campbellton, N.B., said wildlife crews will begin removing the animals Friday, days after two boys were killed by an African rock python in an apartment upstairs. “There’s an awful lot of animals in there,� Bry Loyst, founder and curator of the Indian River Reptile Zoo in Ontario, said Thursday evening. “It’s kind of cluttery inside so it makes it difficult to do this safely.�

Loyst said officials were taking an inventory of the animals inside Reptile Ocean and several accredited zoos in Ontario and New Brunswick have agreed to take them in. “We don’t want these animals,� Loyst said. “We’re just helping out.�

Earlier in the day, the manager of the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, N.B., said he was enlisted by the province’s Natural Resources Department to help identify and remove 16 animals that the shop didn’t have permits for.

Bruce Dougan said there are four large American alligators, six crocodiles, some tortoises, turtles and snakes in the shop. “There are quite a few animals here,� Dougan said, adding that his zoo will take in the tortoises.

The Natural Resources Department has obtained a warrant to search the store and said if any illegal animals are found, they would be seized and relocated to accredited zoos. The building has been cordoned off with police tape since four-year-old Noah Barthe and his six-year-old brother Connor were found dead Monday morning in an apartment above the store.

The apartment and store are owned by JeanClaude Savoie, a family friend of the boys who took them shopping and to a farm before hosting a sleepover Sunday along with his son. Savoie could not be reached for comment.

Citing preliminary results of autopsies on the boys, police say the children were asphyxiated by a 45-kilogram African rock python that escaped its glass tank inside the home. The RCMP say the snake slithered through a ventilation system but fell through a ceiling and into the living room where the boys slept.

Since 1992, the African rock python has been banned in New Brunswick unless a permit is obtained. Only accredited zoos can obtain such a permit, said Anne Bull, a spokeswoman for the province’s Natural Resources Department.

Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums, the only nationally-recognized body in the country that grants accreditation for zoos, said Reptile Ocean was never accredited nor requested accreditation.

The Natural Resources Department said it was not aware that the African rock python was being kept in the apartment prior to the deaths of the boys.

A funeral service for the boys is scheduled for Saturday.

Baird defends stance on gay rights

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is brushing off criticism of Ottawa’s defence of sexual minorities’ rights in other countries, saying the vast majority of Canadians support the government’s stance despite claims from a conservative women’s group to the contrary. “We have put a great deal of emphasis on promoting Canadian values,� Baird told The Canadian Press from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Thursday. “With respect to sexual minorities, we’ve focused on three things. One, against the criminalization of sexual minorities, two, against violence, and three, against the death penalty — and I think 99.9 per cent of Canadians support us on those three issues.�

Baird also said that political and religious freedoms and women’s rights’, including vocal opposition to rape as a weapon of war and early enforced marriage, are similar Canadian values that the government promotes around the world. “I don’t know anyone in my party that supports the death penalty for sexual minorities. Not a single person,� Baird said, referring to reports that Uganda has considered the death penalty for homosexual relations.

His comments come in response to an attack from a conservative women’s group, which accused Baird of using taxpayers money to promote “his own personal agenda� and attempting to set standards of the laws of foreign countries.

REAL Women of Canada took issue with Baird’s comments in a recent interview with The Canadian

Nothing wrong with loan from Ottawa businessman: Harb

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Sen. Mac Harb is insisting he did nothing wrong when he borrowed money from an Ottawa businessman who deals with the federal government.

Harb is responding to a report about a loan provided by a company owned

by Brian Karam, a businessman and lawyer who has for years done business with the government.

The Criminal Code says government officials cannot accept an “advantage or benefit� of money from someone who deals with the federal government

without first getting written permission from the branch in which they work.

Paul Champ, Harb’s attorney, calls that interpretation of the law “twisted,� arguing the senator is not a government employee and holds no sway with the Harper government.

Champ says Harb is mortgaging his properties to fight the Senate’s bid to deny his expense claims, adding the loans were “completely transparent� and on “reasonable commercial terms.�

Public records show Harb has borrowed $230,000 since May from Karam’s numbered company by mortgaging four of his properties.

Press, in which he said the Harper government had worked behind the scenes to persuade Russia not to follow through with a controversial anti-gay law.

Baird told The Canadian Press on Aug. 1 that he is deeply concerned that the new Russian law will be enforced during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and called the law an �incitement to intolerance, which breeds hate. And intolerance and hate breed violence.�

The law, signed by President Vladimir Putin in June, bans “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations� and imposes fines on those holding gay pride rallies.

In a letter to Baird that was provided to The Canadian Press, NDP Foreign Affairs critic Paul Dewar called on him to continue speaking out against the homophobic legislation and attacks on LGBT Russians, in addition to determining ways to support LGBT activists in Russia and “to institute a visa ban for the originators of the law in question.� “Passage of this legislation has led to mistreatment and persecution of LGBT individuals throughout Russia based solely upon their desire to express themselves and to associate with like-minded individuals and organizations,� Dewar said in the letter. “Due to the harmful effects this law is having on its own citizens, Russian civil society organizations have rallied to this cause. They have been joined in their efforts by their concerned Canadian counterparts in expressing their discontent over the treatment of LGBT peoples and have voiced their view that this conduct is contrary to our collective Canadian value of respect for human rights.�

CANADA Parents launch $3.5M lawsuit over daycare death

BRIEFS

BOSTON — A Boston court has sentenced a Canadian man to nearly seven years in prison for what prosecutors describe as a relentless campaign of terror on his American ex-fiancee.

Phillip Andrew Bauer received a sentence on Thursday of 82 months to be followed by three years probation — U.S. prosecutors had asked for a 10-year sentence.

Prosecutors had asked for the longer sentence saying it was needed to keep the Kingston, Ont., man from killing the woman and her family.

Court heard Bauer battered the woman after their relationship ended and vowed to kill her and two of her sisters if the family does not give him thousands of dollars he believes he is owed.

Prosecutors say the woman, who is not identified in the federal court documents, lives in constant fear, as Bauer continued sending threatening letters even after his arrest in February 2011.

TORONTO — The death of a two-year-old girl at an overcrowded home daycare north of Toronto was preventable and due to the owners’ negligence, her devastated family is alleging as they launch a multi-milliondollar lawsuit.

Eva Ravikovich was an “absolutely healthy” and happy little girl when the daycare operator picked her up on July 8, the girl’s mother said Thursday.

“Every child to every parent is a special one, but this girl was just amazing,” said Ekaterina Evtropova, 26, in a news conference announcing the lawsuit.

“The things that she was doing for a two year old, to me, was just miraculous. What can I say? To me she was everything.”

Hours later, her husband got a call about a situation at the daycare. He arrived to find that their only child was dead, Evtropova said.

The $3.5-million lawsuit, against the owners and operators of the unlicensed daycare and the Ministry of Education, does not reveal what the family alleges happened inside the daycare, but alludes to an “incident.”

The daycare was an unsafe environment and the operators failed to both monitor children for potential health issues and respond properly to an emergency situation, the family alleges.

“As a result of the negligence of the defendants, Eva suffered serious injuries and died,” the family writes in its statement of claim.

Now, Eva’s parents are grieving the loss of their happy, constantly smiling daughter, seen playing with a toothbrush and giggling in a video they released.

“It’s like now I have a feeling that I have nothing to live for,” Evtropova said.

“The meaning of my life — I would say there is no meaning now and I’m not trying to find it because nothing would ever replace her and nobody would ever replace her, but as I say I have no other choice, just to live.”

Eva’s father, Vycheslav Ravikovich, has suffered from nervous shock, the lawsuit alleges. He was present at the news conference but did not comment. The lawyer’s office said he primarily speaks Russian.

Evtropova is a nurse and is studying at Ryerson University. Ravikovich, 29, is a carpenter and is studying at George Brown College, their lawyer said.

The coroner’s office has advised the family that their daughter’s death was preventable, said family lawyer Patrick Brown.

However, a spokeswoman for the office of the chief coroner said “that didn’t happen.”

“All I can tell you is that the investigation is current” and no conclusions have been reached, said Laura Blondeau.

New charges against man at centre of Maple Leaf Gardens sex abuse scandal TORONTO — A man at the centre of a decades-old Toronto sex abuse scandal is now facing nearly 100 charges, and his lawyer says he could spend the rest of his life in prison if a court decides he is a dangerous offender.

Gordon Stuckless — a former usher at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens — was originally convicted in 1997 for sex assaults on 24 boys while he worked at the famed hockey arena between 1969 and 1988.

The 64-year-old was forced back into the spotlight earlier this year when police announced fresh charges against him related to alleged offences that took place decades ago.

The number of those charges has been mounting as new complainants come forward, with Stuckless now facing a total of 98 charges, a Toronto court heard Thursday.

A preliminary hearing in the case is set to being in April next year and is expected to run for five weeks.

MD says man who died in emergency room partly responsible for own death WINNIPEG — The death of a homeless man who waited 34 hours for treatment in a Winnipeg emergency room was partly self-inflicted, says a doctor who examined the man’s brain.

Dr. Marc Del Bigio wrote an email suggesting that double-amputee Brian Sinclair’s chronic solvent abuse caused the health problems that brought him to the emergency room of Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre in September 2008, the inquest into Sinclair’s death heard Thursday.

Sinclair died from a treatable infection caused by a blocked catheter. There is “no question something went amiss at HSC emergency,” Del Bigio wrote in the email to the province’s medical examiner and CEO of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

But after reviewing thousands of pages of Sinclair’s medical history, Del Bigio said the hospital was not solely responsible for Sinclair’s death.

can legally care for no more than five children under the age of 10 — in addition to their own children.

When Eva died there were at least 27 children in the facility — possibly more, Brown said.

In addition to overcrowding, the family alleges that the daycare providers failed to ensure food and drink was properly stored in order to prevent contamination, failed to properly supervise the children, and showed a “callous disregard and complete lack of care for Eva and her parents.”

“The defendants were or should have been conscious of the probable consequences of their actions and were indifferent, or worse to the danger of injury such actions would cause to other persons, including Eva,” the family alleges in the lawsuit.

Four people listed as residing at a house in Vaughan are named in the suit, as are two people at the home next door. The lawsuit alleges all six — Olena Panfilova, Oleksandr Rabadanov, Ruslan Rabadanov, Katerina Rabadanov, Inna Koganova and Valery Koganov — were owners and operators of the daycare.

No one answered the phone at a number listed for the second home. No statement of defence has been filed.

The family is asking for $2 million in punitive damages, $1 million in general damages and $500,000 in special damages.

Argos 38, Als embarrassed TORONTO ROARS TO EARLY LEAD TO SPOIL JIM POPP’S RETURN AS MONTREAL’S COACH CHASE UTELY

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW DEAL FOR UTELY

Toronto 38, Montreal 13 MONTREAL — The Toronto Argonauts took full advantage of the Montreal Alouettes’ early turnovers to gain some breathing room atop the CFL’s East Division.

John Chiles caught a pair of Ricky Ray touchdown passes and Chad Owens returned a missed field goal attempt 118 yards in the first quarter Thursday to send Toronto on to an emphatic 38-13 victory over Montreal.

Ray threw his third touchdown pass to Jason Barnes in the second quarter and Noel Prefontaine added a field goal moments later as the Argonauts roared to a 31-0 lead in general manager Jim Popp’s coaching return for Alouettes.

Noel Devine fumbled three times as Montreal turned over the ball six times in its first game since head coach Dan Hawkins was fired.

“You never expect to get a start like that,” Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich said. “That’s what you’re always hoping for, to take advantage of the turnovers. We played great on defence, played great on special teams, and offensively we played great for a half and that’s why we were able to get that lead.”

The Argonauts (4-2) won their third straight game to increase their lead in the East to four points over Montreal and Hamilton.

“It’s a long season,” said Ray, who missed Toronto’s last game with a knee injury.

“We’re pretty happy with where we’re at right now but there’s still two thirds of the season to play.

“Nobody really wins first place early in the year but you definitely give yourself a lot of breathing room or separation and that’s what we wanted to do is to get the lead and be able to put the pressure on the other teams.”

Ray appeared to tweak his knee in the first half and gave way to backup quarterback Zach Collaros with Toronto firmly in the driver’s seat.

The Alouettes (2-4), meanwhile, fell to 1-3 at home in 2013 to begin Popp’s third stint as coach in his 18-year career with Montreal.

He replaced Hawkins, who was brought in after Marc Trestman left to become head coach of the NFL’s Chicago Bears, after just five games.

“We weren’t good enough. You’ve got to

The Philadelphia Phillies have announced a new deal with second baseman Chase Utley through the 2015 season.

Utley was in the final season of a seven-year, $85 million contract.

The deal Thursday is believed to be worth around $27 million for two years with several options. The 34-yearold Utley is playing in his 11th season in the majors, all with the Phillies. He has been slowed by knee trouble in the past, but that hasn’t been a problem this year. The five-time All-Star began the day batting .277 with 15 home runs and 43 RBIs. “Chase epitomizes everything we expect our Phillies to be,” general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement. “As we’ve said before, we see Chase as a true Phillie for life. This contract moves us toward that end. We couldn’t be more pleased.”

“You dig a hole like that in the first quarter, you get way behind, our offence was pinned deep, it takes you out of your game plan.”

Ray threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Chiles 1:18 into the first quarter on Toronto’s second play from scrimmage after Shane Horton recovered Devine’s fumble on the opening kickoff.

Chiles was then wide open in the end zone at 8:17 to catch Ray’s 19-yard touchdown pass to give the Argonauts a 14-0 lead.

“Somebody got mixed up and I popped

open,” Chiles said. “It felt good.”

Owens ran 118 yards to increase the lead to 21-0 at 10:57 after Alouettes kicker Sean Whyte missed wide left on a 49-yard field goal attempt.

Toronto had built up a 31-0 lead when Whyte kicked a 48-yard field goal to end the first half that was greeted by mock cheers from the home fans.

Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo made it 32-10 when he threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Brandon London 34 seconds into the fourth quarter.

fall apart with a bogey on par5 fourth and a double bogey on his final hole when his flop shot out of a deep rough floated into a bunker. Woods had a 71, not a bad start at Oak Hill, except on this day.

“The round realistically could have been under par easily,” Woods said.

Furyk, who won his lone major at the U.S. Open in 2003 at Olympia Fields, has gone nearly three years since his last win at the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and win PGA Tour player of the year. Still fresh are the four close calls from a year ago, including the U.S. Open.

He was as steady as Scott, rarely putting himself in trouble until the end of the round.

Furyk missed the fairway to the right and had to pitch out because of thick rough and trees blocking his way to the green. That led to his only bogey, but still his lowest firstround score in 19 appearances at the PGA Championship.

Chris Mason put his name on the market and landed The Italian Job. No, he won’t be acting in a remake of the hit 2003 heist movie.

Rather, he’ll be stopping pucks for Ritten Sports of the Italian Hockey League First Division.

The 37-year- Chris Mason old Red Deer native will take his wife, his two young daughters and his puck-stopping skills to Ritten, Italy, later this month to settle in and prepare for the 2013-14 season.

“As soon as our visas come through we’ll be going over. Hopefully around the 18th,” Mason said Thursday.

Mason will likely wind up his playing career in Europe after being a regular NHL netminder since 2005.

He received mild interest from other NHL clubs after completing his one-year contract as the Nashville Predators back-up stopper last spring, but didn’t like what was being offered.

“It was mainly two-way contracts and I didn’t want to go that way,” he said.

“I spent a lot of time in the minors earlier in my career and I didn’t want to do that to my family.”

So he contacted an agent in Europe and let it be known that he was interested in playing overseas.

“I’ve always kind of talked about doing this,” said Mason, who played in Norway during the 2004-05 NHL lockout and has represented Canada in two world championships across the pond.

“I’ve always thought that at the end of my NHL career it would be nice if we could go over and finish out in Europe and that’s what we’re doing.

“I think this will be a great experience for myself and my family.”

Scott, Jim Furyk share PGA lead

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Adam Scott began the final major of the year with a tee shot deep into the trees.

He ended the opening round of the PGA Championship by having to gouge out of deep rough. It was the golf in between that was some of the best he has ever played, even for an Australian with a green jacket.

Showing that he’s not satisfied as only being a Masters champion, Scott ran off five straight birdies early in his round Thursday on soft and vulnerable Oak Hill, and a 15-foot par putt at the end gave him a 5-under 65 and a share of the lead with Jim Furyk.

“Probably the best run I’ve ever had,” Scott said of his five straight birdies.

“I just hit really nice shots and didn’t leave myself too much work. You have to take advantage of that if you’re feeling that. It was a dream start after kind of a nervous first couple of holes.”

David Hearn of Brantford,

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP Ont., an alternate until a week ago, had a 66 in the morning.

Also at 66 was Lee Westwood, who had his best score ever in the PGA and offered evidence that there was no hangover from losing a 54-hole lead in the British Open last month.

It felt like an easy start to so many others.

Oak Hill has such a strong reputation that it has yielded only 10 scores under par over 72 holes in five previous major championships.

The last time the PGA Championship was held on this Donald Ross design in 2003, there were only 12 rounds under par on the first day.

But with overnight rain, humid conditions and a 71-minute delay for storms in the afternoon, Thursday might be as easy as it gets. Scott and Furyk had plenty of company, two of 35 players who broke par.

Tiger Woods was not among them.

The world’s No. 1 player made only two birdies despite playing in the still of the morning, and he watched his round

STORIES FROM PG B1

PGA: No record scores Still fresh are the four close calls from a year ago, including the U.S. Open.

He was as steady as Scott, rarely putting himself in trouble until the end of the round. Furyk missed the fairway to the right and had to pitch out because of thick rough and trees blocking his way to the green. That led to his only bogey, but still his lowest first-round score in 19 appearances at the PGA Championship.

“Usually disappointed with ending the day on a bogey,” Furyk said. “But you know, 65, PGA, is not so bad.”

There were no record scores at Oak Hill despite the soft conditions, just a lot of low rounds.

“If you don’t hit it in the fairways, then you won’t score well,” Westwood said. “These guys are good.

There are a lot of good players playing in the tournament. Somebody is going to hit it straight, and somebody is going to shoot a good score.”

Even Rory McIlroy got in on the act. The defending champion, at the end of a major season that has been a major disappointment, came out firing with three birdies on the opening four holes and made the turn in 32 until back-to-back bogeys. He wound up with a 69.

A resurgent Paul Casey was in the group at 67, while U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, British Open runner-up Henrik Stenson and the ageless Miguel Angel Jimenez were among 11 players at 68. Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., had an even par 70.

British Open champion Phil Mickelson wound up with the same score as Woods, only they arrived at 71 on vastly different roads. Woods had only two birdies. Mickelson shot 71 despite two double bogeys. On the par-5 fourth hole, he hooked his tee shot out-ofbounds and nearly lost the next tee shot in the same place. And on the closing hole, Mickelson looked as if he was back at Winged Foot — wild left off the tees, a reckless attempt into the trees and another double bogey.

He headed straight to the practice range, even summoning coach Butch Harmon down from the Sky Sports television booth.

Scott hasn’t won since the Masters, though he has shown full control of his swing. He looks at these next 10 years as a chance to win more majors and establish himself as a major force in his generation.

“I put a lot into my game the last two years with a focus on the big tournaments,” Scott said. “Everyone around me has had the same focus, as well. We come here to do business.”

MASON: Heads overseas Mason was selected by New Jersey from the WHL Prince George Cougars in the 1995 NHL entry draft but never played with the Devils.

Instead, he caught on with the Predators organization and finally joined the big club on a full-time basis in 2005.

He was dealt to St. Louis in 2008 and played two seasons with the Blues before spending the next two winters in Atlanta and Winnipeg. He rejoined Nashville last fall and appeared in 11 games during the lockout-shortened season.

And now, with his NHL career seemingly over, he’s headed overseas.

“I talked to a few teams in Europe, including two in Germany and one in Austria,” said Mason.

“Once I talked to all of the teams I called around to get some knowledge of the teams. I felt really comfortable with the Ritten organization.

“I talked to the team president and the coach, Rob Wilson, and they were able to answer all of my questions.

“It just seemed to be a great fit for my family and it didn’t hurt that they have a decent team and feel that they’re pretty close to winning a championship.”

With his daughters just two and seven years of age, Mason feels it’s the right time to take the family on a new adventure.

“Our seven-year-old daughter Avery will have a bit of an adjustment, but she’s really outgoing and social and she’s never had a problem adjusting,” he said.

“If it was a different scenario we might think differently, but I just think that she’ll be able to handle it and embrace and enjoy the whole experience. My wife (Courtney) and I also feel that it’s an amazing opportunity to see life and hockey from a different view.”

Mason signed a one-year deal with Ritten but didn’t rule out staying longer, considering the travel and length of the season pale in comparison to the NHL. “We’re just going to go over and enjoy this year,” he said.

“I found over the year, especially the last few when I wasn’t playing much, that an NHL season is just 100 per cent demanding, both physically and mentally.

“I’m at a point now where I don’t want to be away from my family for longer than two or three days at a time anymore. Plus, I’ll get a chance to play again.

The last couple of years I haven’t played a lot of games.

“No matter how old you get or whatever position people might think you’re at in your career, you always want to play.

“They’ve told me that I will play every single game unless I can’t get on the ice.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

CFL: Too many turnovers Whyte added a 15-yard field goal.

It was the first of three meetings between the teams over the next five weeks.

Two of Devine’s three fumbles came in the first quarter.

Tyrrell Sutton also fumbled and Calvillo was intercepted as Montreal turned over the ball four times in the first half.

“When you shoot yourself in the foot by turning the ball over that does not help at all,” Calvillo said.

“I thought the guys up front played very well but we didn’t sustain enough drives.

“We had two long drives where we were backed up and we got the ball out to midfield, but it just wasn’t enough tonight.”

Owens, who recovered a fumble by teammate Andre Durie on a 19-yard reception on the Argonauts’ first offence play of the game, had a potential second touchdown called back in the second. Owens’ 70-yard punt return was called back because of an illegal block.

Prefontaine kicked a 43-yard field goal to make it 31-0. He added a single in the third quarter and two more field goals in the fourth.

The two field goal attempts by Whyte were the only times Montreal made it across midfield on offence in the opening half.

“We’ve just got to stay humble and keep working because this is a long season and anything can happen,” Owens said.

“So we go back to the drawing board, we look at the film and take the good and the bad and we get better for it.”

Pospisil and Raonic advance

BY BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — On a night when Andy Murray stumbled and twotime defending champion Novak Djokovic survived a scare, Canadians Vasek Pospisil and Milos Raonic rose to the fore at the Rogers Cup. Pospisil was overcome with emotion after he came out on top of a tight match with fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych to win 7-5, 2-6, 7-6 (5) before a roaring crowd of supporters on Thursday at the US$3.49-million hardcourt tournament.

Raonic, meanwhile, didn’t even break a smile after an illtempered 7-5, 6-4 win over sixthseeded Juan Martin Del Potro, the Argentine veteran who was coming off a victory last week in Washington.

The wins over players ranked in the world’s top-10 put two Canadians in the quarter-finals of Canada’s biggest tournament for the first time since Andrew Sznajder and Grant Connell made it in 1989.

If one wins, he will be the first Canadian in the semifinals since Mike Belkin in 1969. The last Canadian to win the tournament, then called the Canadian Open, was Robert Bedard in 1958.

But if both win, they will face each other in the semifinals on Saturday.

“It’s great,” said Raonic. “I’m happy to have gone through.

“I was able to watch a lot of Vasek’s match. He seemed to be playing confident and well. It was big he battled out the ending of that match. It’s good for him.”

While Canadians revelled in the home court support, it was a tough day for top players other than fourth-seeded Rafael Nadal, who downed Jerzy Janowicz 6-4, 6-4. He next plays qualifier Marinko Matosevic, who outlasted Benoit Paire 7-6 (7), 6-7 (10), 6-3.

Murray was knocked out of his first tournament since his stirring Wimbledon title with a 6-4, 6-3 loss to unheralded Ernests Gulbis, who will play Raonic in the quarterfinals on Friday.

Djokovic needed to work hard for his 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan, which stretched his Rogers Cup winning streak to 12.

The Serb has a quarter-final meeting with Richard Gasquet, who ousted ninth-seeded Kei Nishikori 1-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Pospisil will play Nikolay Davidenko, who beat fellow Russian Alex Bogomolov 6-4, 6-3.

Raonic needed courtside treatment for an inflamed muscle that was pinching a nerve in his neck and causing a “dead feeling” in his right arm. He was down for about 10 minutes, but got up and played, although he winced in pain on some shots.

He hopes it will feel better after a night’s sleep and he expects to be able to finish the tournament.

“Tomorrow’s another day,” Raonic said. “I could sleep well and

Del Potro was not happy when Raonic touched the net with his hand on break point in the eight game of the second set and didn’t call the foul on himself after the umpire missed it. He stood for a long moment staring up at the umpire’s chair.

Raonic said it was too important of a point to call a foul on himself, adding that the neither player was in top form.

“I think both of us were not 100 per cent,” the Thornhill, Ont., product said after his first win of the year against a top-10 player.

“Obviously he was also far from that.

“I sort of stuck to it, played aggressive and just tried keeping points short. He was a little bit limited from what I could tell on his rotation. He wasn’t able to pass as well as he normally would, or serve as well.”

The 11-seeded Raonic reached the quarter-finals for a second year in a row. Pospisil was thrilled with his first-ever win against a top-10 player.

After Berdych hit wide on match point, the 23-year-old flung his hat on the ground and held his head in happy disbelief. The crowd packed into the National Bank court seats saluted the win with the “Ole Ole” song usually reserved for the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens.

“That was the best match in terms of atmosphere at the end that I’ve ever played,” said Pospisil. “That and the doubles in Davis Cup (a win over Italy this year) were pretty even in terms of atmosphere.

“They were both amazing. But that was definitely the most emotional ending and best match of my career, without a doubt. If I can keep playing the way I am

now, at least I’ll give myself an opportunity.”

The six-foot-four native of Vernon, B.C., is coming off a win last week in a Challenger series event in Vancouver.

Nadal improved to 45-3 this year — best on the ATP Tour —with his win over six-foot-eight Janowicz.

He is 7-0 on hardcourts this year. The Spaniard has seven tournament wins this year, including his only previous hardcourt event at Indian Wells.

The centre court stands looked half empty during Murray’s listless loss to Gulbis, who he had beaten all five of their previous meetings. Many of the fans had gone to the adjoining National Bank court to watch Pospisil.

Murray was in his first tournament since becoming the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years. He looked sharp beating Marcel Granollers in his opening match Wednesday “I actually hit the ball better today than I did yesterday,” said Murray. “I just got broken at the end of both sets.

“There are obviously some things for me to work on, but I think that will come with playing matches.”

Gulbis said his previous losses to Murray were ancient history.

“I looked on this monitor that I lost to him five times, but honestly I just remember the last match we played in Cincinnati,” said Gulbis.

“It was a really tough match, but it was in 2010.

“It was a really long time ago.

I was a different person, he was a different player. When I play against Nadal, honestly I don’t care that I lost to him six or seven times. Every match is like a new thing. Let’s delete all the past.

Let’s start from zero. So I’m 1-0 with Murray.”

Bartoli retires from match due to injury

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli wanted to build on her recent success at this week’s Rogers Cup. Instead she’s leaving the tournament early and her immediate playing future is uncertain.

Bartoli retired early in the second set of her third-round match against Slovakia’s Magdalena Rybarikova due to an abdominal injury.

She didn’t have specifics on the severity of the problem but was hopeful she’d be able to play in the upcoming U.S. Open.

Bartoli said she was scheduled to have more tests done Thursday evening.

She added that her doctor and physiotherapist initially described the problem as an “overload.”

“Kind of excess of tiredness and exhaustion on my body they feel,” she said.

“But it’s so large, the pain is so large and we can’t really say right now exactly (if) there is a tear at some point or if it’s just like a huge tightness.”

Rybarikova led 7-6 (5), 1-0 when the seventh seed from France stopped the match. Bartoli was in obvious discomfort as she walked to the player bench area, where she had a trainer stretch her arm and leg.

Bartoli, who has battled hamstring issues of late, said that she has been very focused on her training but the last few weeks have been a grind.

“Everything that happened for me since a month (ago), it’s not without any tiredness,” she said.

“And obviously it took me so much energy to win my first Grand Slam that at some point I will have a kind of low and it’s normal.

“I’m human. At the end of the day I can’t be winning after winning after winning without feeling at some point a kind of exhaustion.”

Marion Bartoli of France returns the ball against Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia during third round women’s Rogers Cup tennis action in Toronto on Thursday. in her opening victory here. She recently pulled out of a tournament in Stanford, Calif., due to a hamstring strain.

Bartoli won her first career Grand Slam singles title last month at the All-England Club.

The U.S. Open — the final Slam of the season — begins Aug. 26 in New York.

Top-seeded Serena Williams had little trouble in her thirdround match Thursday under sunny skies at Rexall Centre, dispatching No. 13 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 6-0, 6-3.

“She wasn’t able to play her game as much as she wanted to,” Williams said. “When you play such a high-ranked player, you have to go in there with the mindset of do the best you can before they can step all over you and do well.”

Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland also advanced to the quarter-finals with a 6-1, 7-6 (2) win over American Sloane Stephens.

Fourth-seeded Li Na of China

fought back from a three-game deficit in the final set for a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (5) victory over Serbia’s Ana Ivanovic.

Ivanovic, the No. 16 seed, held serve at love for a 5-2 lead before Li won the next three games to pull even. Li hit a nice volley winner to set up match ball in the tiebreaker and advanced when Ivanovic hit the ball long.

“I was feeling in the first set I didn’t have the time to prepare my game plan,” Li said.

“So start of (the) second (set) I was feeling OK, I tried to hit more balls to the backcourt to see if I have the chance to turn the match.”

Radwanska needed 85 minutes to complete the victory over her 14th-seeded opponent.

“I knew it was going to be tough,” Radwanska said.

“She’s a very solid player, very consistent. She’s not giving any free points. So lots of good rallies and a quick first set, but then I think she started to play much better.”

NHL

Can’t do enough outdoor games says Bettman

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK — The idea of NHL hockey outdoors is no longer a novelty. Five Winter Classics have made the sight of a rink on a football or baseball field seem almost normal.

Those events brought such positive attention that the 2013-14 season will include six outdoor games.

The league is responding to complaints about watering down the product with a simple message: it’s giving fans what they want.

“If you’re looking at it on a national basis, obviously we’re doing more,” commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday at Yankee Stadium, which will host two games in January.

“But for teams and markets that want to host this (event), for fans that want to attend, we can’t do enough of them.”

In Canada and the United States, the NHL’s “Stadium Series” that includes stops at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium, Chicago’s Soldier Field and Yankee Stadium and the Heritage Classic in Vancouver might not get as much attention as the Winter Classic in Ann Arbor, Mich. But within those areas, they’re can’t-miss events.

“The reason we’re doing more outdoor games is really what it’s now doing locally,” Bettman said.

“This is an incomparable event and what happens is fans get connected to the game in ways they never imagined, we get new fans who, for the first time, will come and be a part of this. This is a fan-oriented, fan-driven event, and that’s why we’re doing so many games so we can bring it to more fans.”

The league expects all six outdoor games to be sellouts. That’s reason enough for Bettman to think that the NHL isn’t providing too much of a good thing.

“Fans love attending this event, the demand that we’re hearing and feeling from our teams and markets and venues wanting to host this game is overwhelming,” Bettman said. “So if you’re actually getting an opportunity to attend this game, you don’t think we’re doing too many of them.”

Going for six in a span of just over two months is part of what NHL COO John Collins called a “pretty unique” season thanks to the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.

Planning six outdoor games had a lot to do with timing.

The Winter Classic returns to its New Year’s Day spot when the Toronto Maple Leafs face off against the Detroit Red Wings at Michigan Stadium.

The Anaheim Ducks play the Los Angeles Kings at Dodger Stadium the night before the Grammy Awards, and the games between the Rangers and the New Jersey Devils and then the Islanders at Yankee Stadium take place during the lead-up to the Super Bowl at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. “Super Bowl?” Bettman asked rhetorically. “The fact that the Super Bowl happens to be played in NJ around the same time is a plus, but this was really NHL-centric.”

At best it’s impeccable timing and more likely a strategic way for hockey to get attention during as part of the biggest sporting event on the calendar.

And it’s also not a coincidence that two outdoor games, the Pittsburgh Penguins at the Chicago Blackhawks at Soldier Field and the Heritage Classic between the Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks at BC Place, take place the week after players return from Sochi.

Chicago is the first city to host a Winter Classic and then get another outdoor game.

But Bettman hinted that others — like Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Boston and Philadelphia — could benefit if the NHL decides to host multiple outdoor games in the coming years.

“If you’re a team that’s hosted one, now you’re not going to wait 10 or 12 years to get another one back,” Bettman said. “(And) for markets and teams that haven’t had a chance to host it, this brings it more of a reality sooner.”

Red Deer, Alberta’s Wrestler Kelsey Raab (Blue) competes against Ontario’s Nikki Cubitt during Wednesday nights gold medal match against Ontario at the Canada Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec on Wednesday.

Central Albertans triumph SHERBROOKE, Que. — Kelsey Raab of Ponoka settled for silver Thursday in the up to 80 kg category of the women’s wrestling event of the Canada Summer Games.

Raab, who advanced to the final by pinning Adrienne Lu of B.C. in the semifinals, lost 3-0 to Georgina Nelthorpe of Saskatoon in the goldmedal final.

Team Alberta, which was coached by Chris Wandler and managed

by Mandy Carroll of Red Deer, captured gold in the women’s volleyball.

Alberta lost the first two sets 21-25,13-25 to B.C. in the final before storming back to win 2513, 25-20, 15-9.

“Resiliency was the name of the game today,” said Wandler.

“After being down two sets we needed to find our rhythm and get in sync with each other. I am so proud of the girls, when it came down to the ‘do or die’ situation we came together as a team and got it done”.

Meanwhile, Elliott Moskowy of Red Deer won his fifth medal in Special Olympics swimming.

Moskowy finished second in the 50-metre freestyle and finished the competition with a gold and four silver.

Hidde Geurts of Innisfail was 11th in the 50m freestyle.

Sask. vs versus Calgary: CFL’s top two teams prepare to clash CFL

CALGARY — If he wasn’t playing in the game, quarterback Kevin Glenn says he would definitely watch it. If he wasn’t coaching in it, so would Corey Chamblin.

Friday’s CFL game at McMahon Stadium between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Calgary Stampeders may be just another regular-season game with two-thirds of the season still to be played.

But this game has more than enough back story to hook the interest of CFL fans.

“This is a game that I wish I could play in,” Saskatchewan head coach Chamblin said.

Added Calgary’s Glenn: “If I was on another team and this game was coming on, I would be tuned into watching this game. I’d tell my wife and kids ’daddy’s watching football tonight because the ’Riders and Stampeders are playing.”’

The Roughriders are the only undefeated team in the CFL this season at 5-0. The only loss so far for the 4-1 Stampeders was to Saskatchewan on July 5.

Saskatchewan can go 6-0 to start the season for just the second time in franchise history, or the Stampeders can pull even with the Roughriders atop the CFL standings.

The Roughriders can also win the season series by taking the second of their three meetings, which means Saskatchewan would finish ahead of Calgary if the two clubs were tied in the West Division standings at season’s end.

The Roughriders and Stampeders rank first and second respectively in the league in offence. Roughriders running back Kory Sheets is the CFL’s leading rusher ahead of No. 2 Jon Cor-

nish of the Stampeders.

In addition to having a premiere running back, both sides have multiple threats at receiver.

Neither team has missed a field goal this season. They’re tied for the average starting point in drives (39-yard line).

Both football clubs are coming off their bye weeks with questions at quarterback. Darian Durant is back after sitting out Saskatchewan’s last game with an ankle injury.

“It’s been feeling fine,” said Durant, who has yet to throw an interception this season.

“I’ve been really aggressive with the treatment and the coaching staff has been a big assist to me in monitoring my reps and making sure I have no setbacks during practice.”

Calgary backup Glenn will get the start Friday with Bo Levi Mitchell dressing as the No. 2. Mitchell went the distance in a win over Winnipeg in Calgary’s last game, which Glenn sat out with an elbow injury.

Drew Tate was announced as Calgary’s starter earlier this week, but had a setback with the throwing-arm injury he suffered late in that game in Regina in Week 2.

Head coach John Hufnagel said Thursday that Tate will be sidelined at least another two to three weeks.

“We want to take it cautiously,” Hufnagel said.

The coach compared Tate’s injury to tennis elbow, saying his quarterback was experiencing pain in the soft tissue connected to the bone.

As reporters crowded around Glenn on Thursday, defensive linebacker Keon Raymond called out to his quarterback “You’re important buddy, if you haven’t noticed.”

It’s always a toss-up as to whether

there will be more green than red at McMahon when the Stampeders host the ’Riders.

The multitude of Saskatchewan expats in Calgary, plus those who make the drive west from Saskatchewan, help decorate McMahon in Christmas colours.

Saskatchewan’s hot start has ’Rider Nation hoping their team will be in the Grey Cup in Regina in November.

Calgary’s defence will have its hands full containing Sheets and taking the football away from a Saskatchewan offence that hasn’t turned it over yet this season.

Stampeder defensive end Charleston Hughes, the team’s sack leader, has returned to the lineup after missing two games with a wrist injury. He threw gas on the fire Thursday with this comment about Sheets.

“I don’t think he’s probably going

to rush over 100 yards against us,” Hughes said.

“I don’t think he’s been hit yet. He needs to get hit. I don’t think he can take a hit.”

Countered Sheets: “Come hit me. If you can catch me, come hit me.”

So the stage is set. Whether the game lives up to the hype is another matter, but the result is important to both clubs.

“It means a lot in the standings even though it’s early in the season,” Hufnagel said.

Notes: Calgary receiver Maurice Price will play today after missing three games with a hamstring injury . . . Saskatchewan receiver Geroy Simon is four catches away from being the third player in CFL history to reach a career 1,000 . . . Calgary is 7-3 versus Saskatchewan in their last 10 games.

Bettman: Gretzky trade brought Committees study credibility to NHL in U.S. NCAA GOVERNANCE

Wayne Gretzky wipes away tears during a press conference to announce his being traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings at a press conference in Edmonton on August 9, 1988. Wayne Gretzky’s trade to the Los Angeles Kings from the Edmonton Oilers on Aug. 9, 1988 continues to create a ripple effect 25 years later. buted and the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas and in the midst of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s first season.

The league’s expansion across the Sunbelt continued under Bettman’s watch, due in no small part to the Gretzky trade.

“It was the reaction of people to the game,” Bettman said of the cause and effect.

“Wayne’s presence in L.A. and the success the Kings had demonstrated that hockey had credibility in so-called newer or nontraditional markets.”

Gretzky was never able to lead the Kings to a Stanley Cup. In 2012, they became the fifth team in a “non-traditional market” to do so, joining the Stars, Lightning, Carolina Hurricanes and Ducks.

Small-market teams aren’t im-

mune to financial difficulties like what the Oilers dealt with leading to the trade.

But no longer can owners get $15 million for a player like Peter Pocklington did from Bruce McNall for Gretzky.

And changes to the NHL’s business structure have given them increasing ability to compete.

“As you see from looking at how the game’s been played and the playoff races and the regularseason races, we have perhaps the best competitive balance that not only we have ever seen but that any sport has ever seen,” Bettman said.

“Every team has a chance of making the playoffs, you see that, and playoffs are incredibly not just entertaining but unpredictable.”

Ex-QB died from pneumonia; paranoia may have worsened with painkillers, brain disease

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LANSING, Mich. — A former college football star who disappeared in the Michigan wilderness during a fishing trip died of pneumonia caused by inhaling his vomit, after he became disoriented possibly because of a painkiller combined with having a degenerative brain disease, according to a report released Thursday.

The updated autopsy said 30-year-old Cullen Finnerty’s anxiety and paranoia in the woods the night of May 26 may have been exacerbated by an elevated level of oxycodone along with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the brain disease that has been found in a number of ex-football players.

Finnerty’s brain was studied at Boston University, which cautioned that it was highly unlikely the disease — which was moderate — alone led to his death.

“CTE possibly affected his judgment, insight and behaviour, but there are other factors, including the use of medications prescribed

by his doctor, that most likely contributed to the circumstances surrounding his death,” the school’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy said in a statement.

“Unfortunately because of the complexity of his medications and medical status, it is impossible to determine the specific combination of factors that led to his tragic death.”

What killed the record-setting Grand Valley State signal-caller, one of the winningest quarterbacks in college football history, has been a mystery for 2 ½ months.

An initial autopsy determined he had a “slightly enlarged heart and slightly cloudy lungs” but no trauma to the body. The final report from a local medical examiner includes toxicology results and the determination that he had CTE. “The only people that will know will be Cullen and God,” his father, Tim Finnerty, told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Who knows? There are all these the-

WORLD JUNIOR EXHIBITION

Canada beats Sweden

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Kerby Rychel had a pair of goals, including the game winner, as Canada defeated Sweden 7-3 Thursday in a world junior hockey exhibition game.

Canada scored three times in the span of a minute early in the second period to take a 4-0 lead. But Sweden stormed back with three goals to make it a one-goal game heading into the second intermission.

Frederik Gauthier gave Canada the momentum back with a goal 2:15 into the third period and Canada cruised to victory from there.

“We knew that Sweden would battle back. I was 100 per cent sure,” said Canadian goaltender Zachary Fucale, who picked up the win. “During the second intermission we talked it over and made some little adjustments, and I think we responded very well in the third period.”

Gauthier’s goal early in the third took some of the pressure off Fucale.

“It’s always good to have an early goal in a period, especially in that situation,” Fucale said.

Matt Finn, Connor McDavid, Sean Monahan and Bo Horvat also scored for Canada.

Carl Dahlstrom, Andre Burakowsky and Jacob de la Rose answered for Sweden.

Canada is now 2-0 at its summer junior camp after defeating Finland 5-3 on Wednesday.

Canada finishes its camp with a game against the United States on Saturday.

Fucale doesn’t see Canada changing its game plan too much against the archrival Americans.

“In the past I think there have been some spectacular games that have been played between both countries,” Fucale said. “In the end you make sure you just keep going and playing your game and make sure you give your best effort as a team no matter the opponent. We’ve got to keep going the Canadian way.”

ories.” He said his son also was taking a thyroid medicine at the time of his death, and the devastated family — he left behind a wife and two children — wonders if high doses could have caused him to become violently sick and confused.

During a family trip to a Lake County cottage about 65 miles north of Grand Rapids in western Michigan, Cullen Finnerty, his brother-in-law Matt Brinks and father-in-law Dan Brinks went fishing the night of May 26. \ The Brinks dropped off Finnerty around 8:30 p.m. and watched as he boarded a small personal inflatable pontoon boat and floated down stream.

The plan was to pick up Finnerty in about 30 minutes, but as it turned out, it was the last time they would see him alive. His body was found May 28 within a mile of where he had disappeared.

In two brief phone conversations with family members, Finnerty sounded disoriented, complained of being tailed and said he was taking off his clothes.

The NCAA spent Thursday working on a redesigned governance structure.

It will take a lot more time to get it right.

With college football’s most powerful conference commissioners calling for an overhaul, the board of directors and executive committees started discussing a major overhaul to how the NCAA works.

Neither board chairman Nathan Hatch nor executive committee chairwoman Lou Anna Simon offered specifics.

Thursday’s meetings officially kicked off the debate that is likely take at least another year. NCAA President Mark Emmert has already invited campus leaders to a two-day sit-down at January’s national convention.

“We worked very closely with the national office, with Mark’s leadership role to learn about the processes,” Simon said. “There is a commitment for real change. We know it’s going to be very hard work. We are going to play an active role and we are excited to take on that responsibility.”

Simon, the Michigan State president, described the discussion as “animated” and “dynamic.”

Hatch, the president at Wake Forest, was far more reserved but did acknowledge he committee hopes to have a formal proposal ready to be voted on next August.

“There is no doubt this is an ambitious timeline,” he said. “But it’s about our commitment to best govern Division I college sports in a way that benefits our athletes in the classroom and on the field.”

The repeated calls for change are one more issue Emmert and those inside the Indianapolis-based headquarters have dealt with in an already turbulent year.

In January, Emmert announced that a rogue enforcement official improperly obtained evidence during an investigation into the University of Miami. A month later, after an external investigation concluded that the NCAA violated its own policies, committee members announced they were giving Emmert a vote of confidence — a rare move.

Not much has gone right since then, either. There are two court cases pending, each of which could cost the NCAA millions, and a couple of weeks ago, the conference commissioner started lobbying publicly for the governance changes.

Last week, word leaked the NCAA was now investigating Heisman Trophy-winner Johnny Manziel for allegedly receiving money for autographs — something the NCAA declines to confirm. If proven, it would be a violation of NCAA rules and could jeopardize Manziel’s remaining college eligibility at Texas A&M. On Wednesday, the NCAA was stung with another embarrassing fiasco when USA Today reported that jerseys and other memorabilia items could be purchased on the NCAA’s own website if buyers used specific names, such as Manziel, in the search tool.

Emmert said Thursday that the NCAA would be out of that business as soon as possible.

So with all of that looming over headquarters, it was no wonder Simon was asked whether Emmert’s job was still safe.

“Mark is an integral part of our process to move forward to strengthen the NCAA and college sports,” Simon said, referring to changes in the governance structure.

How the process plays out is still up for debate.

Some believe the big-budget schools, which were prevented from offering athletes an additional $2,000 beyond what their scholarship covers by an override petition from schools with less money, will try to start a super-division.

The problem with that, of course, is figuring out how to integrate all the other current Division I schools into the NCAA’s most successful and profitable event — the men’s basketball tournament.

One thing that everyone does seem to agree, though, is that this debate must be more inclusive.

“There have got to be more people at the table early in the discussions, both the campus voice of faculty athletic reps and the senior athletic administrators because those are two groups that need to be represented,” Nebraska law professor and former infractions committee chairwoman Jo Potuto said.

“I think whatever is coming has got to have a substantial voice from the athletic directors and the faculty reps, and we have to have a way to articulate that policy.”

But the overarching goal remains getting it right.

NEW YORK — Hockey fans of a certain age tend to remember where they were on Aug. 9, 1988, when the Edmonton Oilers traded Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was working for the NBA 25 years ago and doesn’t recall exactly where he was.

His most vivid memory came a couple of weeks later when he saw the Aug. 22 Sports Illustrated cover that featured Gretzky and Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson.

“Remember thinking at the time that that demonstrated a huge step forward for hockey and its credibility,” Bettman told The Canadian Press on Thursday.

“It was obviously something that, in the annals of sports, was one of those seminal events that gets a tremendous amount of attention because of its import and impact.”

Sports Illustrated’s cover read, “Great move, Gretzky.”

At the expense of the Oilers and their fans, it also turned out to be a great move for hockey in the United States, which benefited from expansion and an infusion of players at the youth level.

“People paid attention to hockey in places where they might not have focused on it as much, and it was clear there was a great deal of interest in the game,” Bettman said.

“Wayne’s presence in L.A. was the catalyst for that.”

When Gretzky arrived in Los Angeles, The Forum wasn’t a loud or intimidating place to play. Sellouts and celebrity appearances became the norm, thanks to the NHL’s biggest star.

Not long after, Gretzky’s impact was felt beyond Los Angeles. The league added a second California team in 1991 with the expansion San Jose Sharks and a third in 1993 with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.

Bettman became commissioner several months before the Mighty Ducks and Florida Panthers de-

Colts taking worldly view at camp INTERNATIONAL FLAVOUR AT TRAINING CAMP

BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANDERSON, Ind. — Walk around Colts training camp, and it’s like taking a trip around the world.

“You were born in Japan, too?” offensive lineman Emmett Cleary asked receiver Rodrick Rumble after one recent practice.

“Yeah, man,” Rumble said as the two undrafted rookies walked into the locker room together.

Rumble didn’t last long. He was one of two players cut Thursday morning.

But there are nearly a dozen others around with international connections.

Linebacker Bjoern Werner, Indy’s top draft pick, first came to the U.S. as an exchange student from Germany, Kenya’s Daniel Adongo is trying to make the transition from rugby player to linebacker, right tackle Gosder Cherilus lived in Haiti until he was 12. Linebacker C.O. Prime is a Quebec native. Cleary was born in Tokyo and Rumble on an American military base in Yokosuka before moving to Washington state.

The parents of defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois and fullback Stanley Havili moved to the U.S. after living in Haiti and Tonga.

And then there are the world travellers. Andrew Luck spent part of his childhood living in London and Germany where his father, Oliver, worked, and linebacker Jerrell Freeman starred in the CFL before setting a Colts record with 203 tackles in 2012. Before becoming the best clutch kicker in NFL history, Adam Vinatieri was making field goals for Amsterdam in the World League of American Football, and defensive lineman Aubrayo Franklin took his first professional snaps in Frankfurt, Germany.

It makes for some interesting con-

“I think in five years, you won’t be calling me when you have 30 players from Europe playing,” said Tommy Wiking, president of the International Federation of American Football.

“That will be the norm.”

For a league that has trailed the NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer in worldwide appeal, this season could be the breakthrough Wiking and others have waited for.

Players who were born or reared in Australia, England, Estonia, Ghana, Germany, Jamaica, Japan, Liberia and Tonga were among the 333 invitees to this year’s annual NFL scouting combine. That list included Ezekiel “Zig-

gy” Ansah, Star Lotulelei and Werner — all among the top 25 picks.

Werner, who was called The Berlin Wall and The Germanator at Florida State, is the first graduate from USA Football’s International Student Program to reach the NFL. With foreign players already closing the gap on the U.S. in this uniquely American sport, Wiking said Werner’s success is bound to add more athletes to the mix.

“His success is really important in Germany, getting the German kids to participate on the world team,” Wiking said. “It’s huge for recruitment in Germany.”

Cherilus and Jean Francois, whose parents lived in Haiti, have provided assistance to the poor island country as it continues to recover from the deadly

2010 earthquake. Adongo is still getting acclimated to a helmet and pads, and Havili, who the Colts got in a trade with Philadelphia, just wants to make his parents proud.

“You’re representing the whole island every time you pull that jersey on, you’re representing your mom and dad,” Havili said, explaining that’s a traditional part of Polynesian culture. “My dad provided for eight kids by driving a bus, and he still drives a bus, and I think about that every time I come out here on the field. It motivates me.”

Not everyone knows the stories, though, as the meet-and-greet between Cleary and Rumble attests.

“My father works in the financial industry so he took a job in Tokyo, and then we lived in Germany briefly, too,” Cleary explained. “My dad thought he met Andrew’s dad at some party over there (in Germany).”

The big question now is which of these players will still be around for Indy’s season opener, Sept. 8 against Oakland.

Cherilus, Freeman, Luck and Vinatieri are all entrenched starters. Jean Francois and Franklin are expected to play key roles in Indy’s revamped defence. Havili is trying to become the first true fullback to make the Colts roster in years, and the Colts are being patient as Werner makes the transition from college defensive end to NFL linebacker.

That leaves Adongo, Cleary and Prime fighting for roster spots in a football world that seems to be expanding by the year.

“Football is getting more and more global,” Cleary said.

Notes: In addition to cutting Rumble, the Colts also put seventh-round draft pick Justin Anderson on the injured-waived list with a pectoral muscle injury.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Blaine Gabbert is getting the first crack at Jacksonville’s quarterback job, albeit without three offensive starters.

Coach Gus Bradley announced Thursday that Gabbert will start against the Miami Dolphins on Friday night, but he plans to give Chad Henne some repetitions behind the first-team offensive line.

“I think that he’s really shown a lot of poise,” Bradley said of Gabbert.

“I think he handles situations that have been presented to him in practice. They both have done some really good things, both have made some really good progress. Now, are they there yet? No, and I hope they would both answer it the same way. We just felt like with Blaine, with what he’s done the last couple days in practice and how he’s responded, we decided to give him the nod.”

Bradley also said running back Maurice JonesDrew, who is recovering from foot surgery, won’t play in the team’s preseason opener as a precaution.

“We just feel like he’s making good progress but still has to work on conditioning,” Bradley said. “He’s going in the right direction, but we felt that was needed for his recovery and his continued progress. And we want to be smart with him and not force anything. But we’re pleased with where he’s at right now and excited about it, and it’s good.”

Eight others, including four starters, will be held out because of injuries. The group includes starting defensive end Jeremy Mincey (concussion), rookie safety Johnathan Cyprien (hamstring) and receivers Justin Blackmon (groin) and Cecil Shorts III (calf).

The others are backup running back Justin Forsett (toe), defensive tackle Brandon Deaderick (groin) and cornerbacks Jeremy Harris (back) and Lionel Smith (quadriceps).

For the rebuilding Jaguars, the game gives Bradley a chance to see players in an even more competitive environment than practice — something he’s talked about throughout training camp.

include receiver Mike Wallace’s first game with Miami since signing a $60 million, five-year contract.

He missed the opener because of a groin injury.

The home crowd likely will focus on the QBs. Although Bradley calls the situation an open competition, many believe it’s Gabbert’s job to lose.

The Jaguars look at Gabbert’s first two seasons and find it difficult to fully evaluate what he can do and whether he can be a franchise quarterback.

They point to his rookie season, when he was thrown into the starting lineup in Week 3, without much offseason work and asked to play with a lacklustre receiving corps and a lame-duck coaching staff.

Gabbert was supposed to show improvement last year, but Jones-Drew went down early in the season

RED DEER ADVOCATE Friday, Aug. 9, 2013 B7 and Gabbert’s offensive line was a patchwork unit that provided inconsistent protection.

With MJD and the line getting healthy, and the receivers a year older, the Jaguars want to see what Gabbert can do in 2013.

It really starts against the Dolphins, when Gabbert will play against live action for the first time since a forearm injury late last season.

“I always expect to start football games,” Gabbert said. “But at the same time I know competition is always going to be the theme of this organization, so you never take things for granted. You have to go out there and prove yourself day in and day out.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart underwent a second surgery on his broken right leg in North Carolina on Thursday and remains hospitalized under observation.

The surgery was to insert a metal rod inside the tibia, and StewartHaas Racing said a specialist pressed the tibia to its correct position.

Stewart broke both the tibia and fibula in his right leg Monday night in a sprint car race in Iowa.

He underwent a first surgery in Iowa following the accident to clean and stabilize the injury.

Stewart is out indefinitely, and Max Papis will drive his No. 14 Chevrolet this weekend at Watkins Glen International, where Stewart is a five-time winner.

It will bring Stewart’s streak of 521 consecutive Cup starts to an end.

Stewart-Haas Racing has not named an interim driver for beyond this weekend, and said no discharge date has been decided for the 42-yearold driver/owner.

Stewart was leading with five laps remaining at Southern Iowa Speedway on Monday night when a lapped car spun in front of him, causing Stewart to hit that car and flip several times.

He was taken from the track by ambulance.

It was the third sprint car accident he’d been involved in over the last month, but his passion for grassroots racing remained strong and he’d bristled just last week at Pocono Raceway when asked why he continued to put his day job at risk for his hobby.

“We all know Tony loves to do those races.

We know that that’s his golf game, that’s his hunting, his fishing, all the things that the rest of us do,” said Greg Zipadelli, the competition director at SHR. “I think it makes him better at what he does here, but it obviously leaves the door open for a situation that we’re in now. I think that as many races as he’s run in the past, we’re probably lucky that this is the first time we’re dealing with this.”

“We’ll do our best at Stewart-Haas to put pieces together and sit down and evaluate it,” he added.

“That doesn’t mean anything other than we will talk about it, we’ll discuss it and we’ll try and do what’s best for Stewart Haas and our partners in the future.”

Stewart was 11th in the Sprint Cup standings with five races to go before the Chase for the championship, and won’t race for a fourth title now.

He’s been under fire all this week for ruining that opportunity for his team and his sponsors, but his childhood idol A.J. Foyt defended him.

“He ain’t no prima donna and life is short, and we don’t know how we are going to die or what’s going to happen,” Foyt said.

“I just hate to see anybody badmouth Tony for anything he’s doing. If they are worrying about their jobs and him getting hurt, what’s to say he won’t have a heart attack tomorrow and die?”

The Rimbey swim event is at the Rimbey Aquatic Centre from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Anyone interested in swimming as a single or on a team of two should contact Emily at emily@globalenrich mentfoundation.com or call 403-843-2437. The cost is $10 for swim admission, snacks and door prizes; or $25 if you want a Swim for Somalia T-shirt.

Students ‘tooled’ for school PROGRAMS ALLOW STUDENTS TO HAVE BACKPACKS, SUPPLIES

BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF Programs to collect schools supplies will help ensure children are not returning to school with empty backpacks.

Tools for Schools has already given away about 150 backpacks to students who started class at year-round schools.

A total of 1,350 are expected to be in students hands before remaining schools open this fall in Central Alberta.

“Last year we gave out 1,285

TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS backpacks filled with school supplies,” said Darcy Ouellet, fund development officer with Central Alberta Women’s Outreach, which runs Tools for Schools on behalf of the United Way of Central Alberta.

Other partners in the program are MNP, Staples and Peavey Mart.

Tools for Schools is run strictly by donation from individuals and businesses. Col-

lection bins for school supplies are set up at Red Deer’s three Walmarts, both Staples locations, Costco and the United Way. Ouellet said so far donations have been down this summer possibly due to people directing their donations to flood victims in Southern Alberta.

But advertising for Tools for Schools is just starting, he added.

“I anticipate we won’t have any problem with the donations this year.”

A recent survey by Staples showed 35 per cent of Canadian students will begin school this year without the necessary school supplies.

Tools for Schools supplies backpacks stuffed with 70 per cent of what kindergarten to Grade 12 students need.

Depending on the grade, supplies would cost families $85 to $150 to purchase.

ALGAE WARNING

Health advisory issued for water

going, he came forward and started organizing it from his end.

“It was more effort than I thought it would be because nobody does this sort of thing,” said Denny. “You say ‘I want to ship my car to Canada,’ and they say, ‘You want to do what?! Why don’t you just hire a car on the other end?’”

But some people understood why Denny and his small group of Caterham enthusiasts wanted to do this.

“I’m here to have a great time, experience the country, the people and everyone I’ve met so far has been friendly and interested in the cars,” said Denny.

The blue-green algae health advisory at Haunted Lake near Alix will be in effect until Oct. 1.

Alberta Health Services issued the warning a week ago. Residents living near the shore and visitors are being advised not to drink the water.

Pets should also be kept away from the lake.

Blue-green algae produces a toxin and those who consume contaminated water as a primary drinking source can develop serious illnesses, such as liver damage.

“It will remain in place until Oct. 1 because there is no simple way to determine whether the toxin has disappeared or what part of the lake it’s in,” said Dr. Digby Horne, a chief medical officer of health for Alberta Health Services Central Zone, on Thursday.

The advisory is posted at the lake.

Central Albertans and their pets are advised not to swim or wade in Haunted Lake.

Contact with bluegreen algae along the shoreline should also be avoided, along with consumption of fish from the lake.

Ten Caterhams and their owners and drivers left Red Deer Thursday as part of a 10-day drive to Vancouver Island. The rare sports car is a favourite of many drivers.

Brit wheels roll through Rockies CATERHAM CARS SET OUT ON ‘BLAT’ DRIVE TO VANCOUVER ISLAND

BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Ten sports cars — six imported from Great Britain — embarked on a 10-day trek through the Rocky Mountains from Red Deer on Thursday morning.

More than 20 enthusiasts of Caterham cars from all over North America and England gathered in a corner of the iHotel parking lot in Red Deer for the blat, or cruise as it is known in Canada.

They will drive to Vancouver Island over the next week and a half through the Rockies, a trip some are excited for.

“Last November my wife and I sat down and I said I really want-

ed to do this,” said Angus Denny.

“I really like touring and camping. We take a tent normally and pack it through Europe. But this time I said I would really like to go to Canada for fantastic driving through the Rockies. It’s going to happen, I have the time.”

The trip started as an idea three years ago pitched by Red Deer resident Terry Johns saying “Anybody fancy the idea of a blat through the Rockies?” Johns came to Canada eight years ago from England and is passionate about his Caterhams.

Denny, from Guildford, England, said it took a while for someone on the British end of the trip to step up and organize it. When he decided he was committed to

CARS: No reason not to come Joan and Taber Tompkins from Destin, Florida, were jokingly lamenting their decision to leave the Florida Panhandle and come to Canada on a cloudy and cool August morning in Alberta. But they were excited to get underway to a part of Canada they know well.

“We do a couple of smaller trips and there has not been a trip like this since 2005,” said Taber. “We didn’t want to miss it.”

Taber worked in Calgary for a summer once while Joan had done the Rocky Mountaineer rail tour with her parents previously.

“We love Canada and we had no reason not to come here,” said Taber. “We know there are a lot of twisty roads with not a lot of traffic. Every road I’ve seen doesn’t have as much traffic compared to some places we’ve been.”

They drove more than 4,000 kms over four days in a pickup truck carrying their pride and joy car in a trailer.

Mark Garnett was born in South Africa but moved to Surrey, England.

He and his wife came to Canada for the first time for this experience.

“We try to travel as much as we can,” said Garnett.

“We’ve done a lot of Europe and the opportunity aroused and we decided to do it.”

They flew into Vancouver and drove to Red Deer earlier this week, but can’t wait to see the rest of it, especially from the comfort of his own Caterham.

“You’re really low to the ground, but it gives you a real sensation of speed,” said Garnett.

“You can literally throw it around the corner and it is as though it is on rails.”

Johns said the English drivers packed their cars in June and likely won’t be able to unpack them until October, mostly the whole driving season.

“The thing you see with these cars is, everywhere you go people look at them,” said Johns. “It is such an unusual vehicle.”

Denny said driving the low-to-the-ground, performance vehicles through the mountains can be a lot of fun. He has driven the mountains in Europe, where the roads are narrower with sharper curves than in Canada, which means a lot of driving in first and second gear. While the Rockies’ roads are wider by comparison and gentler, but he said they are still fun and the scenery is great.

“Everybody on the road looks out, turns their heads and at every parked car they want to take photographs,” said Denny. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com

WATER: Symptoms Symptoms from contact with the noxious water can include skin irritation, rash, sore throat, sore red eyes, swollen lips, fever, nausea and vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Signs of toxicity in children are often more pronounced because they tend to spend more time in the water and are more likely to accidentally ingest it.

BRIEFS Drug cases stir concern Legal representation continues to be an issue for four drug trafficking suspects who are all represented by members of the same law firm.

Red Deer residents Ronald Allen Rue, 43, and Christina Charachuk, 49, were arrested along with Delburne residents Christina Graham, 26, and Jerod Fedoruk, 29, by members of Red Deer City RCMP’s combined forces special enforcement unit, on charges of trafficking drugs, possession of drugs for trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.

Police allege seizing 6.3 kilograms of marijuana, 28 grams of cocaine, cash and items associated with drug trafficking during a raid on May 16.

All four suspects have been released pending the outcome of court proceedings against them.

In Red Deer provincial court on Thursday, Crown prosecutor Dave Inglis expressed concern that all four suspects are represented by either of two Edmonton lawyers, Patrick Fagan and his daughter, Kaysi Fagan.

Inglis told Judge Bert Skinner that he is concerned about potential conflicts in legal representation as the case against the four suspects moves forward.

Red Deer lawyers attended court with the four on Thursday, acting as agents for the Fagans.

All four suspects are to return to court on Tuesday to confirm their legal representation and enter pleas.

Lacombe rail crossings upgraded Completion of rail crossing upgrades in Lacombe has been delayed a week while work crews respond to emergency work in Southern Alberta.

The Hwys 2A and 12 crossing has been closed since July 22 so improvements could be made.

The intersection was to be open Friday but that has been delayed until Aug. 15.

At Hwy 12, the crossing will be repaved and a small change made to alignment.

Pedestrian crossings will be added and westbound vehicles will no longer be able to squeeze into a small space between the tracks and Hwy 2A. Traffic will continue to be redirected south to 46th Avenue or north to Wolf Creek Drive.

The latest improvements are the final stage of a $19.3-million project to upgrade Hwy 2A. The province picked up $16 million of the cost and the city $3.3 million.

Lacombe violinist Rebecca Epp was recognized for her skill by the Alberta Music Education Foundation.

Epp received $1,000 of gift certificates from the foundation for music lessons, music school tuition or music books and equipment. She won in the category of using music in community service in the foundation’s Student Recognition Awards for musicians ages 11 to 19.

Videos sent by Epp and other applicants were evaluated by a judging panel and also posted on the foundation’s website for a public vote. Epp and Candace Chu, a pianist from Edmonton tied as People’s Choice winners.

Prices for new homes up 0.2 per cent in June: Statcan OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says its new housing price index rose 0.2 per cent in June, following a pattern of similar gains over the past 15 months. The federal agency says June’s rise comes after a 0.1 increase in May. For the fifth month in a row, Calgary led the advance as prices for new homes rose 0.5 per cent in June, largely because of higher costs for material, labour and land. Prices were also up 0.5 per cent in Saskatoon and London, which posted its largest monthly price movement since November 2012.

Loonie ahead almost a cent amid strong Chinese data TORONTO — The Canadian dollar gained more than half a cent Thursday, pushed upwards by strong export and import data from China that eased some concerns over the slowdown in the world’s secondlargest economy. The loonie climbed 0.92 of a cent to 96.86 cents US. Earlier in the day, it had a high of 1.12 cents to 97.06 cents US. China reported that exports were up 5.1 per cent from a year earlier, while imports jumped 10.9 per cent “It’s not a massive move but it’s not immaterial. (The loonie) came under a little bit of pressure recently because the street was really harping on how the U.S. dollar was about to bounce back from its recent weakness,” said Gareth Watson, vice-president of investment management and research at Richardson GMP Ltd. — The Canadian Press

Pipeline builds energy security: PM

BY MICHAEL TUTTON THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The proposed Energy East Pipeline isn’t solely to transport Alberta’s crude to world markets, but also to finally provide the East Coast with a large, secure supply of domestic oil, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday.

Harper was visiting the Irving Oil refinery in Saint John, where he said the TransCanada (TSX:TRP) pipeline would benefit consumers in Atlantic Canada, a region that depends on foreign sources of oil.

“We’re not just expanding our markets for our energy projects, which we need to do,” said Harper, seated next Premier David Alward and Irving Oil chairman Arthur Irving.

“We are also at the same time making sure that Canadians themselves benefit from those projects and from that gain energy security.”

The Energy East pipeline project, which still has to clear regulatory reviews, would deliver up to 1.1 million barrels per day from Western Canada to Quebec in late 2017. A 1,400-kilometre extension would be built to ship oil to Saint John a year later.

Some experts have expressed doubt that the pipeline would have much impact on the region’s fuel market, saying that energy companies are eager to ship their oil at the ice-free, deepwater port in Saint John because it would enable them to access more lucrative markets overseas by tanker.

The $12-billion development has the support of the Alberta and New Brunswick governments, but the minority Parti Quebecois government of Pauline Marois has remained noncommittal on the proposal.

Harper prefaced his remarks by saying the federal government will remain independent from the project and ensure it is properly regulated. But he also repeatedly said the idea was “exciting” and praised

the private sector’s efforts to make it a reality.

“It’s a project that will assure all of Canada will benefit from our energy industry,” he said.

“We will have a large amount to sell to the world, but for the first time we will have the capacity to sell our own products to our citizens.”

Irving Oil has said it plans to construct a $300-million marine terminal to expand shipping, a decision prompted by the private sector interest in the west-to-east pipeline project as announced by TransCanada last week.

Environmental groups have cautioned the proposal poses a fresh set of risks to the country’s water supply if spills occur.

First Nations groups have also expressed concerns about the project, saying they will not support it unless environmental protection and aboriginal and treaty rights are guaranteed.

SUN NEWS NETWORK

CRTC nixes cable request

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Sun News Network says it will stay on the air while the CRTC reviews the way news channels are regulated in Canada.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on Thursday rejected the network’s bid to be carried on basic cable, casting fresh doubts on the future of the controversial upstart broadcaster.

But the CRTC also says it will review the regulations for news channels in Canada.

“The diversity of voices is an essential component of our society, particularly as they relate to news and information in the Canadian broadcasting system,” CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais said in a statement.

“Television news channels provide an important public service by ensuring that Canadians are exposed to different opinions and perspectives on matters that concern all citizens. We are concerned that, under the existing rules, Canadian news services are not being given a pride of place in our broadcasting system.”

That provides a glimmer of hope for Sun News, which told the CRTC this spring that anything short of mandatory carriage would spell the end of the channel, dubbed “Fox News North” by some critics when it made its debut in April 2011.

“We are disappointed that the CRTC did not rule in favour of our application for a mandatory distribution order,” Sun News executive Kory Teneycke said in a statement.

“However, we are encouraged they have found merit in the main arguments laid out by Sun News on price, channel placement and distribution, and have provided a mechanism to address these issues.”

The application by Sun News “acted as a catalyst for this broader review of the framework for national news services announced today,” he added.

Mandatory carriage would have generated significant revenue for the network, which lost $17 million last year — a situation parent company Quebecor (TSX:QBR.B) calls “clearly unsustainable.”

But the CRTC says Sun News didn’t meet the criteria for a mandatory carriage.

“Given its exceptional nature, the CRTC has set the bar very high for obtaining a mandatory distribution order,” the commission said.

Sun News wasn’t the only channel denied a bid for must-carry status.

The regulator also rejected 11 other applications, including Vision TV, Maximum Television Canada, the Canadian Punjabi Network and Starlight: The Canadian Movie Channel, which had the backing of luminaries like David Cronenberg, Denys Arcand and Atom Egoyan.

Mobile glycol heating units pitched as alternative to steam

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR

LARCOM

Oilpatch operators have long relied on boilers and steam to combat the frigid conditions they often work in. Larry Cunningham hopes to change that.

The Red Deer man recently started Larcom Heating Systems Inc. with his son Scott. It uses mobile glycol heating units to generate the heat needed for oil and gas well completions.

“I think the industry could change to this,” said Cunningham, a petroleum engineering technician with a third-class steam engineer ticket who is currently working as a completions consultant.

He explained that boiler systems need a certified operator on site. The steel pipes that carry the high-pressure steam lose much of their heat before they reach the wellhead, and there are safety issues associated with the use of steam.

The units are also cumbersome to move, and must be serviced by a separate water truck and fuel truck.

By contrast, Larcom’s mobile glycol heating units are not subject to Alberta Boilers Safety Association guidelines.

“You’ve got to train the person how to run the equipment, but there’s no certification needed to run it,” said Cunningham.

That means rig personnel or other workers on site can be taught to operate it, and it can even function through the night without

constant monitoring.

Glycol is also a more efficient carrier of heat, with insulated hoses carrying the liquid.

“We’ve minimized our heat loss, which means you can get by with less energy to do the same work.”

He added that it’s less physically demanding to deploy a Larcom system, which is transported aboard a 20-foot trailer. Inside is a million-BTU glycol heater, 100 gallons of glycol storage, a generator, hoses and insulation, and enough diesel fuel to operate for 1 ½ days. The unit also includes a portable steamer with a 400-gallon water tank, allowing the operator to quickly thaw frozen equipment like valves.

Cunningham sold two of the mobile glycol heating units to an oilfield rental company before deciding this spring to set up a company with Scott. They now have three units and are gearing up for the busy winter season.

A 40-year veteran of the upstream energy sector, Cunningham began developing glycol heating systems a decade ago through his predecessor company, Cham Services Ltd. It grew into Canada’s largest frac heating company before Cunningham sold the business in 2008.

Telecoms ramp up lobbying ahead of Verizon’s arrival

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada’s biggest telecoms are ramping up their lobbying against a set of rules they believe give foreign companies like Verizon Communications Inc. an unfair advantage in the wireless communications sector.

The chief executive of BCE Inc. (TSX:BCE) said Thursday that he’s optimistic the Canadian government will rethink rules which, among other things, prevent Canada’s biggest wireless carriers from buying up smaller rivals.

“The final decision won’t rest with BCE, it’ll rest with our government, and I’m hopeful they’ll see the unfairness to our shareholders, customers and Canadians in this policy,” George Cope told analysts Thursday.

“We will use every avenue we can in a professional way to pursue this.”

The complaints come amid reports that U.S.-based Verizon Communications is exploring a move into the Canadian market by purchasing Mobilicity or Wind Mobile, two

of the new wireless carriers that launched their services a few years ago.

The rules allow foreign entrants to buy small Canadian wireless carriers with less than 10 per cent of the market share — part of the federal government’s effort to increase competition in the sector.

The Canadian carriers are disputing rules that would allow Verizon to use their wireless networks and to bid on more wireless spectrum —the radio waves used by mobile communications devices — than the incumbent carriers at a January auction.

So far, Industry Minister James Moore has stuck by the government’s policy, despite lobbying from Canadian wireless carriers.

Telus Corp. (TSX:T) said any changes would need to be made by Sept. 17, which is the last day to file a deposit to participate in the spectrum auction.

With the deadline fast approaching, Telus used its earnings conference call Thursday to ask investors for help.

“Given the current potential for a signifi-

cantly unfair playing field, we are asking our investors and customers to make their views known,” chief executive Darren Entwistle said.

“They can do this by writing letters to the Members of Parliament and by requesting meetings with them to discuss this very important topic for our country and our citizens.”

The telecom giants have been stepping up their lobbying in recent weeks.

Rogers (TSX:RCI.B) registered 13 of its board members as lobbyists last month to press for changes to the spectrum auction rules, according to a federal database.

The July 19 registrations indicate board members will be communicating with Industry Canada and the prime minister’s office about the “technological and financial implications” of the current policies.

“Our board thinks this is an important issue for Canadians,” Rogers spokeswoman Patricia Trott said in an email.

The S&P/TSX composite index climbed 140.19 points to 12,552.92, while the Canadian dollar surged 0.92 of a cent to 96.86 cents US. The commodities-heavy TSX was boosted by figures from China that showed exports and imports both increased in July, beating expectations and easing concerns over a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy. Exports were up 5.1 per cent from a year earlier, while imports jumped 10.9 per cent.

The positive data also helped push December gold bullion ahead $24.60 to US$1,309.90 an ounce, while copper climbed nine cents to $3.27. The September crude oil contract moved down 97 cents to US$103.40 a barrel.

The exchange was helped by strong gains in the metals and mining sector, which rose by 7.36 per cent, as shares in Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX:TRQ) climbed more than 12 per cent to $5.10 after it announced an $600-million loan from Rio Tinto PLC that will help it fund its $6.2 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia.

Shares in Thompson Creek Metals Co. (TSX:TCM) also gained 11.74 per cent to $3.30 after it announced the name of a new chief executive.

Nearly all sectors were up on the TSX, except for energy, telecom and utilities.

U.S. indexes also registered some gains after being mixed for most of the day. The Dow Jones industrials was ahead 27.65 points to 15,498.32, the Nasdaq climbed 15.12 points to 3,669.12, while the S&P 500 went up 6.57 points to 1,697.48.

In economic news, the latest figures showed that the number of Americans who applied for unemployment benefits over the past month has fallen to its lowest level in almost six years, signalling fewer layoffs and a strengthening U.S. economy.

The U.S. Labor Department says the four-week average dropped 6,250 to 335,500 — the lowest level since November 2007, the month before the Great Recession began.

The markets had a lot to digest Thursday, as several major Canadian corporations from a variety of sectors came in with their latest earnings.

Shares in retailer Canadian Tire Corp. (TSX:CTC.A) closed at a record for the year, up 7.11 per cent or $5.94 at $89.45 after significantly beating analyst estimates. It said it earned $154.9 million in its second quarter and said it was looking for a financial partner for its credit card business.

Its record share price for the last 52 weeks was $87.45. The retailer provided few details on its plan, but said it would reduce the financing risk of funding its credit card assets.

Movie exhibitor Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX) saw its stock closed at a record, up $2.48 or 6.61 per cent, at $40 after it reported a profit of $28.5 million in the second quarter on $301.6 million of revenue overall. The results were up from $21 million or 34 cents per share on $263.7 million in revenue a year ago. Its last record share price was $38.80.

Manulife Financial (TSX:MFC) reported core earnings, which strip out a number of one-time charges, of $609 million or 31 cents per share, up from $599 million or 30 cents per share a year ago. Analysts had been looking 34 cents per share of core earnings, according to estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters. Its shares finished down 25 cents, or 1.39 per cent, at $17.79.

There was little reaction to Quebecor’s (TSX:QBR.B) shares after the CRTC rejected Sun News Network’s request to be carried on basic cable, saying that the upstart network does not meet the criteria for a mandatory distribution order.

The media giant, which owns the channel, saw its stock gain 25 cents or 0.53 per cent to $47.10 at the close.

Canadian Natural Q2 profits dip THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. on Thursday reported lower second-quarter profits and said it doesn’t expect an ongoing bitumen spill at its Primrose oilsands project to have a long-term impact on production.

The oil and gas explorer posted net earnings of $476 million, or 44 cents per share, compared to $753 million, or 68 cents per share a year earlier.

Stripped of one-time items, adjusted net earnings were $462 million, or 42 cents per share — coming in just a penny below what analysts had on average been expecting, according to Thomson Reuters.

Revenue dipped slightly to $3.74 billion from $3.83 billion.

Daily production averaged 623,315 barrels per day, down from 679,607 a year earlier.

An emulsion of bitumen and water has been seeping onto the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range in northeastern Alberta because of what Canadian Natural calls “mechanical failures” on old wells at its Primrose East property.

The company has been ordered to limit the amount of steam it pumps into the Primrose reservoir while the Alberta Energy Regulator investigates.

As a result, production next year is expected to be about 10,000 barrels per day lower than

originally targeted.

But company president Steve Laut said he’s not concerned about any longer-term impact on production at Primrose, as he’s confident the company can either repair problematic wellbores or adjust its steaming strategy to work around them.

Having a small amount of stranded resource at

Primrose would be the “very worst case,” Laut told a conference call with analysts.

“But the most likely case is when we go by these wellbores, we adjust the steaming strategy. We’ll get the reserves, but it may take longer to get the reserves out versus the existing optimized strategy.”

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tim Hortons’ new chief executive has made a play to satisfy restless investors by increasing the restaurant chain’s debt to repurchase shares and changing its U.S. growth strategy.

“This company and brand is woven into the fabric of Canada and I believe Tim Hortons has many opportunities ahead of it in Canada, the US, and internationally,” Marc Caira said Thursday during a conference call with analysts.

The coffee and doughnut chain said it’s going to borrow up to an additional $900 million to fund the repurchase of its shares. That’s on top of $100 million already earmarked for repurchases over the coming year.

The company said it’s not certain how much it will actually spend on the revised stock buyback program, but the additional borrowing will preserve its flexibility to invest the business while creating value for its shareholders.

Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) has received regulatory approval to buy back up to 10 per cent of its publicly traded shares, raising a previous spending limit set at $250 million.

In June, Tim Hortons came under pressure from shareholder Scout Capital Management, which called on it to revamp its U.S. expansion plans and borrow money to buy back shares. The push followed an reports earlier this

year that U.S. investment firm Highfields Capital Management also wanted changes at Tim Hortons.

Caira, who took over as chief executive last month, said the move Thursday will also allow the company to take advantage of low interest rates.

“We will also be placing our debt ratios more in line with both our Canadian retail peer group and many of our U.S. restaurant peers with similar capital intensity.”

By maintaining an investment grade rating, Tim Hortons will preserve its financial flexibility for its next stage of development.

Caira said the company remains committed to expanding its U.S. presence, but is looking at altering how it funds that growth. It has accelerated efforts to attract partners which would carry more of the financial burden, presumably in exchange for lowering Tim Hortons franchise royalties. He said the change should reduce capital deployed in the U.S. beginning next year.

“I very much see the U.S. as being a must-win market for us. Based on the dynamics of the market, and the footprint we already have created, I believe the U.S. represents an opportunity for significant long-term earnings growth for us,” he told analysts.

Tim Hortons said Thursday it earned $123.7 million or 81 cents per share, up from $108.1 million or 69 cents per share year ago.

Telus Q2 profit falls to $286M

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Telus Corp.

(TSX:T) said Thursday it earned $286 million in its most recent quarter, down from $299 million a year ago, as revenue grew six per cent.

The telecommunications company said the profit amounted to 44 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30 compared with a profit of 46 cents per share a year ago.

After factoring out certain items — including restructuring costs and income tax adjustments — earnings per share were 54 cents, up from 48 cents a year ago.

Operating revenue improved to $2.83 billion, up from $2.67 billion.

The company attributed the increase in revenue to growth in both its wireless and wireline business helped by new subscriber additions and higher average revenue per unit.

LARCOM: Optimistic He left the energy sector briefly to build giant snow melting systems. But despite the effectiveness of the systems in ridding municipalities and airports of white piles of frozen water, the price tag proved too steep, said Cunningham.

“Politically, it was a capital expenditure and hard to justify. It’s easier in an emergency to spend a half million dollars hiring dump trucks to haul it away, because it’s viewed as an emergency.”

Now that he’s returned to the oilpatch, Cunningham is optimistic about the potential of his new venture. He acknowledged that the units Larcom currently has are too small to provide

“Telus continues to generate strong operating and financial results driven by both the wireless and wireline segments of our business, which is significantly differentiating us from our global peers,” president and chief executive Darren Entwistle said in statement.

Wireless revenue increased by 5.9 per cent to $1.5 billion in the second quarter compared with a year ago, helped by growth in data services and postpaid subscribers.

Data revenue increased 17 per cent to $601 million in the quarter helping average revenue per unit to increase by 83 cents to $61.12.

The company added 100,000 net new postpaid customers, partially offset by a loss of 21,000 prepaid subscribers for net additions of 79,000 compared with 86,000 a year ago. the heat needed for drilling rigs.

“Boilers will probably always be there,” he said.

But glycol heating systems could be used to heat some drilling fluids. Cunningham also sees an application when it comes to warming or maintaining the temperature of frac fluid.

He’s also looking at non-oilpatch uses, such as warming idle machinery in cold climates.

Larcom’s website is attracting interest, he said, and once its units are out in the field they should turn a few heads. The challenge will be convincing service companies to mothball their boilers and adopt a new approach.

“Oilfield is probably like any other industry, the old way or the old school of doing things — it’s hard to change.”

Gravity’s ‘here’ Dolphins appear to have longest social memory

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LORNE OJA

ENERGY

WASHINGTON — Forget elephants. Dolphins can swim circles around them when it comes to longterm memory.

Scientists in a new study repeatedly found that dolphins can remember the distinctive whistle — which acts as a name to the marine mammal — of another dolphin they haven’t seen in two decades.

Bailey the dolphin hadn’t seen another dolphin named Allie since the two juveniles lived together at the Dolphin Connection in the Florida Keys.

Allie ended up in a Chicago area

zoo, while Bailey got moved to Bermuda. Yet 20 ½ years later, Bailey recognized and reacted to Allie’s distinctive signal when University of Chicago researcher Jason Bruck played it on a speaker.

Other dolphins had similar steeltrap memories.

And it’s not just for relatives. It’s non-kin too.

“It’s mind-blowing; I know I can’t do it,” Bruck says.

“Dolphins in fact have the longest social memory in all of the animal kingdom because their signature whistle doesn’t change.”

Studies have shown that monkeys can remember things for about four years and anecdotes have el-

ephants remembering for about 10, Bruck says in a paper published Wednesday by Proceedings of the Royal Society B. But remembering just a sound — no visuals were included — boggles even human minds, he says.

For Bruck, 33, it’s as if a longlost schoolmate called him up and Bruck would be able to figure out who it was just from the voice.

Faces, yes, old photographs, definitely, but voices that change with time, no way, Bruck says.

“We’re not as acoustically as adept as dolphins,” Bruck says.

Gravity is something we all are very familiar with.

We learned of its harsh consequences as toddlers learning to become mobile and growing up we suffered skinned knees, and possibly, even broken bones.

We appreciate gravity for keeping us tethered to the planet, but we suffer its influence as we try to walk or bike up a hill.

Somehow, over the generations, we have learned to harness this invisible but ever present force.

Water wheels powering grain or textile mills, and the ever popular hydroelectric dam projects are examples that spring to mind. Granted using water to store energy that can be converted to electricity is a brilliant concept, it does however present some major obstacles.

Environmental impacts on the flooded area, loss of arable land, keeping the resulting reservoirs free from silt, and the turbine intake free from debris are all serious concerns.

A new concept for energy storage is being developed that uses the potential energy of a hill, using gravity to provide kinetic energy to produce electricity when needed. Enter ARES, Advanced Rail Energy Storage, a company based in Santa Barbara, California, which is currently developing this concept using a 3.75:1 scale electric locomotives traveling on a rail bed running downhill.

The idea is that energy from a wind farm, solar array, or a combination of both, would use the excess, generated during periods of low demand to power the locomotives to the top of the track. When demand increases and sunshine or wind cannot meet the need, then gravity is allowed to pull the heavy vehicles down the hill and generate power when the wheels turn the generators to which they are coupled.

The electricity is then fed back into the grid to modulate the alternating power supply. The system is scalable and thus can be sized as required by the electric grid it feeds. Need more power?

Simple, add more cars. With estimated design capabilities of 2 GW of power and 32 GWh of energy storage the ARES system has the projected capability to allow alternate sources of generated electricity to be utilized around the clock, no matter the weather.

Far from being just an idea on paper the company has a prototype in place at its R&D research facility in Techapi, California. Weighing in at 5670 kg it runs on a 381 mm track that is 268 meters long.

The prototype advanced rail energy storage system is used to prove the working concept for their patented Regulation Energy Management system, and is used to even out the power supply for an operating wind farm located in the vicinity.

It is estimated the ARES can be deployed for half the cost of the other storage systems presently available.

Using gravity made available by a slope, this system has a light foot print on the environment as it burns no fuel, does not produce any emissions, is built of benign materials and uses no water.

As energy systems go it definitely overcomes some very serious hurdles.

DOLPHINS: Big on sound It helps that dolphins have massive parts of the brain that are geared toward sound.

Bruck thinks dolphins have the incredible mem-

ory because it could help them when they approach new dolphins on a potential group hunt. And even more likely it probably allows dolphins to avoid others that had mistreated them in the past or dominated them, he says.

Male dolphins had a slightly better memory than females and that’s likely a case of worrying about dominance. Some males would hear Lucky or Hastings, dominant males, that they hadn’t heard in years and they’d react by going into an aggressive S-pos-

ture or screaming their own signatures, Bruck says.

Outside researchers praised the work, saying the next effort is to see whether somehow the dolphins visualize their old buddies when they hear the whistle. “The study raises some very interesting questions and hints at the wider importance of long-term social memory in nonhuman mammals and suggests there are strong parallels between dolphin and human social recognition,” said researcher Stephanie King at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

SPEAK OF THE EDEVIL Speak of the Devil

By Allison Leotta Touchstone Allison Leotta’s latest novel, Speak of the Devil, pits prosecutor Anna Curtis against Diablo, a villain believed to be the devil himself.

Diablo and his gang attack a brothel, and a doorman ends up missing his head. Curtis soon discovers evidence of a human trafficking ring, with Diablo’s gang at its heart. Witnesses are too terrified to testify, and people who own businesses in the area controlled by the gang refuse to talk.

Although Curtis has her hands full trying to build a case, her personal life couldn’t be better.

She’s engaged to Jack Bailey, who works in her office. Members of the same gang murdered Bailey’s wife years earlier, and he wants Curtis to help him destroy them. Then Diablo decides Curtis is stirring up things too much and puts a hit on her and everyone she loves.

Leotta, a former federal sex-crimes prosecutor, has the background to make Speak of the Devil seem authentic. She also keeps the story line moving without delving too much into the minutia of how the office runs on a daily basis. And with the focus on the characters rather than on courtroom proceedings, the novel works quite well.

This book is written with enough detail to hold your attention, but in many ways the group is far from likable.

All the modern versions of bad luck attach themselves to this crowd.

Still, there is a soapopera taste to the story that is entertaining and attractive.

Lay and then Texas Gov. George Bush play roles in committing the state to renewable energy.

In 1996, Bush told a top staff member, “By the way, we like wind,” and when the dumbfounded aide starts to ask a question, Bush simply replies, “Go get smart on wind.”

The Great Texas Wind Rush is inspiring, but not sugarcoated. The authors note that wind energy has boom-and-bust cycles just like fossil fuels, and that massive change doesn’t come without problems.

A huge transmission line project that cost almost $7 billion has angered some consumers, who paid for it through utility bills.

Designers and crews struggled with windless days, turbines that collapsed and exploded in flames, plagues of fire ants and rattlesnakes, and a monster inland storm whose winds reached 163 mph.

But by 2012, Texas was generating about 9 per cent of its electricity from wind, and its turbines had more than double the wind capacity of California, and 100 times that of Massachusetts.

When the wind really blows, the Texas figure can rise to 20 per cent, and even more giant wind farms are being built.

The Great Texas Wind Rush is a thoughtful, valuable story for anyone who cares about renewable energy or climate change, because while many people protest the impact of nuclear power,

43510H9

Millions of people are asking how or if the country can transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy — and ironically Texas is leading the way in actually doing it.

In “The Great Texas Wind Rush,” Kate Galbraith and Asher Price tell the strange, inspiring and at times funny story of how a culture known for Big Oil came to embrace Big Wind.

The tale begins in the late 1970s when a fatherand-son team began to build new turbines, and by 1981, the second wind farm in the nation went up in northwest Texas.

Thirty years and various disasters, backroom deals and fits of inspiration later, Texas had eclipsed California and every other state to become by far the biggest wind energy producer.

Galbraith and Price understand the wonky side of energy policy, but they also know how to tell a story.

The backdrops include Austin’s Armadillo World Headquarters (a legendary nightclub), a small-town preacher who wanted to power his church with wind, new words (windcatter) and dry Texas humour.

When a national environmental group asked about the risks that turbines might pose to coastal migratory birds, one wind booster replied that the birds would get smarter over time and that the giant blades could also be “the first line of defence against avian flu.”

The environmentalists reportedly were not amused.

Green groups played an important role in helping Texans embrace wind power, but in many ways the book turns the typical environmental narrative upside down.

Instead of motivating people with doom-andgloom stories of global warming, the authors make the case that an old-fashioned desire to make money helped propel the boom.

Oil and natural gas lie below the ground and wind howls above, but to some businessmen and landowners, they’re just two different opportunities to exploit.

For example, former Enron CEO Kenneth

and the arts that consume their time and are so impressed with themselves that they dub their group “The InterThe year is 1974 and estings.”

Blood-sugar linked to dementia HIGHER BLOOD SUGAR, EVEN SHORT OF DIABETES, MAY RAISE THE RISK OF DEMENTIA, STUDY SUGGESTS

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Higher blood-sugar levels, even those well short of diabetes, seem to raise the risk of developing dementia, a major new study finds.

Researchers say it suggests a novel way to try to prevent Alzheimer’s disease — by keeping glucose at a healthy level.

Alzheimer’s is by far the most common form of dementia and it’s long been known that diabetes makes it more likely.

The new study tracked blood sugar over time in all sorts of people — with and without diabetes — to see how it affects risk for the mind-robbing disease.

The results challenge current thinking by showing that it’s not just the high glucose levels of diabetes that are a concern, said the study’s leader, Dr. Paul Crane of the University of Washington in Seattle.

“It’s a nice, clean pattern” — risk rises as blood sugar does, said Dallas Anderson, a scientist at the National Institute on Aging, the federal agency that paid for the study.

“This is part of a larger picture” and adds evidence that exercising and controlling blood pressure, blood sugar

and cholesterol are a viable way to delay or prevent dementia, he said.

Because so many attempts to develop effective drugs have failed, “It looks like, at the moment, sort of our best bet,” Anderson said.

“We have to do something. If we just do nothing and wait around till there’s some kind of cocktail of pills, we could be waiting a long time.”

About 35 million people worldwide have dementia; in the United States, about 5 million have Alzheimer’s disease.

What causes it isn’t known. Current treatments just temporarily ease symptoms.

People who have diabetes don’t make enough insulin, or their bodies don’t use insulin well, to turn food into energy.

That causes sugar in the blood to rise, which can damage the kidneys and other organs — possibly the brain, researchers say.

The new study, published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine, just tracked people and did not test whether lowering someone’s blood sugar would help treat or prevent dementia.

That would have to be tested in a new study, and people should not seek blood-sugar tests they wouldn’t normally get otherwise, Crane said.

“We don’t know from a study like this whether bringing down the glucose level will prevent or somehow modify dementia,” but it’s always a good idea to avoid developing diabetes, he said.

Eating well, exercising and controlling weight all help to keep blood sugar in line.

The study involved 2,067 people 65 and older in the Group Health Cooperative, a Seattle-area health care system.

At the start, 232 participants had diabetes; the rest did not.

They each had at least five bloodsugar tests within a few years of starting the study and more after it was underway. Researchers averaged these levels over time to even out spikes and dips from testing at various times of day or before or after a meal.

Participants were given standard tests for thinking skills every two years and asked about smoking, exercise and other things that affect dementia risk.

After nearly seven years of followup, 524, or one quarter of them, had developed dementia — mostly Alzheimer’s disease.

Among participants who started out without diabetes, those with higher glucose levels over the previous five years had an 18 per cent greater risk of developing dementia than those with

lower glucose levels.

Among participants with diabetes at the outset, those with higher blood sugar were 40 per cent more likely to develop dementia than diabetics at the lower end of the glucose spectrum.

The effect of blood sugar on dementia risk was seen even when researchers took into account whether participants had the apoE4 gene, which raises the risk for Alzheimer’s.

At least for diabetics, the results suggest that good blood-sugar control is important for cognition, Crane said.

For those without diabetes, “it may be that with the brain, every additional bit of blood sugar that you have is associated with higher risk,” he said.

“It changes how we think about thresholds, how we think about what is normal, what is abnormal.”

How to guard against ticks and their diseases TICK POPULATIONS EXPANDING IN CANADA

BY ADRIAN LEE THE CANADIAN PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

An Ixodes pacificus Cooley & Kohls (female) is shown in a handout photo. Across the country, tick populations are growing — and with them, tickborne diseases like Lyme.

In some cases, they’re simply spilling across the border.”

Lyme isn’t the only concern that ticks bring. Anaplasmosis is the second-most prevalent, which shares similar flu-like symptoms and can be fatal. Recently, ticks have developed the ability to carry borrelia miyamotoi bacteria, as well; it also causes Lyme-like illness.

But Lyme remains the most common. National Lyme data weren’t collected until 2009, and the numbers for 2012 and 2013 have yet to be compiled. Lindsay says, however, that human cases of Lyme nearly doubled between 2009 and 2011, from 144 to 258.

Lindsay says birds have been migrating through the northeastern U.S., where more established populations of ticks have developed. That, plus global warming, has given ticks new areas to take root in Canada.

About 10 to 15 per cent of ticks, which hitch rides on birds or other animals, are infected when they first arrive. But that number can rise as high as 50 per cent as a population becomes more established.

“We’ve been (monitoring) for over 20 years, and

In the summer of 1991, Jim Wilson was in the process of leaving a home behind, moving from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. Unbeknownst to Wilson, he was also embarking on an odyssey that would leave him sick and weakened for years.

“I was cleaning out the yard, and I must have gotten something in my navel, because I had an eightinch bull’s-eye rash around my navel,” says Wilson, now 59. “It stayed for about three weeks, and then it faded away.”

A month after the bite, Wilson found that his legs became numb and tingling, and he needed sleep every few hours. By Christmas, he was constantly nauseous, struggled to get out of bed, and had developed neurological problems as well as issues with his nerves, eyes, joints and hearing and lymph nodes. Drug cocktails and a battery of tests from a vast array of medical specialists could not identify the problem.

But that first rash — and the flu-like symptoms that followed — are some of the telltale signs of a bite from a tick, a blood-sucking insect that can be as small as a seed but whose population is expanding rapidly in new areas in Canada — and bringing with it the growth of tick-borne diseases like Lyme.

“We have seen significant range expansion in one of the types of ticks that transmits Lyme disease,” says Dr. Robbin Lindsay, a senior research scientist with the Public Health Agency of Canada.

When Lindsay first began studying ticks in the early ’90s, the population was mostly localized in Long Point, Ont. In the two decades since, Western black-legged ticks have gathered steam in B.C., and one type in particular — the black-legged tick, which can transmit as many as five disease-causing agents including the bacterium that causes Lyme — now has populations stretching from Alberta to Newfoundland.

“We now have (five) populations in Nova Scotia, a couple in New Brunswick, a fairly extensive population in southwestern Quebec, a number in Manitoba, and elsewhere in Ontario, primarily in eastern Ontario,” Lindsay says.

“In Atlantic Canada, those populations are fairly discrete and localized in one area, but in Ontario and Manitoba, they appear to be developing over a broad geographic area — it’s like a front of ticks....

the patterns of ticks are completely different from when we first started. The ticks are really moving,” Lindsay says.

Awareness in wooded habitats — “You’re not going to get them in a Walmart parking lot” — should be able to prevent infection, he says, suggesting lightcoloured clothes that cover up your skin, including long pants, tucked into socks if possible.

DEET-based repellents are able to avert ticks in addition to mosquitoes and black flies, but Lindsay adds they need to be reapplied more frequently than labels suggest as ticks are larger and stronger than those other insects.

Upon returning home, a thorough visual check of your body is the best way to prevent infection. Lindsay suggests taking a shower not just because ticks can be washed off, but because it puts people in a situation where they are naked in front of a mirror.

He also recommends laundering your clothing, ideally using the dryer first.

“They can actually survive through the washer, but the dryer, not so much.”

He adds that not all bites result in the telltale expanding bull’s-eye rash, and that any tick found on the body should be removed carefully — preferably with tweezers, pulling as closely as possible to the skin without rotating or crushing the insect. The location should be noted, in case further medical treatment is needed.

The bacteria are located in an infected tick’s belly, so in most instances it takes up to 36 hours for the bacteria to reach the salivary gland and transfer into the body.

Lindsay says that while the news can be alarming, awareness will go a long way.

Sheer fabrics can be playful, sexy BUT THERE’S A LINE NOT TO CROSS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — An unexpected flash of skin under a sheer fabric can be sexy and sophisticated on a date, at a party, even in the office.

But with anything much more than a sliver, it’s easy to cross the too-much-of-a-good-thing line. And there’s no taking it back.

Just ask Tom Mora, women’s design director at J. Crew, who’s created sheer beach coverups stylish and elegant enough to be worn as tops and dresses. But, he says, wearer beware: “You should wear a slip, or a cami and brief.

They are great pieces but their real intent is for a swimsuit to be underneath.”

He adds, “I don’t want to go into a restaurant and see someone in a completely sheer top.”

At least there, you can look down at your plate. What about the office when sheer fabrics do what they are supposed to do and draw the eye to a particular place?

Remember what your mom said: “Eye contact,” advises Audrey Slater, fashion director at Redbook magazine.

“This trend is definitely peaking this year, she says, ”but it’s not

a trend for everyone, anytime and everywhere.“ For the past few seasons, designers have been crafting strategic sheer panels into their collections, with Vera Wang carving out bodices and Marchesa putting sheer blouses under corsets. J. Crew has made regular offerings of chiffon and cotton voile, and Ann Taylor reinterprets the menswear-inspired button-shirt using lace and georgette.

It’s not just a warm-weather look, either, with retailers planning peek-a-boo styles for fall, too.

The collective eye has adjusted and embraced these looks as more delicate alternatives to bare skin, and as a feminine touch to more structured silhouettes.

But maybe some women have gotten a little too comfortable, which could make the people around them uncomfortable.

Slater says she’d much rather see a sheer panel or inset than a whole sheer garment. She definitely doesn’t want to see the bra of any of her peers and colleagues across a desk, but a sheer panel at the yoke from the bustline to neckline that shows bra straps “is an acceptable strategy.”

Lisa Axelson, creative director at Ann Taylor, says she loves the look of a gown with a fully sheer or lace back, but it’s a special occasion look, a really special occasion. For daily life, she’d recom-

mend an elongated pencil skirt that hits below the knee with a sheer blouse that has a matching camisole. Navy would be a lovely colour.

For an evening work-related event, she likes a black lace blouse with a full-coverage black bra under it and black trousers.

There always has to be balance to the outfit, and that’s never more clear than with something sheer, Axelson says. If there’s sheerness to the top, the bottom should be modest, while a sheer hemline is best complemented by a demure top.

Mora suggests having a boyfriend blazer or slouchy cardigan handy, also for contrast — or the unexpected meeting you might be called into.

Charles Benton, senior director of design of contemporary brand Bebe, would like to see more women imitate the sultry style of Sophia Loren, who has been playing with sheer illusion fabrics, especially black-on-black combinations, on her bombshell figure since the 1950s.

She wore illusion sleeves with what was otherwise a sweetheart black cocktail dress to the Golden Globes in 2010.

He thinks the resurgence of that style is largely due to a Dolce & Gabbana collection for spring 2012, which was indeed inspired

by La Dolce Vita.

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play two reluctant partners thrown together when a bank heist goes awry and they have to figure out exactly what the heck is going on.

Cop flick hits the mark

BY BRUCE DEMARA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

2 Guns Three stars (out of four) Rated: 14A The opening shot features a train barrelling down the track towards you, the audience.

It’s an apt metaphor for the film that follows — big, noisy and fast — and if you enjoy train trips (and action movies), you’re almost certainly going to like 2 Guns.

Oh yeah, and the train stays on the tracks, much like the film, which gets us from point A to point B in a journey that, while predictable, is a breezily pleasant ride.

Credit here is largely due to the casting of two ap-

At the pealing actors in the lead roles, Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. They play two reluctant partners thrown together when a bank heist goes awry and they have to figure out exactly what the heck is going on.

The chemistry works between the two, with Wash-

ington playing Bobby “Beans” Trench and Wahlberg his partner, Marcus “Stig” Stigman.

Both are working undercover to bring down a Mexican drug kingpin, though neither knows the other isn’t who he says he is.

Trench has a penchant for porkpie hats and uses a couple of fake gold-capped teeth to bolster his gangsta image.

Stigman likes to chew gum and has a habit of winking at people, usually women, which Trench finds rather annoying.

As the story opens, the two are sitting at a diner, a popular hangout for the local fuzz, and planning to rip off the nearby Tres Cruces Savings and Loan.

“Never rob a bank across from a diner with the best doughnuts in three counties,” Trench sagely observes. So they torch the place, only to return a week later to knock over the bank.

Bringing hope through song DEE DANIELS BELIEVES SHE’S FINALLY DOING WHAT SHE WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO DO

BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF

JAZZ AT THE LAKE FESTIVAL

It was a long, winding road that took Dee Daniels from childhood gospel singer to internationally acclaimed jazz singer.

But Daniels, who performs on Saturday, Aug. 17, at Sylvan Lake’s Jazz at the Lake Festival, believes she’s finally doing what she was always meant to do — bringing people hope through song.

“My ultimate goal is to be a catalyst,” said the Vancouver resident, who sees herself as a conduit between the source of inspiration, “whether it be God, love, the universe or your higher self — whatever you want to call it,” and her audience.

Her aim is to use storytelling songs “to touch people the way they were meant to be touched.”

Whenever Daniels sings about life’s pain and losses, as well as blessings and bliss, she connects with people on a personal level. This was borne out “hundreds of times,” when strangers have approached after concerts to say her music has made a big difference in their lives.

“People have come up to me and said, ‘I was so despondent before I came here. I don’t know what made me come . . . but I feel hopeful now.’ The first time I heard that, I didn’t know what to say. I was so touched that it brought tears to my eyes,” admitted Daniels.

The Oakland, Calif., native has always loved to sing but wasn’t always a professional singer.

Although at age 11, she was paid to lead several gospel choirs and play piano at church, Daniels graduated from college with an arts education degree and started working as a visual art instructor at a Seattle high school.

She loved her creative-minded students, but alarm bells began ringing at the sight of the older “burned out and bitter” teachers. “I thought I will only do this for three years,” she recalled.

Before her first year was up, Daniels was recruited by friends to sing in a rock band that also sidelined in R and B music.

The band was so successful, she was performing six evenings a week. Soon teaching art five days a week became untenable, so she quit to officially join the band, which was renamed Dee Daniels and Dynamite.

Daniels took private voice lessons with Seattle coach George Peckham, who had mentored Ann and Nancy Wilson of the band Heart and others, to expand her vocal range from “about an octave and a half” to four octaves.

But she also learned that a voice could be a fragile thing.

Whenever the guitarist in her rock band broke a string on his instrument, she began visualizing her voice likewise snapping against the “wall of amps”

them and began putting her own spin on the music.

“I would change the melody. I didn’t know the things I was doing was improvisation. I just heard different things inside the melody that I wanted to explore. But next thing you know, members of the media were calling me a jazz singer. I said, ‘What are they talking about?’ ” A good friend told Daniels that she should take the jazz descriptive as a compliment.

And over time she came to realize that “jazz provides you with a greater freedom (to interpret) music than I had ever had before.”

Daniels, who looks to Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand and Etta Jones (and Etta James) for inspiration, finally found her true calling.

The mother of a 25-year-old daughter moved to Canada nearly 30 years ago after meeting and marrying the Canadian graphic designer who created her concert posters. “It was love at first sight,” Daniels recalled, with a laugh.

She has recorded with many jazz notables, including Toots Thielemans, Houston Person and Clark Terry, and has also performed to acclaim around the world.

In 2011, Daniels was named artistic director of the Frank DeMiero Jazz Festival, which is dedicated to jazz vocals with about 60 participating schools in Washington State. Her other distinctions include a plaque on Vancouver’s Granville Street Walk of Fame; a 2002 induction into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame, and a command performance for the king and queen of Belgium’s 25th wedding anniversary.

Daniels’ objective — both in the jazz standards she selects to sing and in the original material she writes — is finding subject matter that rings true. “I pass on songs all the time because if I can’t make it real to me, then I can’t make it real to my listeners,” said the singer, who searches for lyrics with universal meaning.

“It doesn’t matter what culture you come from or what language you speak, the same elements of human nature exist around the world. People want to hear about life experiences in general.”

Although Daniels has performed several times with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and also at the Calgary jazz festival, this will be her first appearance at Sylvan Lake’s Jazz at the Lake. She’s looking forward to it — especially as her friend P.J. Perry will be playing as a member of her backup quartet.

Tickets to the 8 p.m. concert at the Alliance Community Church at 4404 47th Ave. in Sylvan Lake are $35. For more event and ticket information about the Aug. 15 to 18 festival, visit www.jazzatthelake.com. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Daniels quit the band, hired a accompanist with a Hammond organ and began singing pop standards.

“Jazz came much later. It was an evolution,” recalled the singer, who eventually got sick of performing cover songs the way people were used to hearing

Behar leaving The View today

PLACES

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The last of the original hosts on ABC’s daytime talk show The View — except for the program’s inventor, Barbara Walters — makes her exit Friday.

Joy Behar’s last day is punctuated by a profane joke. Taped a week ago, the program is a salute to Behar with special guests, a serenade and highlights of her memorable moments, including interviewing Barack Obama and walking out on Bill O’Reilly.

Behar, 70, a standup comic and writer, said after the taping that she wants to do something different without being held to the schedule of a daily talk show. She’s exploring different areas, and said she met with CNN chief Jeff Zucker about possibilities there.

“I don’t want to do just one thing,” she said.

Behar began her co-host duties with the first episode of The View in August 1997. Walters’ idea for a talk show with women hosts kicking around the news of the day, followed by celebrity guests, proved to be a success from the start.

Walters recalled learning about Behar after being taken by Regis Philbin to hear her nightclub act.

“For years she has been proving how right I was” to hire her, she said.

ABC hasn’t named a replacement for Behar. The network recently said Jenny McCarthy would replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who left for a job at Fox News Channel. Producers face another big decision next year when Walters retires.

The changes will give The View a chance to reach out to a younger audience. The median age of a typical viewer is 61.6 years old, according to the Nielsen company. That’s about two years older than The Talk, the CBS lookalike show that has had a particularly strong summer.

How the 35mm nitrate print arrived in Pordenone remains a mystery.

That’s when things get hairy, because the $3 million or so in drug money they’re expecting to find is actually about 10 times that amount and the people they thought they could trust are not exactly playing things straight.

A mayhem-filled road trip ensues and a bevy of villains emerges, including a corrupt navy officer named Quince (played by James Marsden), drug czar Papi Greco (played by Edward James Olmos) and a twitchingly sadistic CIA operative named Earl (played with edgy verve by Bill Paxton). There’s also a DEA agent love interest of Trench’s named Deb (played by Paula Patton).

While the secondary actors all acquit themselves well, it is the interplay between Trench and Stigman that occupies most of the screen time, and our attention. Both actors have previously demonstrated their charisma and presence onscreen, so it isn’t a huge surprise that we like them both, even as they squabble with each other on their way to becoming an effective team.

The screenplay by Blake Masters — based on the graphic novels of Boom! Studios’ Steven Grant — is perhaps a bit too murky and complicated. But this is a minor consideration.

Iceland-born director Baltasar Kormakur demonstrates he’s got the chops to play in the big-time Hollywood league, both in assembling a very capable cast and in overseeing an enjoyable buddy cop action film with some interesting visuals and the odd surprise tossed in.

The studios, Universal Pictures and TriStar Pictures, have spared little expense in promoting the film, hoping to ensure 2 Guns succeeds where other recent summer blockbusters have failed. Their efforts are likely to be rewarded.

Something borrowed, something blue, nothing new THE SMURFS SEQUEL HAS EVERYTHING YOU HATED ABOUT THE FIRST MOVIE, AND MORE The Smurfs 2 1.5 stars (out of four) Rated: G Chances are I missed it amongst the avalanche of promotional tie-ins — gummi Smurfs, anyone? — but it seems to me The Smurfs 2 requires a dairy connection.

Something along the lines of a fat blue cow, contentedly mooing as this franchise once again milks moviegoers of their hard-earned greenbacks.

This is another way of saying The Smurfs 2 has everything you hated about the first movie, and more. It’s brought to you once again in UP3-D (Utterly Pointless 3-D) as a combo of animation and live PETER action, with more bad Smurf HOWELL puns and product cash-ins than you can shake a blue stick at.

The “you” in question being anyone over the age of six who is obliged to sit through this cavalcade of craven capitalism, which is directed on autopilot by a returning Raja Gosnell and penned by no fewer than five writers, who I suspect may really be robots.

Not much has changed in the lives of those goshdarn-cute blue Smurfs, their human allies Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and Grace (Jayma Mays) and their “evil” foe Gargamel (Hank Azaria).

The Smurf-out-of-water storyline from the 2011 summer hit has essentially been transposed from New York to Paris, raising the alarming thought that this franchise could plow on through an endless series of world destinations and undemanding tots.

In lieu of novelty, but true to sequel logic, everything has been magnified. The Smurfs now have a pair of not-nice rivals known as the Naughties: Vexy

Young Smurfette (Katy Perry) finds herself feeling blue about her family history on the unhappy occasion of her birthday.

(Christina Ricci) and Hackus (J.B. Smoove), who are in cahoots with the cranky wizard Gargamel and his sneering cat Azrael in again trying to steal valuable “Smurf essence.”

The film’s constant daddy issues are tripled. Agitated adman Patrick now has not only a rambunctious young son (baby Blue from The Smurfs, grown to tot) but also a meddlesome stepdad (Brendan Gleeson). Meanwhile, young Smurfette (Katy Perry) finds herself feeling blue about her family history on the unhappy occasion of her birthday.

Smurfette is the catalyst for the whirring portal between the bucolic Smurf and frantic human worlds to reopen. Hijinks ensue again when a band of brave Smurfs, led once again by the platitudinous Papa Smurf (the late Jonathan Winters), storm the human world anew.

The Smurfs, of course, have to outwit Gargamel to prevent “total Smurf-ageddon” from occurring, or

something equally dreary.

As Papa Smurf would tell you, it’s important for everybody to just be what they want to be. Do you love unconditionally? That’s very Smurfy of you.

You’d have to be smoking a very large blue crack pipe to think the sellers of Smurf smarminess would want to mess with this very profitable formula, originally based on a Belgian comic strip that began in 1958.

And it’s hard to begrudge a guy like Brendan Gleeson, who has toiled in so many indie underachievers, enjoying a big payday.

Still, it would be nice to see a little more creativity and a little less capitalism for our little blue buddies.

Do these Smurfs have to moo so loudly?

Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

Clear and merciless, Breaking Bad begins its conclusion NEW YORK — The very first shots of the very first episode of Breaking Bad were so bright and clear, they almost hurt your eyes. Cacti, rock formations, a mesa, and then Walter White’s famous pair of billowing, belted khakis silhouetted against a cerulean sky, objects of such stark clarity and solidity they looked as though you could snatch them out of the TV set.

Since this start, Breaking Bad’s distinguishing characteristic has been this sort of hyper-reality — not just of objects, but plots and people and places as crystalline as the blue meth Walt and Jesse Pinkman have spent the past five seasons slinging. While other great dramas hew to murky syntax, opaque motivations, suppressed emotions, Breaking Bad has always been a creature of the desert, operating in direct sunlight. Its arc was stated (Mr. Chips would become Scarface), its morality expressed (a man really can break bad, and that’s not good), and its characters etched as lucidly as those pants against the sky. We know intimately who Walt and Skyler White, Jesse Pinkman and Hank Schrader are, even though we don’t know, always, what they will do, or what will be done to them. Breaking Bad is as psychologically exacting as it is outlandishly thrilling, complex, intricate and heart-stopping, but it has never been mysterious: The only real mystery — and it sets my nerves jangling just thinking about it — has been how it will end.

When we left off, Walter White, deep into the rococo phase of his megalomania, had decided to walk away from his life as a drug lord. Having recently arranged the prison murders of nine men and having personally killed Mike Erhmantraut, Walt had no enemies left to vanquish, no competitors left to squash. He could go clean, even if it was way too late to go good. Had Walt any challengers remaining, he might not have quit. His competitive drive and egomania is such that he would never finish on anyone else’s terms. But with all immediate, noncancerous threats dispatched and so much cash on hand that silverfish were sure to take much of it, he let Skyler convince him to get out of the business. And then his DEA brother-in-law Hank, motivated by a once-in-alifetime desire to read poetry for fun, finally realized

Panicland performs tonight The Winnipeg band Panicland is bringing its brand of “pop insanity” to Red Deer.

The group’s three 18-year-old musicians mix hip-hop and R&B influences with echoes of The Beach Boys,

Walter White was not his mild-mannered confidant, but the highly dangerous drug kingpin he had been tracking for years. Walt has worked all the way up the chain of adversaries from scumbag to drug lord to honest-to-god good guy. The final confrontation is at hand.

In the first episode of the new season, Hank’s reaction to this revelation is visceral: it makes him physically sick. But if you go back to the first season of Breaking Bad knowing what you know now, you can see Walter White’s worst qualities simmering inside him all along. Walter White was once a lawabiding chemistry teacher, disrespected in his classroom, emasculated in his own home, beset by cancer and credit card bills, and motivated by a desire to provide for his family. But he was also a keeper of secrets and nurser of grudges, a spectacular liar with an explosive and violent temper, a man with a predilection toward emotional and sexual bullying, nursing the deep belief that he had been wronged and overlooked by the world.

At first his behavior seemed macho: beating up a jerk who teased his son; blowing up an insufferable rich guy’s car; returning home at the end of the pilot having murdered two men in an RV to take Skyler from behind (“Is that you, Walt?” she asked). Or it seemed explicable, at least: choking a man to death after less than a week on the job; trying to force his wife to have sex with him against the refrigerator post-murder; obsessing about meth craftsmanship.

But these were just harbingers of more unhinged, ruthless actions to come. We underestimated Walt by overestimating him, seeing good intentions where there was also always his thrumming, humming, unquenchable need to be recognized.

For many seasons, the sheer charisma of Bryan Cranston’s performance kept viewers on Walt’s side, even as we watched him poison a small child and let a woman choke on her own vomit. No actor has ever lied so well on camera — been simultaneously so transparent to the audience and so believably opaque to his peers. But the writers’ view of Walt eventually won out. Breaking Bad has enormous sympathy for the ethically compromised. The show wants us to feel for Skyler, who is now deeply engaged in laundering drug money; for Mike, a problem-solving multiple murderer; and, most of all, for distraught, disturbed, haunted, drug-dealing, people-killing Jes-

Bay City Rollers, Elvis Presley and Leif Garrett. The resulting music is described as a “beautiful mess of pop insanity.”

se. But Breaking Bad has no truck with Walt’s pride and self-delusion, his amoral quest for immortality.

Breaking Bad, like all truly great shows, is an endlessly rich text. Among many other things, it is a dark comedy about Marxist alienation and DIY culture, a tragedy about the precariousness of middle-class life in America, a riff on global business practices, scenes from the disintegration of a marriage, and a thrilling action adventure. But most simply it is about a man steroidally, homicidally motivated not to die of no importance. Walter White, like every tyrant and also every selfie-taker, just wants to be — as the tagline points out — remembered, and as more than a regular guy and by more than just those who love him.

What Walt wants, much more than money, is longterm infamy and respect. He cannot have that. The flaw of Walt’s ambition is built right into the command “Remember My Name.” The name that Walter White wants everyone to recall is Heisenberg, and that name already belongs to someone else. Walter White has perverted and poisoned his life, and the life of everyone around him, to construct an “empire” in someone else’s name, built on the only thing less stable than sand — speed. Not just the blue stuff, but the stuff of time itself, which Walt is running out of. Walt has made himself a myth as if that could sustain his life, and that is the biggest self-delusion of all.

Writing in Time, James Poniewozik rightfully argued that, as it sprints toward the finale, it’s not Breaking Bad’s job to punish Walter White: “It’s important, and necessary, and unavoidable, that we should ask what Walter White deserves,” he writes, “But it would be a mistake to decide that Breaking Bad has a responsibility to give Walter a just punishment — that it owes it to him, and to us, and that if it doesn’t . . . then Breaking Bad is a bad show, both dramatically and morally.” But Breaking Bad’s high-wire plotting works so in concert with its ethical outlook that almost all of the show’s many possible outcomes — Will Walt kill Jesse or Hank? Will he die? Will he kill Jesse or Hank and then die? What will happen to his family? Will he succumb to cancer? Will he have to go back to teaching chemistry? Will he thrive? Justice always finds the man who thinks that he can live forever.

It will find Walter White, too.

SIMS Robert Blake “Bob” It is with great sadness that the family of Robert Blake “Bob” Sims announces his passing on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at the age of 85. A native of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Robert lived an exciting life through many careers; as a surveyor, logger, RCMP officer, realtor and developer. Robert grew from his birth May 14, 1928 into a tall, slim man with strikingly blue eyes. The avenue leading away from the Rocky homestead near what was known as Oras, Alberta, was through the RCMP. His first posting was Dauphin, Manitoba where he met his one and only true love, Eva Virginia Watson. They married July 1, 1950. Eva died also at 85 years, on August, 29, 2009 of Alzheimer’s. Through her lengthy illness, Robert never left her side. Robert went on to a very successful career in real estate in Edmonton, and developing properties in his winter home north of San Diego, California. He loved the game of golf and was a long-time member of the Edmonton Country Club where he made many friends. He was a Christian man, and in his early years studied to become a minister in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He is a member of the Masonic Order, RCMP Veterans Association and Sons of the American Revolution.

Robert Sims is survived by his three children; Pamela Rae Dalsin of Calgary, Curtis Blake Sims and Daphne Eva Kuehn and her husband Alvin Lloyd Kuehn of Edmonton; seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren; and by siblings Cameron Dale (Lynne, deceased) Sims of Grande Prairie, Alberta and Gail Marie (Les) Massey of Burnaby, B.C.

JOBAGY Robert Charles October 14, 1932 - August 1, 2013 Robert Charles Jobagy passed away with his family by his side on Thursday, August 1, 2013 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. He was born October 14, 1932 in Lethbridge, Alberta to John and Ann (Rutkie) Jobagy. Bob graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in 1951. In August of the same year, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. After leaving, he began working for Alberta’s Department of Highways. In 1960, Bob moved to M.E.L. Construction out of Red Deer, Alberta where he did the bidding on projects all over the province. In 1968, Bob returned to work for Alberta Transportation. While employed, Bob obtained a degree in Engineering from S.A.I.T. in Calgary, Alberta. In 1988, Bob celebrated his retirement. One year later, he went back to work, this time for Torchinsky Engineering. About ten years passed before he re-retired, finally giving him adequate time to properly groom his precious hedges. Just under sixty years ago, on August 29 of 1953, Bob married Shirley Ruth Fredrickson in Calgary, Alberta. In 1963, they bought their first home in Red Deer where they raised their family and have lived ever since. Bob was a proud and loyal member of the B.P.O.E. (Elks Club) for many years and was a lifetime member of the Moose Lodge. He appreciated the little things in life like sunny days when he could sit on the front step with his dog, get outside to work on his hedge, or take a long drive with his family. Bob was preceded in death by his father John and mother Ann, his step-father Vincent, father-in-law Harry, mother-in-law Gladys, brothers Steven and Lawrence, sister Grace, nephew Bob, and niece Sandy. Bob is survived by his wife Shirley of Red Deer; his children Terry (Leanne) Jobagy of Red Deer, Susan Alton of Penhold, and Gerry Jobagy of Calgary; grandchildren Krista (Rob), Jessica, James (and their father Gordy), Devon (Holly), Trevor (Kayla), Greg (Brittany), Michelle, and Andrea (and their mother Cathy); great-grandchildren Kassandra, Jasia, Vee-Enna (and their father Jessee), and Toni; sister Margaret; brother John (Helen); sister-in-laws Jean and Bev (Dave), nieces Dale (Steve), Bernie, Shauna, Marcie, Diana, Anne, Darcy, Janet, Rhonda, Kim, Sherry, and Casey; nephews David, Eugene, Mickey, Tim, Johnny, Rodney, Harley, Julian, Darcy, Daks, and Ryan, special family friend Neil, and numerous other friends and extended family. A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45th Street, Red Deer, Alberta at 2:00 pm on Friday, August 16, 2013 with a lunch to follow.

Honorary pallbearers are Jasia Boupa, Andrea, Michelle, and Greg Jobagy, James and Jessica Alton, Devon Jobagy, and Daks Johnson.

Four dead in Dallas-area shooting

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — A former teacher who once moonlighted as a hip-hop dancer entertaining NBA crowds has been arrested in the fatal shooting of four people in two Dallas-area homes, and police said Thursday he used an explosive device in one of the attacks.

Investigators arrested Erbie Bowser, 44, on Wednesday night at the second crime scene, DeSoto police Cpl. Melissa Franks said. Charges are pending, she said.

Four youths were also wounded in the attacks, two in each home. Franks said the attacks were a domestic incident and that investigators were trying to determine how Bowser knew the victims.

The first shooting took place at a house in southwest Dallas late Wednesday and the second happened about 15 minutes later in DeSoto, about 10 miles away, Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said.

Police were called around 10:30 p.m. to the home in Dallas where they found four gunshot victims. Police say 43-year-old Toya Smith and her 17-year-old daughter, Tasmia Allen, were slain at the home. Her 14-year-old son was wounded, as was a 17-year-old girl described as a family friend.

“She fell in my arms and she was bleeding and I moved her back to the sofa and that’s when I saw my grandbaby there,” said Toya Smith’s mother,

Law enforcement investigators work the house of a fatal shooting Thursday morning in DeSoto, Texas. A man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of four people in two Dallas-area homes, just minutes apart, and police are investigating if he used a grenade or other explosive in one of the attacks.

Lurlean Smith, who discovered the victims after going to the home following a phone call with her daughter that abruptly ended.

Smith said she and other family members accompanying her noticed

that lights were on but no one would answer the door. Near a window, she heard what she thought was someone gasping for breath.

She said it looked like there had been a struggle in the house. “He had

Friends of suspected Boston Marathon bomber indicted

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Two college friends of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indicted Thursday for allegedly trying to thwart investigators by throwing away fireworks and other items they found in Tsarnaev’s dorm room the day before his capture.

Authorities later discovered the fireworks in a New Bedford landfill, the federal indictment says.

Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19 and nationals of Kazakhstan, face charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice. The two, who were in the U.S. attending college and shared an apartment, have been detained since they were charged in a criminal complaint in May. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison. Both are scheduled for arraignment Tuesday.

Tsarnaev, 20, is accused in the April 15 blasts at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 260. He was captured April 19 in the Boston suburb of Watertown, after he was found hiding in a drydocked

boat, hours after a shootout with police. He’s pleaded not guilty.

Tazhayakov’s attorney, Arkady Bukh, said his client did nothing wrong and he’s tried for months to convince authorities to drop the case.

“For me, this sounds like a witch hunt,” he said. “And this is the same view (my) client has.”

Kadyrbayev’s attorney, Robert Stahl, said his client never knowingly took evidence from Tsarnaev’s dorm room.

“My young client ... was shocked and horrified to learn that someone he knew was involved in the terrible Marathon bombing,” he said.

Also Thursday, a hearing scheduled for Monday for a third Tsarnaev friend charged in the case was cancelled. Robel Phillipos is accused of lying to investigators about visiting Tsarnaev’s dorm room. In court documents, his attorneys say they’re in talks that could resolve the case.

Tsarnaev, Kadyrbayev, Tazhayakov and Phillipos were all students at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.

On April 18, FBI investigators working the bombing posted pictures of

Tsarnaev and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an alleged co-conspirator who died during the manhunt for the suspects.

According to the indictment, that day Kadyrbayev received a text message from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev suggesting that, if he wanted, he could go to Tsarnaev’s “and take what’s there.”

The indictment alleges that Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov removed several items from the room that evening, including Tsarnaev’s laptop computer and a backpack containing fireworks, which were opened so their explosive powder could be seen. They also found a jar of petroleum jelly, which Kadyrbayev told Tazhayakov he believed Tsarnaev used to make bombs, the indictment said.

The indictment says that night, after Tazhayakov agreed, Kadyrbayev put the backpack with the fireworks and jelly in a garbage bag, and tossed the bag in a trash bin outside the apartment.

The next morning, after Tsarnaev had been identified as a bombing suspect in multiple news reports, they allegedly watched as a garbage truck emptied the bin.

Colombia coca crop down, making Peru top grower

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia reduced its area under coca cultivation by 25 per cent last year, the United Nations said Thursday, meaning Peru has likely surpassed it as the world’s No. 1 cocaine-producing country.

The annual reduction was Colombia’s biggest since the international body began monitoring it in 2001.

The UN Office of Drugs and Crime is not slated to release 2012 Peru coca crop numbers until next month.

Earlier this week, it announced that Bolivia’s crop, the world’s third-largest, dropped for a second straight year.

The UNODC said the Colombian coca crop fell to 185 square miles (48,000 hectares) last year from 247 square

miles (64,000 hectares) in 2011. It placed Peru’s crop at 240 square miles (62,500 hectares) in 2011.

Peru says it destroyed 54 square miles (14,000 hectares) of coca last year, all manually. That compares to 505 square miles (131,000 hectares) eradicated in Colombia, most via U.S.funded aerial spraying.

Neither UNODC officials in Peru’s nor the country’s drug czar, Carmen Masias, would comment on whether Peru has passed Colombia.

Former Peruvian drug czar Ricardo Soberon said there is little doubt that Peru’s crop is now bigger, although he has little faith in either the UN or the U.S. measuring methods.

“There is more area (under cultivation), and more unrefined cocaine,” he said. Much of it is being smuggled

eastward via small plane to Bolivia for final processing, he said.

That cocaine almost exclusively serves the Brazilian, Argentine and European markets while Colombian cocaine is primarily shipped to the United States.

Colombian and UN authorities attributed the big drop in Colombia’s coca crop last year to repeated eradication of land where coca growers have tried to replant and to a migration of a lot of coca growers to mining.

Coca bushes on such parcels are relatively immature and yield fewer leaves than more mature plants, explaining why Colombia’s potential cocaine production only dropped 10 per cent last year to 345 metric tons, by UN count.

Suicide bomber targets mourners

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS QUETTA, Pakistan — A Taliban suicide bomber attacked a police officer’s funeral in southwestern Pakistan on Thursday, killing 30 people gathered to mourn a man shot dead earlier that day in front of his children.

The bombing is one of the more audacious assaults in a series of attacks targeting security forces in Pakistan, where insurgent Pakistani Taliban fighters routinely kill woefully underequipped police officers.

The funeral was being held in an open field outside a mosque in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province.

Some 250 people gathered for the service.

Fayaz Sumbal, the head of police operations in Baluchistan, noticed the bomber near the gate of the mosque before he detonated his explosives, police official Mohammed Aslam said.

Sumbal called on officers to question the bomber, who then blew himself up, Aslam said. Sumbal died in the blast.

Most of the 30 dead and 55 wounded in the suicide bombing were police officers, Aslam said. They had gathered for the funeral of an officer gunned down earlier in the day as he travelled through the city in a vehicle with his children, city police chief Mir Zubair Mehmood said. Two of his children were wounded in the attack.

Provincial police chief Mushtaq Sukhaira said the attack could not deter the resolve of the police in the fight against terrorism. He said 21 police officers and nine civilians were killed in the attack.

A police constable, Hassan Jan, said he saw bodies of his fellow officers and colleagues after the blast.

“I am very sad for those who lost their lives in today’s suicide attack,” he said.

In a telephone call from an undisclosed location, Pakistani Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid claimed responsibility for the attack.

He said the Taliban carried out the bombing to punish police officers in Quetta as they were “working against Islam.” He did not elaborate.

tore that whole wall out, evidently he was throwing ’em, I don’t know what he was doing,” Smith said.

She said she had warned her daughter for two years to stay away from Bowser. “He’s controlling. He thinks he can control women, but he did, he controlled my daughter. And it caused my baby’s death.”

After the shootings at the Dallas home, police allege, the gunman then fled to DeSoto, where he’s suspected of killing two women. Two boys, ages 11 and 13, were shot but survived that attack, Franks said, adding that it was a child at the residence who dialed 911.

A neighbour in DeSoto, Tommy Johnson, said he heard a loud boom Wednesday night coming from the direction of the home where the victims were later found.

“We thought it was coming from upstairs, because the kids are always upstairs making noise,” Johnson said. “I peeped out the front and that’s when I saw a bunch of officers walking down the sidewalk and about 10 houses up.”

Carolyn Webb, a family friend of the victims in the DeSoto house, said those killed were a woman who was divorcing the suspect and the woman’s adult daughter. “He just torn so many hearts,” she said.

Police said an explosive was used at the DeSoto house. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is providing technical assistance in the investigation, spokesman John Morrison said.

Canadians can vote online for their favourite new restaurant from among a list that’s been compiled by Air Canada’s enRoute magazine.

It’s the first time for the magazine’s People’s Choice Award.

The 35 restaurants in the running have been nominated by a volunteer panel of food and hospitality industry leaders.

The panel’s list of 35 establishments, opened between late spring 2012 and June 2013, has been visited and judged anonymously by international food and wine writer Andrew Braithwaite. He’ll narrow the list to his top 10 for the November issue of enRoute magazine.

For the last dozen years, the airline’s inflight magazine has looked for chefs who are advancing the country’s culinary identity and restaurants where the overall dining experience will have a significant impact on our restaurant culture for its top 10 list of new eating places.

As of Nov. 1, readers will be able to download the updated enRoute Eats app, which includes details of this year’s top 10 restaurants and previous years’ winners, along with enRoute-recommended restaurants across the country.

Information about the criteria, judging panel, nominated restaurants, prizes and contest rules may be found online at www. eatandvote.com or www.mangervoter.com.
