SUMMER SENSATION

COSPLAY PROP MAKER FROM RED DEER MAKES SWORDS, ARMOUR AND MORE BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF When Felicia McComb gets her hands on a lump of moldable Thermoplastic — watch out. In the last two years, the Red Deer cosplay prop maker has made a mask, staffs, swords, shoulder armour, and shipped a 1.6 metre bow to California. “(My client) had to be able to pack it in a suitcase. So I had to make it so she could break it down into four pieces so she could pack it up. It’s definitely challenging,” said McComb, 25, who started her own business Stealthy Cosplay. One of her recent commissions was a ‘first blade’ based on the television show Supernatural. McComb started making props soon after attending Calgary’s 2013 Comic and Entertainment Expo with a friend. She wore a Doctor Who costume she put together by visiting Value Village. “We knew that people dressed up, but we didn’t know to what extent. We just put together some basic costumes and we got there and I saw these huge armour pieces and sewn dresses and all these amazing costumes it was like, ‘Yup, I need to do this. I need to get into it.’” In just two years, the caliber of costumes in contests have skyrocketed, she said. McComb, a member services employee with Red Deer Public Library, led a prop design and costume creation workshop at downtown branch last week that attracted about 30 teens. “They are so creative at that age. Some of the stuff they were coming up with, I was blown away by it.”

Felicia McComb enjoys cosplay as Lady Sif, a warrior from Thor comics. Cosplay workshops will continue throughout the summer as part of the Teen Summer Reading Club and will finish with a Library-Con photoshoot. McComb has created about six cosplay costumes for herself and has a dozen more she wants to make. “I have Warrior Princess Peach on the go. And I’m looking at doing Thranduil from Lord of the Rings with all of his armour.”

FireSmart 125 years later and still going strong trail being extended ANTLER VALLEY FARM BY SUSAN ZIELINSKI ADVOCATE STAFF

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A 14-km bike trail designed to allow users to watch a forest grow and shield a community from fire is extending. Barry Shellian, wildlife ranger and information officer for the Rocky Mountain House Management Area, said this summer the FireSmart Ecology trail west of Nordegg will extend another seven km to connect to the Goldeye Centre. Shellian said the ground work has been completed, including the FireSmart techniques and putting down the boardwalks. “It is all flagged out,” he said.“Most of us are going out to wildfires lately. When we have opportunity, we will be pursuing that. Once we work out the final details, we will have maps and interpretive signs will be all throughout the area.” The trail, which is part of the national FireSmart program, and the only of its kind in Central Alberta, was completed last summer. Clearcutting, or block cutting, has been developed into a useful tool for forest management. It is particularly critical in areas where a prescribed burn cannot be carried out due to proximity to a community and lack of a natural fire break, as is the case with the area that the trail will run through. “We’re seeing a very aging forest on the land base,” said Shellian.

The McAllister family has deep roots in Central Alberta where five generations have farmed for 125 years. In 1890, Ephriam McAllister filed for a homestead in what is now the Antler Hill district along Hwy 2, south of Penhold. Born in Ireland to Scottish parents, he moved to Canada in 1883. His son Edward eventually took over the farm, followed by Edward’s son Art. Art’s son Wayne is now running the farm with his two sons Wade and Scott. “Our passion for this business, it’s carried us 125 years,” said Wayne McAllister, 53, about Antler Valley farm, his family’s 3,000-acre grain farm. Antler Valley Farm celebrated its 125th anniversary on Saturday afternoon with a huge party with tractor rides, farm tours, a Scottish pipe band, local dignitaries, old-fashioned games for children and face painting. Tool Shed Brewing Company, of Calgary, was bringing beer samples from their microbrewery made from malt barley grown at Antler Valley Farm. Wayne and his wife Sherri share the big farm yard with Wade and his wife Sabrina and their one-year-old daughter Mia, along with Scott and his girlfriend Ashleigh Ure. As a McAllister farm from 1890 to now, Wayne said few farms in the area have carried the same surname through out its history. Prior to taking the reins, Wayne always helped out on the farm and returned full time when he was 30. His son Wade, 27, spent four years as a helicopter pilot, but missed the farm and returned in 2010. His brother Scott, 25, a journeyman millwright, al-

Members of the McAllister family and Red Deer Legion Pipe Band pose for a picture during the celebration of Antler Valley Farm operating 125 years as a family farm. The farm is currently run by Wayne McAllister, who is preparing to pass the farm to his sons, who are fifth generation McAllisters. so decided the family farm was where he belonged. Their grandfather Art McAllister, who is 83 and lives in Innisfail, still visits the farm on a regular basis. The family’s enthusiasm for farming helps get them through 16-hour work days when required. “It’s a huge gamble. Huge costs. You put everything you’ve got into this crop and hope mother nature works with you to get this crop off in the fall,” Wayne said. This year seeding started at the end of April. “Seeding and spraying were really good because it was drier. Now it’s getting to the point where it’s too dry.” Antler Valley Farm has been a zerotill operation since 2002 which helps keeps moisture in the soil.

He said last year it was a battle to seed because of too much rain, but there was a good crop in the end. Grain prices are also hard to predict. “Prices were down a bit last year, but now the prices are coming up because it’s dry out there across Alberta and Saskatchewan and places.” He said his family always aim to grow human consumption quality product and harvest is a great time because you see what you’ve grown. But he said farming isn’t just about seeding, tending crops and harvesting. Marketing and hauling grain are their focus during the winter and that’s when they also do 90 per cent of their own machinery maintenance.

BATTING AGAINST BREAST CANCER

CANADA

BRIEFS

Helicopter fighting forest fires crashes in northern Alberta, pilot survives SLAVE LAKE — Officials are investigating after a helicopter helping fight wildfires crashed in northern Alberta. RCMP say the pilot, the only one inside the aircraft, was taken to hospital Saturday with non lifethreatening injuries. The Bell 412 chopper went down about 60 kilometres northeast of Slave Lake. Police say they don’t know what caused the crash. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating. The Canadian Forces were eventually called in and it was only in late September that the crisis ended. Various native and non-native leaders will speak today, while activities will include a feast, a lacrosse game and a tug-of-war.

LONDON, Ont. — A second suspect in the shooting death of 18-year old Jeremy Cook has turned himself in to police in London, Ont. Investigators say 24-year old Mohamed Ibrahim Sail of Calgary surrendered Friday evening. Sail is facing a second-degree murder charge. Police say Cook was killed on June 14 after tracking his cellphone to a car with three men inside and was shot multiple times when he grabbed the car as it began to drive away. Another Calgary man, 23-year-old Muhab Sultan, was also wanted for Cook’s murder but was found dead in the Rideau River in Ottawa on June 27.

PROP: It’s fun She has also designed a World of Warcraft rogue she would like to wear for a costume competition at the 2016 Calgary expo. “My budget is about $600 to $700 because it has LED lights in it. It’s full head to toe armour and leather everything.” She said it’s fun when kids get excited about seeing her costumes and recalled a young boy’s reaction at an expo when she was decked out as Lady Sif from Thor. “I was looking at comics and I looked up and he was pointing at me. He said, ‘Mom, mom, I need a picture.’ He went right over to me and struck this action pose like we were fighting. It was wonderful.” She said her Luna Lovegood character with her lion head hat, from Harry Potter, also draws a lot of attention. “This one I actually threw together in two days. It’s the easiest one to wear. I tend to wear it a lot.” And of course she gets a kick out of other people’s costumes at expos, like an entire young family that was dressed up like the Scooby Doo gang. “The littlest one was dressed up as Scooby and they made his stroller into the van and they were pushing that around. It was so adorable.” szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

TRAIL: Healthy forest “We want to implement messages to ensure we have a healthy forest for the future. But a real mover of this is the wildfires in the area.” The staging area is at the Fish Lake Provincial Recreation Area. It runs through previously clearcut forest between Goldeye Lake and Shunda Lake. Shellian said they did not keep track of the numbers but he is confident the trail was well used. Cross-country skiers were among the many who took advantage of the new system. “It is an opportunity for recreationalists to witness forest succession that will create a healthier forest and a safer community for Nordegg,” said Shellian. Onlookers are beginning to see a regeneration of wildflowers, grasses and herbs. “Most importantly, we are seeing the aspen trees coming back,” said Shellian. “They are already a couple feet high. They grow very quickly. In a decade, which is very short in forest time, we are going to see very tall trees above our head out there.”

SATURDAY/SUNDAY 6/49: 9, 20, 25, 27, 31, 32, bonus:3.

He said the aspen trees have leaves and a fleshy bark that are essentially nature’s fire guard. “It is going to be a fire barrier to Nordegg. It is going to go through the whole succession of forest over time.” The trail was created in partnership with Frontier Lodge, Tourism Parks and Recreation, Sundre Forest Products and Mountain Equipment Co-op and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Southern trout streams threatened BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

A new survey of trout streams in southwest Alberta suggests that virtually all of them are threatened by industrial development or overuse. Bull trout like the one pictured here have lost more than 70 per cent of their historic waters. bles that make up the stream bed,” Fitch said. “That stuff solidifies, so that not only is it difficult for water to permeate through, it’s very difficult for trout to build a redd (nest). “Trout would have to come equipped with a pickaxe to break through some of that substrate.” And those hardpack streambeds aren’t going away anytime soon, said Fitch. “Some researchers have said this might endure for centennial time. It isn’t fleeting.” The result is that cutthroat populations are estimated at five per cent of historic levels. Bull trout — Alberta’s

provincial fish — have lost at least 70 per cent of their original range. Biologists used to count more than 100 redds on Hidden Creek. Last fall, after the region was logged, Fitch counted 15. Alberta’s previous Tory government completed a land-use plan for the entire South Saskatchewan River watershed, which includes the Oldman. Fitch said it barely mentions fish, contains no specific recommendations for their protection and defers most important decisions to local management bodies. “I was underwhelmed.” Fitch said the decline over the last

generation or two in southern Alberta has been echoed all over the province. Arctic grayling, once common in the north, are down to 10 per cent of historic levels. Goldeye have all but vanished from rivers where they formerly abounded. The declines will continue until Alberta changes its land-use policies, Fitch said. “We have applied too many things to the landscape for too long.” A spokeswoman for NDP Environment Minister Shannon Phillips acknowledged trout are in decline. But Laura Tupper defended the previous government’s plans.

BRIEF Guard injured at Sylvan Lake concert A security guard was injured following an incident at Sylvan Lake Summer Sensation concert on Friday night. Sylvan Lake RCMP said at about 10:50 p.m., the guard was attempting to remove a male from the front of the stage who was crowd surfing. The crowd surfer fell onto the guard who then struck his head. Our Lady Peace, who was performing at the time, immediately stopped their set and called for medical assistnce. The guard went into convulsions and RCMP on site provided emergency first aid while EMS responded. The guard was conscious prior to being transported by ambulance. He was released from Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre early Saturday morning and was cleared to return to work.

EDMONTON — Virtually all southern Alberta streams that spawn native trout are threatened by industrial development or overuse, says a survey from a respected fisheries biologist. That’s even though both bull and rainbow trout are protected under federal law and are supposed to be benefiting from a recovery plan, says Lorne Fitch. “I have watched habitat and fish populations crater,” says Fitch, an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary, who spent 35 years as a leading provincial biologist. “All of our systems are under extreme pressure.” Fitch studied 54 small rivers and streams that flow into the Oldman River and hold bull and cutthroat trout. He found nearly every one of the waterways face multiple pressures: from logging roads to energy development to off-highway vehicle trails. The banks of Hidden Creek, spawning waters for up to 80 per cent of the Oldman’s bull trout, are weakened by clear-cuts and stream crossings and are falling in on themselves. Cow Creek, with a confirmed cutthroat population, is contaminated by feedlot effluent and is drained for irrigation. Fitch’s survey notes everything from motorcycle races to washed-out bridges to coal mining affecting creek after creek. Again and again he concludes “long-term cumulative impacts on cutthroat trout and bull trout.” Scientists suggest land that contains trout streams shouldn’t have more than about just over half a kilometre of trail, cutline or road per square kilometre. The disturbance density in parts of the Oldman watershed is nearly 10 times that. The reason, Fitch said, is sediment. Nearby roads, forest disturbance and stream crossings all cause soil to wash into the current. Scientists used to believe that silt simply washed out. No longer. “What researchers are now finding is that this sediment actually starts to get trapped into the gravels and cob-

An extreme, warm world My hometown, Vancouver, is in a rainforest, so we celebrate sunny days. People I talk to are enjoying the recent warm, dry weather, but they invariably add, “This isn’t normal” — especially with all the smoke from nearby forest fires. With no mountain snowpack and almost no spring rain, rivers, DAVID creeks and resSUZUKI ervoirs are at levels typically not seen until fall. Parks are brown. Blueberries, strawberries and other crops have arrived weeks earlier than usual. Wildfires are burning here and throughout Western Canada. Meanwhile, normally dry Kamloops has had record flooding, as has Toronto. Manitoba has been hit with several tornadoes and golf-ball-sized hail. Unusual weather is everywhere. California is in its fourth year of severe drought. Temperatures in Spain, Portugal, India and Pakistan have reached record levels, sparking wildfires and

causing thousands of deaths and heatrelated ailments. Heavy rains, flooding and an unusually high number of tornadoes have caused extensive damage and loss of life in Texas, Oklahoma and Mexico. The likely causes are complex: a stuck jet stream, the Pacific El Niño, natural variation and climate change. Even though it’s difficult to link all events directly to global warming, climate scientists have warned for years that we can expect these kinds of extremes to continue and worsen as the world warms. Some hypothesize that the strange behaviours of this year’s jet stream and El Niño are related to climate change, with shrinking Arctic sea ice affecting the former. Several recent studies indicate a clear connection between increasing extreme weather and climate change. One, by climatologists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, looked at rising global atmospheric and sea-surface temperatures, which have increased water vapour in the atmosphere by about five per cent since the 1950s. According to the paper, published in Nature Climate Change, “This has fuelled larger storms, and in the case of hurricanes and typhoons, ones that ride atop oceans that are 19 centimetres higher than they were in the early 1900s. That sea-level rise in-

creases the height of waves and tidal surges as storms make landfall.” A Stanford University study found, “accumulation of heat in the atmosphere can account for much of the increase in extreme high temperatures, as well as an average decrease in cold extremes, across parts of North America, Europe and Asia,” but also concluded the influence of human activity on atmospheric circulation, another factor in climate change, is not well understood. Earth is clearly experiencing more frequent extreme weather than in the past, and we can expect it to get worse as we burn more coal, oil and gas and pump more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This can have profound and costly impacts on everything from agriculture to infrastructure, not to mention human health and life. As Pope Francis pointed out, climate change and social justice are intricately connected: “The human environment and the natural environment deteriorate together; we cannot adequately combat environmental degradation unless we attend to causes related to human and social degradation.” That’s why so many people from Canada and around the world are calling for action as government leaders

prepare for December’s UN climate summit in Paris: religious leaders including Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama; global organizations like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, International Energy Agency and World Health Organization; businesses from Microsoft to Ikea to General Motors; and millions of people like those who marched for “Jobs, Justice and the Climate” in Toronto on July 5. All know the future of humanity depends on rapidly shifting the way we obtain and use energy. Even though many world leaders recognize the problem, the recent G-7 agreement to decarbonize our energy by the end of the century is a horrifying joke. None of today’s politicians making the commitment will be alive to bear the responsibility for achieving the target, and the time frame doesn’t address the urgent need to begin huge reductions in fossil fuel use immediately. Governments at the provincial, state and municipal levels have led the way in finding solutions. Now it’s time for national leaders to finally demonstrate real courage and foresight as they gear up for the Paris summit later this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Overproduction is at the root of our economic problems Re: Embracing socialist change sabotages a functioning economy, letter to the editor, Red Deer Advocate, June 24. When we drill to the bedrock of this critique we find that the blame for the present ailing economy, despite the glaring omission of the important detail that we do not live in a socialist economic system, is placed firmly on the shoulders of socialism. Is it a fact that increased government debt and or taxation have managed to erase massive productivity gains by both business and labour? The huge increase in productivity after the Second World War was made possible because the war destroyed the overproduction or overcapacity that existed at that time and which now manifests itself as the chief economic problem that we are experiencing today. After the war, the present economic system under the control of the United States, in the shape of the GATT agreement (the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) expanded world trade to previously unknown levels. Productivity increased because of this stimulus and, importantly, because of a massive investment in the means of production that took place. In the same manner, we have witnessed a similar massive investment and resultant explosion of economic growth in China over the last period. We now observe the same phenomena of overproduction in China because the present economic system is producing more goods than can be sold at a profit and production slows down to a crawl or stops altogether. The Chinese workers are unable to buy back the things they produce and Chinese exports are reaching their limit because foreign workers can no longer afford to buy even the low-priced products. In order to overcome the lack of demand in the marketplace, we have experienced a whole period in which debt was used to keep the world economy running. The problem with debt is that it has to be repaid. When this enormous volume of debt became impossible to repay, the banking system crashed and was bailed out by the state. The state was forced to assume the debt in order to keep the economy running and it now seeks to repay this huge debt with the use of austerity. Working people are the only source of all real wealth and they are also the marketplace for the sale of goods. Austerity can only exacerbate the problem by further reducing demand for products in the marketplace. It is interesting to note that Bill Greenwood in his letter still calls for less government and less taxation or, in other words, monetarism. The monetarist formula of getting the state off the backs of business lies shattered by the fact that the banks had to go cap in hand to the state for help. There is a grain of truth, however, in the idea that socialism is incompatible with the running of the present economic system. There are parts of the present economy such as health services that are related to socialism but the only economic similarity is the fact that there exists within them a certain degree of planning. It is not possible to plan and organize the present chaotic economic system, which is based on the daily gambling of the stock exchange and is experiencing the biggest crisis in its history. The only way forward is the socialization of the means of production under the democratic control of the majority of society, the working people. Keith Norman Wyatt Innisfail

Will we have a clean election, without any rule-breaking? We are heading into a federal election on Oct. 19 and the race will be close between the Conservatives, the Liberals and the New Democrats. Will this be a scandal-free election? The last three involved charges, fines and at least two people went to jail. We had resignations with byelections, court hearings, sentencing, jail time, handcuffs and a black eye on democracy. The 2006 election was won but after using the “in and out” advertising scheme to circumvent spending limits. The scandal involved improper election spending on the part of the Conservative Party of Canada. On March 6, 2012, charges were dropped as part of a plea deal in which the Conservative Party of Canada and its fundraising arm pleaded guilty to exceeding election spending limits and submitting fraudulent election records, and agreed to repay $230,198 for its role in violating Canadian election spending laws. The scandal created non-confidence in the government and forced the 2008 election. In that election one winner, Conservative Peter Penashue, had expenses and donations issues, resigned and ultimately lost in a byelection. Penashue’s campaign took 28 ineligible campaign contributions totaling $27,850 in cash and $18,710 in in-kind contributions from Provincial Airlines for services provided. Elections Canada deemed the contributions ineligible and Penashue’s campaign was forced to pay $26,850 on Nov. 28, 2012, and $18,710 on March 4, 2013, to the Receiver General of Canada. One other winner in 2008, Conservative Dean Del Mastro, had expenses and donations issues, also, and he ultimately resigned many years later. He resigned after he became the parliamentary secretary to the prime minister. It was revealed in June 2012 that Elections Canada was investigating Del Mastro for

The Alberta Press Council upholds the public’s right to full, fair and accurate news reporting by considering complaints, within 60 days of publication, regarding

overspending during the 2008 elections. The investigation surrounded a payment of $21,000 made by a personal cheque to Ottawa-based polling firm Holinshed Research Group for which Del Mastro was not reimbursed, exceeding his personal spending limit of $5,000. Del Mastro has insisted he has not broken any election law and claimed that the $21,000 cheque was for a riding-mapping software called GeoVote that Holinshed intended to launch and not for telephone calls to constituents during the campaign. Justice Lisa Cameron said he had lied and cheated and his conduct had been an affront to democracy, he had exceeded spending limits, failed to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his campaign, and knowingly submitted a falsified document. “This type of cheating and lying will result in serious sanctions,” Cameron said. “Custody is required to reflect the need for denunciation and deterrence.” The former MP faced up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine for each of the three offences. He received one month in jail, four months house arrest and 18 months probation. He is appealing. The 2011 election, the last federal election, became famous for “robocalls” that told voters to go to the wrong poll. It was reported in many ridings but charges were laid only in one. Michael Sona, a former Conservative staffer convicted in the 2011 robocalls scandal, was sentenced to nine months behind bars and one year’s probation for what Justice Gary Hearn called “an affront to the electoral process.” Will this election be scandal free? Should the RCMP keep a cell available? I am truly hopeful that the candidates and their official agent understand and follow the rules. The volunteers have better pay attention to that little voice in their heads when asked to do something in the grey areas. Canada does not need another election tainted by scandal, won by deceit and unlawful acts. So if it looks like cheating, feels like trickery, and your conscience says no, then do not do it.

Wildfire official calls for vigilance despite wet weather BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

BRITISH COLUMBIA

VANCOUVER — A change in weather could offer British Columbians a break from an otherwise ferocious start to this year’s wildfire season, but a provincial official says a few days of rain isn’t necessarily enough to hit the reset button on weeks of soaring temperatures and parched conditions. “It does appear that we’ve got a bit of a temporary reprieve from the current situation ... but we are still very early in the summer and the weather is fickle and changing daily,” said Kevin Skrepnek, a B.C. Wildfire Service spokesman. “We need to ensure that people aren’t getting complacent as a result of this rain.” This shift in weather is expected to continue, said Skrepnek, with cooler temperatures and scattered rain forecast across the province over the coming week. A campfire ban remains in place provincewide as more than 250 fires rage across B.C., almost 50 of which began on Saturday. So far in 2015, 1,065 fires have consumed nearly 2,800 square kilometres across the province — a substantial jump from this time last year, when 462 fires had burned a mere 200 square kilometres. B.C. has spent more than $100 million so far this year fighting wildfires, having burned through its annual budget of $63 million by the end of last month. About 2,400 personnel are busy fighting the flames — whether on the fire line or in support positions — more than 1,000 of which are contract workers. B.C. has called in about 100 personnel from outside the province, including from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. On Monday, 52 Australian firefighters are scheduled to arrive into B.C. to help with fire relief efforts, while another contingent of Down Under personnel will soon show up to assist in

other Western Canadian provinces. The provincial government has also signed a one-month contract to use the Martin Mars water bomber, a veteran firefighting plane based in Port Alberni, B.C. “The Mars is an iconic aircraft,” said Skrepnek about the aged air tanker, which can unload 27,000 litre payload in a single flyby. “It has a somewhat limited mission profile (but) in the right situation it is an incredibly effective tool.” Skrepnek had promising news about the ongoing battle against the province’s top-priority fire. Crews managed to contain just under a third of the Puntzi Lake fire, an aggressive blaze raging in BC’s central Cariboo Region, about 150 kilometres west of Williams Lake. The fire more than doubled in size on Saturday, from 30 to 70 square kilometres, thanks to strong winds and an abundance of dry brush and timber. So far several properties have been destroyed by the flames, including a hunting and fishing lodge. An order to evacuate remains in place in the region, affecting 90 properties, while more than 180 remain on evacuation alert. B.C. has lifted all of the air-quality advisories in southeastern B.C., although smoke advisories remain in place in the province’s northwest and Central Interior, Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall said on Sunday. “Depending on local conditions people should be alert for diminishing air quality — they’ll see and smell the smoke,” said the province’s top doctor. Children, seniors and people with respiratory problems are encouraged to avoid strenuous outdoor activity. There remain 22 fires of note in British Columbia, six states of local emergency and 143 evacuation orders and alerts, with orders affecting more than 650 homes.

B.C. man charged with terrorism had no links to local community: mayor VANCOUVER - A northern British Columbia man who has been charged with terrorism-related offences had no links to the community, the town’s mayor said Saturday. Fort St. John Mayor Lori Ackerman said she hasn’t spoken with anyone who knows Othman Ayed Hamdan, and doesn’t know when he arrived in the city of 21,000 people. “No one knew he was here because he wasn’t part of the community,” Ackerman said in a phone interview. RCMP announced on Friday that they charged the 33-year-old man with three terrorism related counts, including counselling to commit murder for the benefit of a terrorist group, counselling to assault causing bodily harm for the benefit of a terrorist group, and counselling to commit aggravated assault for the benefit of a terrorist group. An RCMP news release alleges Hamdan was involved in distributing propaganda connected with the group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Mounties allege the propaganda posted online included inducement and instructions to commit murder in the name of Jihad. No one in the local Muslim

community knew Hadman either, said Azhar Phoolwala, spokesman for the Peace River Muslim Association. The suspect had not been to Fort St. John’s year-old mosque or to any prayer meetings or events held by the religious group, Phoolwala said. “Like anyone else in Fort St. John, it’s really a shock to us,” he said. “This is all about this individual. It’s not about Islam and it’s not about the Muslim community here.” Ackerman said the charges shouldn’t have any reflection on her community, adding there’s no sense of heightened concern about terrorism in Fort St. John. “This really just goes to enforce that we as Canadians, we as citizens, need to be very diligent in the activities that go in our neighbourhoods, in our communities, in our social circles to ensure that these things do not happen,” she said.

Residents of an evacuated reserve in northern Saskatchewan were heading home Sunday, as officials began evaluating forest fires threatening other communities to determine if thousands more could return. Duane McKay with the province’s emergency management department said fires and thick smoke were no longer posing a risk to Grandmother’s Bay and buses were to transport at least 130 people back to the First Nation. “That’s a good positive step forward and hopefully over the next couple of days, as we plan for this, we’ll have other opportunities for people to return home,” he said. Wildfires sparked in the north over the past two weeks have forced about 13,000 out of their homes in at least 50 communities. They are staying in hotels and shelters throughout the province, as well as next door in Cold Lake, Alta. Last week, 200 people from the Wahpeton Dakota, Sturgeon Lake and Little Red reserves north of Prince Albert were allowed to go home. On Saturday night, vehicles carrying about 150 people from five communities in the northeast — Missinipe, Otter Rapids, Brabant, Southend and the Athabasca Basin — were escorted back. Those communities had not been under evacuation orders but fires had cut off their road access. McKay said an assessment of fires that have put the remaining communities at risk might be completed Monday. Officials are looking at whether hot spots could flare up and start new fires, as well as if communities still have phone, power and gas services. “We want to make sure we can determine there is no threat,” he said.

“In the next 24-hour period we’ll have a list that will say in so many days these communities can start prepping to go home.” There were 124 fires burning in the province Sunday and wind was helping to clear smoke in the east, especially near La Ronge, one of the largest communities evacuated last week when fire came within two kilometres. Roberts said rain forecast for the next few days could help “significantly.” Nearly 60 firefighting specialists from the United States have joined the effort to help with fire behaviour and manage crews, heavy equipment and aircraft. About 430 soldiers and reservists were working on fire lines and more were being trained. Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Derek Reid said, once training is complete, 600 military personnel would be fighting fires and 250 would be working in support roles. In all, about 1,200 crews are working in the north, added McKay. The province was working to train hundreds more, some from reserves, to join the fire fight in the next few weeks. McKay met on the weekend with some crews near La Ronge as they checked on burned areas of forest, their boots kicking up dust and ashes with every step. Temperatures hit 30 C in some areas, and that was without extra heat thrown off from fires. “It’s extremely dangerous work,” McKay said, adding some firefighters have suffered injuries that include twisted ankles, cuts, burns and dehydration. “I think it speaks to ... the importance that when people show up, they are trained and aware of the conditions,” he said.

BRIEFS

Harper announces expansion of Rouge National Urban Park PICKERING, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the federal government will more than double its initial contribution to Rouge National Urban Park. Harper announced today in Pickering, Ont., that 21 square kilometres are being added to the park in Pickering and the township of Uxbridge, just east of Toronto. He says the new lands will increase the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries by 36 per cent, to 79.5 square kilometres once fully established, making it one of the largest urban parks in North America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 19 times larger than Stanley Park in Vancouver and 22 times larger than Central Park in New York City. The new area include forests, meadows, streams, creeks, important archaeological sites and large tracts of farmland. The government announced its intention to create the park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first urban national park in Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in 2011. Legislation creating the park was passed in the House of Commons this past January, received royal assent in April and came into force in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement will provide families across the Greater Toronto Area and visitors from coast to coast to coast with more opportunities to enjoy Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great outdoors,â&#x20AC;? Harper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The expansion of Rouge National Urban Park will also ensure current and future generations of Canadians remain connected with an important part of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich natural and cultural heritage.â&#x20AC;?

HMCS Fredericton returns from NATO deployment in Mediterranean HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; HMCS Fredericton returned to Halifax today from its seven-month deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. The deployment, which was part of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Reassurance, involved patrolling the sea as part of a standing force for NATO. The Royal Canadian Navy says the frigate contributed to NATO stability keeping measures in Central and Eastern Europe. Fredericton operated with 121 other ships and visited 16 countries since it left Halifax in December. The navy says it was also the flagship of the standing force for two weeks of that time.

Enthusiasm high at Pan Am Games, even when attendance low, organizers say TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Organizers for the Pan Am Games say enthusiasm at the competitions is high even when attendance isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The head of the Games organizing committee confirms that while small venues filled up on Saturday, the crowd was more sparse at some of the larger ones. But Saad Rafi says those who were there showed their excitement loud and clear. Rafi says attendance is higher when Canada is competing and he expects more people to start paying attention as the Games continue. He says daily ticket sales doubled to roughly 20,000 on Saturday, the first full day of competition. On Friday, total ticket sales were around 850,000. There are 1.4 million available for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.

Ukrainian PM to visit Canada BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The prime minister of Ukraine will be in Ottawa this week for talks with Harper government. Arseniy Yatsenyuk was to arrive Tuesday for talks that will focus on the eastern European countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempts at economic and government reform. A statement from Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to reaffirm the close relationship between the two countries and they intend to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discuss ways to further broaden its scope.â&#x20AC;? The last time the two met was in Kyiv just prior to the G-7 Summit in early June when Yatsenyuk asked Harper to press allies for lethal military aid so that Ukraine could turn the tide against Russian-backed separatists in the east. His visit also comes ahead of anticipated announcement that Ukraine will default on debts owed to private creditors. Ukraine faces a different situation than Greece, which has been bailed out by public bodies like the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. Talks about restructuring the debt are underway, but the country faces a July 24 deadline to pay US $120 million to private bond holders, who are now being asked to accept half of what they are owed. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament recently passed legislation that allows the govern-

Yatsenyuk will be in Ottawa this week for talks with Harper government. ment of President Petro Poroshenko to suspend payments to private foreign creditors while Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt is restructured. If the creditors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree, the govern-

ment could simply default. Right now, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt chews up about 95 per cent of its gross domestic product and many observers, including the IMF, say that is unsustainable. Unlike Greece, Yatsenyuk has repeatedly signalled the Ukrainian government is committed to reform. Defence Minister Jason Kenney, the last high-ranking Canadian official to visit Ukraine last month, said he remains optimistic that a default is not on the cards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly hope that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen,â&#x20AC;? Kenney told The Canadian Press in Calgary during a recent interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve assisted Ukraine in stabilizing their monetary situation through the International Monetary Fund. The most important thing for Ukraine is they get their economy growing and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they need stability.â&#x20AC;? He noted the Harper government is pursuing a free trade deal with the country and reform is already underway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting close with the free trade agreement and frankly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Ukraine needs to fight corruption,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the short term, we hope they get through this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unlike Greece Ukraine is actually making a very serious effort under the current government to bring in reforms. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying a political price for that and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also contesting with a war inflicted on them by Russia so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very challenging situation.â&#x20AC;?

Six Nations braces for worst as fire department struggles BY THE CANADIAN PRESS A string of suspected arsons, inexperienced volunteer staff and a truck ladder that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t high enough hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped the fire department at Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most populated First Nation from scraping by. But as the Six Nations of the Grand River unit in southwestern Ontario grapples with relentless emergency calls, regular staff turnover and a constant struggle to make ends meet, its fire chief says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bracing for an inevitable disaster Matthew Miller said his department has about twice the call volume and one third of the funding as similarly sized municipalities, even though federal government statistics show First Nations people on reserves are about 10 times more likely to die in fires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it is right now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barely hanging on by a thread,â&#x20AC;? Miller said of serving the on-reserve population of about 12,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening is everybody is getting exhausted and pushed to their limits physically and mentally.â&#x20AC;? The crew serving the First Nation consists of 21 part-time volunteers who have separate full-time jobs, and many havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been properly trained.

Miller said he usually gets two or three emergency calls every day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or about 700 per year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but if that number gets any higher, the department wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to handle it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a recipe for disaster, for something really bad to happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. So far this year, the community has dealt with 10 house fires, a large chemical fire at its recycling facility and nine suspected arsons currently under investigation. Neighbouring departments are often called in to help with larger emergencies, something Miller called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Band-Aid solution.â&#x20AC;? Yasir Naqvi, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister of community safety and correctional services, toured Six Nations on June 6 to review its emergency services after receiving an invitation from Chief Ava Hill. Naqvi said he will be asking his federal counterparts to address the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire safety concerns, and Miller wrote to federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau about the issue on Wednesday. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada said in a statement that it provides $26 million annually for fire protection on the reserve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our regional office is in regular contact

with the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation,â&#x20AC;? it said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also know that education and awareness play an integral role in fire safety and we will continue to work with First Nation communities and provide annual funding (to fire education organizations).â&#x20AC;? Miller said First Nations across Canada are facing the same issues because there is no legislative framework to mandate fire prevention and protection like there is for most off-reserve communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Nations receive funding for fire protection only, not what every other fire service in the world does,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a car accident and you get trapped in your car, we could put the fire out, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not funded to get you out of your car.â&#x20AC;? Blaine Wiggins with the Aboriginal Firefighters Association of Canada agreed, saying the reason why so many aboriginal people are dying in fires is simple, but answering why the system is failing them is not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here we are trying to do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal in the fire service but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(First Nations) are just kind of left to develop and try to meet what the community can afford to meet, versus what is an established standard that all communities would have to meet.â&#x20AC;?

Thurston cashes in at Stampede BIG VALLEY COWBOY TAKES HOME 100K IN SADDLE BRONC ON SHOWDOWN SUNDAY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — A pair of young Canadian cowboys each took home $100,000 for winning their respective events on Showdown Sunday at the Calgary Stampede. Clint Laye, 21, of Cadogan, Alta., started things off by winning the bareback championship, while Zeke Thurston, 20, of Big Valley, followed up his Canadian counterpart with a victory in the finals of the saddle bronc event. Laye had an 88-point ride aboard Virgil in the second event of the finals to beat last year’s champion Kaycee Feild by just one point. “It hasn’t sunk in yet,” Laye said. “This is the hugest win I’ve ever had. My motor’s just rolling right now. It’s the biggest rodeo in the world. For it to be in my own country b& I wanted to win it even more.” Ten competitors in each of the six events qualified to compete on Sunday and only the top four from the first goround advanced to the finals. “I was towards the end and kind of watching everybody and I knew I just had to let it all go on the line, so I did,” said Laye, who earned his spot in the finals thanks to an 87.5-point ride atop Raggedy Ann. Luke Creasy of Brownfield, Alta., joined Laye in the finals after Tim O’Connell had to give up his spot due to injury. Creasy responded with an 84-point ride on Shadow Warrior to win $15,000 for placing third. Shortly after Laye accepted his $100,000 cheque, Thurston, Cody DeMoss and Wade Sundell all posted scores of 90.5 in the saddle bronc finals to force a buck-off. After Sundell and DeMoss had rides of 82 and 85 points respectively, Thurston scored 88.5 aboard Easy To Love to win his first title at the Calgary Stampede. “That was exciting,” Thurston said. “It was pretty nerve-wracking getting on that calibre of horses, three of them in one day. It’s great. It gets your blood running for sure. To win in Calgary, it’s unreal.” Trevor Knowles of Mt. Vernon, Ore., won his fourth steer wrestling title in

Calgary by recording the top time of 3.9 seconds. Tanner Milan had a no-time in the finals, but still won $10,000 for finishing fourth. “A lot of things have to go right at this rodeo,” said Knowles, who also won in 2009, 2012 and 2014. “It’s hard to get out of your pool and into Sunday. I’d say the pressure side of it is probably what hurts people the most. There’s a lot of pressure for $100,000 and, I don’t know, it just seems like I can take it. You just go make a run.” Timber Moore of Aubrey, Tex., won the tie-down roping title with a time of 8.1 seconds in the finals to edge out Curtis Cassidy of Donalda, Alta., by just 0.1 of a second.

Cassidy still received $25,000 for placing second. “Right now, this is the biggest win I’ve ever had,” Moore said. “Hopefully I’ll win a gold buckle down in the States but this is by far the biggest and greatest win I’ve had.” Lisa Lockhart of Oelrichs, S.D., reached the finals of the ladies barrel racing event for the third time at the Stampede and went on to win her first title in a time of 17.907. Tara Muldoon of Hinton, Alta., knocked over a barrel in the finals to knock her down to fourth place. “This sport’s a roller coaster,” Lockhart said. “There’s a lot of highs and a lot of lows and you’ve just got to hang on for the ride at all times because

it’s good, all of it. This has been an exceptional week, I can’t lie. It’s been amazing.” The last event of the afternoon featured Aaron Roy of Yellow Grass, Sask., taking on Americans J.B. Mauney and Sage Kimzey in the finals of the ever-popular bull riding event. While both Roy and Mauney were bucked off their bulls, Kimzey of Strong City, Okla., posted an impressive scored of 92.5 aboard Bottle Rocket to win the championship showdown. Roy and Mauney won $20,000 each for finishing tied for second. “There’s no comparison to winning the world title, but of all the rodeos I’ve won this one is definitely near and dear to my heart,” Kimzey said.

Blue Jays edged by Stamps aiming to bounce back Royals in barn burner after long layoff BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CFL Royals 11 Blue Jays 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays combined for 21 runs, 11 unearned after seven errors, on Sunday. There were 27 hits, nine for extra-bases. The Royals won 11-10 after blowing a seven-run lead, helped by a base-running gaffe by Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin. Martin had a RBI double to pull Toronto within 10-9 in the seventh and went to third on Kelvin Herrera’s wild pitch with one out. When catcher Salvador Perez delayed picking up the ball and Herrera was slow to cover home, Martin rounded third base. Perez grabbed the ball and threw out Martin before he could retreat to the bag. “If you look at it, it really wasn’t that far, but that kid’s got a cannon arm,” Martin said. The play was reviewed but not overturned after a delay of more than two minutes. “That saved us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Salvy made a phenomenal play.” Toronto’s Jose Reyes, who had his second straight three-hit game, singled home Kevin Pillar, who had tripled, in the eighth to tie it 10-10. It was only the second run Royals reliever Wade Davis (5-1) had allowed this season. “We hit the ball pretty well.” Martin said. “They just hit the ball a little more at the end there. They got the big hit. It was a frustrating loss. We definitely could have played better and we made some mistakes, but we got back in the game.” Paulo Orlando broke the tie with a homer in the bottom of the eighth, and Kendrys Morales hit a three-run homer in a six-run Royals first. Greg Holland worked the ninth, earning his 19th save in 20 opportunities. Kansas City led 7-0 after five, but the Blue Jays sent 12 men to

Felix Doubront made it through five innings after the rocky start. He gave up 10 hits and seven runs, two unearned. BREAK FOR BAUTISTA Bautista opted out of the AllStar game to rest and rehab his sore right shoulder. Doctors believe he won’t have any lingering effects.

CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders will try to avoid losing back-to-back games for the first time in three years on Monday night when they host the unbeaten Toronto Argonauts. It’s Calgary’s first game in 10 days, leaving the defending Grey Cup champions with plenty of time to stew over last week’s 29-11 loss to the Montreal Alouettes. “The important thing is that we take advantage of the rest that we got, take advantage of the extra time to prepare and go out and play a good football game,” said Stampeders coach and general manager John Hufnagel. Calgary could easily be winless. The Stampeders needed a 50-yard field goal on the final play of their season opener to beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24-23. Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell has had a slow start to the season, throwing just one touchdown pass while being intercepted three times. His touchdown to interceptions ratio was 22-to-8 last year. “It starts with me, being a second-year guy and having the year we had last year,” said Mitchell, who was the Grey Cup most valuable player last season. “As the quarterback, the guy that touches the ball every play, that’s how I feel. I feel like it’s my job to go out there and make sure that as an offence, we do take that next step. Make games easier on our defence.” Mitchell gets a big weapon back this week in wide receiver Jeff Fuller. Fuller had nine catches for 164 yards in Week 1. He missed last week’s game with soreness in the same knee which he had season-ending surgery on last October after tearing the MCL. “I feel like that was probably my last setback. It wasn’t anything tweaked or re-injured or anything, it was just the wear of the first game, the first time playing a complete game on it,” Fuller said. “But no pain at all now, I’m 100 per cent.” Mitchell says Fuller’s size makes him difficult to defend. “When you have one-on-one’s with that guy, it’s easy to take shots with him because he’s a guy that does have great ball skill,” said Mitchell. “He has a great knack for catching it at its highest point and that’s a big thing for receivers. Some guys like it to fall down to their arms and that’s when DBs make plays.” While Mitchell ranks near the bottom of the league’s quarterback rankings, at the very top is Toronto’s Trevor Harris.

Kansas City Royals’ Paulo Orlando rounds the bases past Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis after his solo home run during the eighth inning of a baseball game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday. The Royals defeated the Blue Jays 11-10. the plate in an eight-run sixth. Danny Valencia and Jose Bautista had two-run doubles. “It was an odd game, but those are going to happen every now and then when you play a lot of games,” Bautista said. “It was quirky. A lot of errors, the sun, the heat.” The Royals regained the lead with three runs in the bottom of the sixth.

McGregor makes good at UFC 189 WINS FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE WITH 2ND ROUND TKO BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor spent much of the first two rounds on his back while Chad Mendes threw elbows at his head, and yet his screaming Irish fans kept faith. During his meteoric rise in the UFC, McGregor has sold his self-confidence with enough flair to turn most anybody into a believer in his invincibility, even in the face of 9 ½ minutes of contrary evidence. And when the trash-talking mixed martial arts sensation finally got free late in the second round, he backed up every single word. McGregor won the interim featherweight title at UFC 189 on Saturday night, stopping Mendes with three seconds left in the second round while emphatically arriving as one of the promotion’s biggest stars. After struggling to break free from Mendes’ suffocating wrestling and ground game, McGregor (18-2) finished the fight with a lightning-quick combination after Mendes failed on a submission attempt. A big left hand put Mendes down, and McGregor pounded away for the stoppage before jumping onto the cage in celebration. “Tonight, I’m going to toast good business,” McGregor said. “And it was damn good business. ... It’s a crazy game, and you know, I absolutely love it.” McGregor later sank to his knees in tears, an Irish flag in his hands, while the standing-room-only crowd at the MGM Grand Garden Arena roared. The loquacious ex-plumber from Dublin has now made good on just about every boast and threat he ever issued — and there have been thousands. Mendes (17-3) stepped in for injured featherweight champion Jose Aldo just 2 ½ weeks ago, and the elite wrestler was in control of the fight until McGregor’s heavy hands changed everything in an instant. Mendes embraced McGregor in sportsmanship after a promotion dominated by high-level trash talk, most of it from a bearded, tattooed Irishman who already looks comfortable with a title belt around his waist. “I’ve been hearing all the while that I’ve been protected from this kind of opponent, that I’ve been gifted a title shot,” McGregor said. “So when my title shot went running and they gave me the challenge I was supposed to be protected from, I (decided) that I’m just going to prove to people that I’m a true fighter.” Robbie Lawler also defended his welterweight title in spectacularly bloody fashion, stopping Canada’s Rory MacDonald with a big left hand early in the fifth round. Jeremy Stephens stopped Dennis Bermudez 32

Conor McGregor lands a left to Chad Mendes to end their interim featherweight title mixed martial arts bout at UFC 189 on Saturday, in Las Vegas. seconds into the third round of a wild brawl featuring multiple knockdowns by both fighters. But everything on one of the UFC’s most entertaining pay-per-view cards was a prologue to the biggest moment yet in the remarkable career of McGregor, who has rocketed through his sport by deploying his sharp tongue as much as his heavy hands. McGregor has won 14 consecutive fights, and now he has a UFC belt and an enormous future date with Aldo. “In my opinion, Jose went running,” McGregor said. “I had bigger injuries leading up to this fight than that bruised rib, and I still showed up and performed. If he comes back, he can come back, but I swear to God, his day will come.” McGregor and the UFC spent the past several months promoting a title fight with Aldo. McGregor’s vocal disdain for the Brazilian and the champion’s genuine anger at his challenger’s posturing made it an irresistible sell — but the oft-injured Aldo broke a rib while sparring last month. McGregor was undaunted. He vowed

to stay on the card for the thousands of fans travelling to Las Vegas from Ireland, and he agreed to a dangerous bout with Mendes, whose only two career losses were against Aldo. “He was training for Aldo and got a completely different match, a guy with a different style, on two weeks’ notice,” Mendes said. “The guy is tough. He talked, but he backed it up.” Before McGregor began his walk to the cage, a small circular stage carrying Sinead O’Connor rose out of a green fog as she serenaded the crowd. Country singer Aaron Lewis did the same for Mendes moments later as the Irish crowd loudly booed. Mendes cut McGregor above the right eye in the first round. McGregor smiled it off and kept playing to the crowd, but Mendes spent much of the second round on top and in control. “I was hitting him with everything I had, and the guy was still running his mouth,” Mendes said. “That’s Conor, I guess. I’d land a giant elbow on his face, and he’d say, ’That’s all you got?”’ After Mendes’ submission failed,

McGregor eventually leaned in to land a right-left combination that stunned Mendes. Referee Herb Dean had to stop it close to the bell. “I don’t have any regrets,” Mendes said of taking the fight on short notice. “Conor is a guy that I knew I was going to be fighting eventually. This is the UFC. You have to get in here and do it.” Lawler (26-10) and his Canadian challenger did extensive damage to each other in the penultimate bout. Lawler finally ended his first successful title defence with a big left hand directly into the face of MacDonald (183), who rolled onto his back in agony. Right before that, Stephens and Bermudez put on an amazing featherweight fight. Stephens, who missed weight, bled extensively in the first round, and both fighters were knocked down in a crazy second before Stephens ended it with a flying knee to Bermudez’s face. UFC 189 marked the debut of the promotion’s new uniforms. Every fighter walked to the cage and competed in similar outfits designed by Reebok. inson Volquez will start a split-doubleheader Friday at the White Sox.

Canada continues to lead medal STORIES FROM PAGE B1 standings at Pam Am games JAYS: Taking STAMPS: It’s been a BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canada came flying out of the gates at the 2015 Pan American Games with eight medals on opening day. It turned out that Day 2 was twice as good. Canadian athletes raked in 16 medals, including six gold, in Sunday’s Pan Am action. With 10 gold, eight silver and six bronze, Canada led all nations in both gold and overall medals. Canada’s cyclists got the ball rolling early in the day. Emily Batty, of Brooklin, Ont., and Catharine Pendrel of Harvey Station, N.B., finished onetwo in the women’s mountain biking competition, while Raphael Gagne of Quebec City won the men’s race. Calgary’s Lynda Kiejko won the women’s 10-metre air pistol, then Canada swept the gold medals in rugby sevens competition. Later, Jennifer Abel of Laval, Que., dominated the competition in the women’s three-metre springboard, with Montreal teammate Pamela Ware taking silver. In the women’s mountain bike, Batty finished the race in one hour 27 minutes 13 seconds — seven seconds faster than Pendrel. “It’s really just pushing each other,” Batty said. “It doesn’t matter who’s first on the day as long as it’s a Canadian. So we got gold and silver, which was amazing.” Pendrel, who won gold in the event at the 2007 Rio Games, is known for setting a strong early pace and hoping others can’t match it. Batty showed she was up for the challenge. “Emily and I are really motivated by each other,” Pendrel said. “We don’t just want to be the best at this race, we want to be the best in the world. You be the best in the world by pushing the most that you can out of your riding and I think we did that today.” Gagne finished the men’s six-lap race in 1:31:14. “I think I played it very smart,” Gagne said. “I paced myself well, I drank well and I ate well and it played into my favour. I’ve always been able to start strong but sometimes my finishes were not as strong. But definitely today I finished really, really strong so I’m happy with this.” Kiejko scored 195.7 to win the air pistol and finish ahead of Mexico’s Alejandra Zavala and Lilian Castro of El Salvador. It was Kiejko’s second Pan Am med-

al. She captured bronze in the same event in 2003. “This gold medal is especially sweet for me,” said Kiejko, who comes from a family of shooters. “Four years ago, my sister won the gold medal in Guadalajara in the same event. It’s pretty awesome.” Canada crushed the United States 55-7 to win the inaugural Pan Am women’s rugby title. The men later made it a Canadian sweep, coming back to beat Argentina 22-19 and defend the Pan Am title they won in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2011. “There’s definitely more great days for this team,” women’s captain Jen Kish said. “Every time we put on the Canadian jersey we want to give the best performance that we can. We’re always cup-hunting. We always want to be the best that we can be so you can expect many more trophies from us building towards Rio.” Abel easily won the springboard gold medal with a personal best score of 384.70. Ware, who took home silver, was a distant second, finishing 58.70 points behind. “It’s amazing. I’ve never seen her dive that well,” Ware said of Abel. “This was her day. She was amazing.” Abel’s performance was highlighted by her impressive third dive, which earned her a score of 86.7. “I was just really confident and I was just telling myself that, no matter what, you have to nail the entry,” she said. “That’s what I went for and being able to score that high on that dive, that’s going to (put) me on another level and I’m really happy about that for tonight. Canada’s equestrian team earned a silver medal in team dressage, narrowly losing out to the United States. In artistic gymnastics, a sixth-overall performance from Halifax native Ellie Black led Canada to a sliver medal in the women’s team event. Canadian judokas added three medals, with Antoine Bouchard of Jonquiere, Que., winning silver in the men’s 66-kilogram event, Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard, of St-Hubert, Que., taking silver in women’s 57 kg and Montreal’s Arthur Margelidon earning bronze in the men’s 73 kg. In squash, Ottawa’s Sam Cornett and Montreal’s Shawn Delierre picked up bronze medals after losing their semifinal matches. Montreal’s Francis Luna-Grenier earned Canada’s first weightlifting medal of these Games with a bronze in the men’s 69-kilogram event.

“After being in Chicago and getting sore again, and listening to doctors’ recommendations, there’s some therapy and some rehab that needs to be done,” he said. “Normally you would need a few days off during the regular season. I’m taking advantage of this due to the break. It’s the smart thing for me to do for my health and to the end of the season.” TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: 3B Josh Donaldson was not in the lineup because of flu-like symptoms, which forced him to leave the game in the sixth inning Saturday. ... RHP Aaron Sanchez (right lat strain) threw 2 2/3 innings in a rehab appearance Saturday for Single-A Dunedin, giving up one run on three hits and two walks, while striking out five. Royals: LHP Jason Vargas (left flexor strain) will make his first rehab start Monday for Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

The 29-year-old quarterback has put up back-to-back solid performances filling in for veteran Ricky Ray. Ray is expected to be sidelined another month after off-season rotator cuff surgery. Harris is 54-for-65 for 614 yards and seven touchdown passes with only one interception. That’s a lethal 83.1 completion percentage. “I have receivers that all the quarterbacks in the league would probably die for, and our offensive line has held up really well,” said Harris. “It’s been a perfect storm for me to walk into and just be a small piece to the puzzle of what everyone else is doing.” Argonauts coach Scott Milanovich knows his team has its work cut out for them against Calgary. “It’s always easier to get your team up after a disappointment so I have no doubts that as the defending champs, they’ll be ready to go,” said Milanovich. It’s the third of five consecutive games away from Rogers Centre to start the season for Toronto, who don’t play at home until August 8 because of the Pan Am Games.

B4 Buccaneers blow out Vandals MONDAY, JULY 13, 2015

BY JOSH ALDRICH ADVOCATE STAFF Buccaneers 66 Vandals 6 LACOMBE — The Lloydminster Vandals had no chance. The 2012 national champions showed up in Lacombe on Saturday night to take on the Central Alberta Buccaneers with just 19 players, the end result was a predictable 66-6 blow out as the Bucs improved to 4-1 on the Alberta Football League season. The Vandals fought to the last whistle, but ran out of gas somewhere in the third quarter. “You’ve got to give those guys a lot of respect for coming all of the way down here with a light squad, in the heat and they compete the way they did, a bunch of classy guys, real tough guys,” said Buccaneers head coach Devon Hand. “I thought we competed and we did what we set out to do which was have a statement game run the ball, score some points, play solid defence, play super physical, we did all that, I’m happy with that.” The hard-luck Vandals were coming off of their first win in two seasons on June 28 — 28-14 over the Calgary Wolfpack — after their national championship team was quickly dismantled with players transferring to different programs or leaving football altogether. This weekend was an example of some of the difficulty they have had in getting commitment from players as they lost several to the Craven Country Jamboree, while other had prior engagements or were injured. It was a long process to build the Vandals into the perennial power they once were, but they are trying to re-build back from square one. But there has been on constant with the club from Day 1 of the franchise 12 years ago, team president and receiver Glen Dembicki. “We definitely feel we have the arrow pointing up from the past few seasons,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys, a good core group of guys and a more local team to Lloyd now. It’s more of a hometown feel than when we had a lot of travelling players.” On Saturday, it was really over before it started. The Buccaneers racked up a 43-6 lead at half time on touchdown runs by running back Junior Rivera and Tanner Green while quarterback Pascal Plante hit Matt Merkley for a 31-yard touchdown reception and quarterback Jamie Fox connected with Axsivier Lawrence for an 18-yard touchdown reception. Cornerback Tylor Johanesson added an 88-yard interception for a touchdown while kicking two field goals of 22 and 31 yards. The Bucs were also the recipient of a surrendered safety by Lloydminster, with their offence backed up on third down. The Vandals scored their only points of the game in the half on a 34 yard quarterback bootleg by second-year pivot Mike Holman who left everyone in his dust, but Bucs defensive captain mark Fay blocked the extra point. The game clock mercifully switched to straight time in the second half, but the Buccaneers still managed to stretch the lead out further as Fox connected for two more touchdown passes, first to Merkley on a 20-yard corner route, and then a 75-yard catch and run play with Green over the middle. The Vandals also gave up one more safety in the third quarter. Running back Brett Lapointe added one more score on the ground, running for 42 yards over an exhausted Vandals defence late in the fourth quarter. Though it was a completely one-sided affair for the Buccaneers, it did allow their struggling offence

Central Alberta won 66-6. to seemingly get on track. Plante had his best game as a Buccaneer, for the first time all season looking comfortable with the offence while Fox finished with three touchdowns and his one interception came on the last play of the first half as he threw it up for grabs with Dembicki coming down with it. The running game also kept ploughing along. Though stats were not available at press time, they easily extended their streak of 200-plus rushing yards to three games. In the end the score could have been much worse as the Bucs had several touchdowns called back on penalties. “You’re happy to out up points, but at the same time you have to consider the opponent and then you don’t want to get to far ahead of yourself,” said Hand. It wasn’t long ago that we were on the other side of those types of scores, where Lloydminster came in here and put 70 or 80 (points) on us, so you can never forget where you came from. You learn from it, you move on and you don’t get too fat and happy.” The defence also played lights out, with just the one breakdown on Holman’s 34-yard scramble for a touchdown. They shut down the Vandals’ running game and held the passing game in check, breaking

Locals have big part in Canada winning gold at inline hockey worlds Team Canada, with Red Deer natives Adam Ross and Chris Rauckman on the roster and Jason Stephens of Sylvan Lake as head coach, downed the host Finns 4-2 in the final of the IHF Inline Hockey World Championship Sunday in Tampere, Finland. Ross, who drew an assist in the gold-medal game, was Canada’s second-leading scorer through six games with six goals and 13 points. He was also the team’s top plus/

minus player at plus-8 and was named the top defenceman of the tournament. Ross patrolled the Old Grizzlys’ blueline for three seasons — from 2004 to 2007 — and attended NCAA Division 1 Merrimack College for four years on an athletic scholarship. The 28-year-old played two seasons of minor pro — in the ECHL and AHL — before spending the 2013-14 season with the Cardiff Devils of the British Elite League.

Rauckman contributed a goal and an assist for Canada at Tampere and was a plus-4. The 20-year-old closed out his junior hockey career last season with the Flin Flon Bombers of the SJHL, scoring 39 goals and recording 64 points in 56 games. Rauckman will suit up with the University of Prince Edward Island Panthers this fall. Harold and Joseph Stephens of Sylvan Lake were members of the Team Canada staff.

WOMEN’S RUGBY

Heather Lund of Red Deer was credited with two shots on goal in Sunday’s women’s soccer bronzemedal game of the 2015 Summer Universiade at Gwangju, South Korea, but neither found the back of the opposition net. None of her teammates could cash in, either, as Canada fell 5-0 to Japan. Lund, a University of Alberta Pandas striker, had better luck earlier in the tournament, scoring once in a 2-0 win over France and netting both goals in Canada’s 2-0 conquest of the United States. Lund had three shots on goal in a 2-1 loss to the Czech Republic and one in a 4-1 semifinal loss to Russia Saturday.

LACROSSE The junior B tier 1 Red Deer Rampage clinched first place in the North Division of the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Saturday with a 7-6 win over the South Division-leading Calgary Jr. Mounties. Dawson Reykdal and Logan Elliot each netted two goals to lead the Rampage, while Darrian Banack was the winning netminder at the Kinex. The Rampage fell 8-4 Sunday to the host Calgary Chill, getting goals from Brandyn Blain, Ryan Beatson, Elliot and Nate Bellanger. Banack took the loss in net. The Red Deer squad will begin playoffs this weekend.

He is looking forward to their showdown with the Fort McMurray Monarchs (4-1) — coming off a 100-0 win over the Airdrie Irish (0-5) on Saturday — that will determine home field advantage. The two teams meet on July 25 at 7 p.m. at Lacombe. “The thing with them is they believe in their guys, they don’t care about me, they can watch me and see that I got two picks today and two picks last week, they don’t care,” said Johanesson. “They think they’re better than us, which works good for me because I think I’m better than them. They’re going to challenge me and their going to challenge our other (defensive backs) ... I want to be challenged, to be the best you’ve got to beat the best. I’m really looking forward to it and I know our guys are too.” NOTES — The Buccaneers debuted three new players, running back Neil Daniels from the Calgary Gators and Fort McMurray defensive backs Steven Adu and Michael Asare. jaldrich@reddeeradvocate.com

Renegades’ tactics pay off in win over Lethbridge WOMEN’S SOCCER BY ADVOCATE STAFF Renegades 2 FC 1 The Red Deer Renegades’ attention to detail paid off Sunday at Edgar Park. “We’ve been focusing a bit more on tactics and formation,” said co-coach Patrick Sweiger, following the team’s 2-1 Alberta Major Women’s Soccer League win over Lethbridge FC. “Really, we’re just working on players being where they need to be and from there good things have happened.” Chantal Park and Paula Dadensky provided the Red Deer goals in front of keeper Anne Ulliac and the squad, as a whole, stuck to the game plan. Jaydn Fode scored for the visitors. “We’ve been focusing more on off the ball movement and what the role of each player is,” Sweiger added. “As a player, 90 per cent of the time you don’t have the ball so we’re trying to stress the importance of what you’re doing without the ball. “It gave us three points today. It’s a start, there’s still plenty to clean up and it’s going to take a lot of work.” The victory was Red Deer’s second of the season versus two draws and six losses. The club fell 3-1 Saturday to the host Edmonton Angels. “It wasn’t the result we wanted,” said Sweiger, in reference to Saturday’s setback. “We didn’t really have a chance to talk to the players about what we needed each person to do as a role. Little things were breaking down.” But the Renegades rebounded nicely 24 hours later despite being pushed to the end by the visiting side. “It’s no as fun to play in a tight game,” said Sweiger, a former Red Deer College Kings player. “The reason we play is to have fun, but we want to win as well. “It was good to have a tight game but even better to come out with three points.” The Renegades have four regular-season games remaining and don’t return to action until July 29 versus host Edmonton Victoria. The Red Deer squad will be in Calgary Aug. 5 to face the Callies, will host Calgary CFSC Major Aug. 16 at Edgar Park and will visit Lethbridge Aug. 22. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Spieth rolls to fourth 2015 win DOWNS TOM GILLIS IN PLAYOFF TO WIN JOHN DEERE CLASSIC BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SILVIS, Ill. — Jordan Spieth made it a lot tougher on himself than it needed to be. In the end, Spieth got exactly what he was looking for from the John Deere Classic: a win and some positive energy ahead of the British Open. Spieth beat Tom Gillis on the second hole of a playoff to win at TPC Deere Run on Sunday for his fourth victory of the season. Gillis and Spieth, who opened the tournament with an even-par 71, finished the final round at 20-under 264. Zach Johnson and Danny Lee tied for third at 19 under. “To be able to shoot 20-under in three rounds is nice momentum,” Spieth said. “The finish, when I really didn’t feel like tee to green I had much (Sunday), gives me a lot of momentum to draw on if I don’t have my best stuff. ” The 46-year-old Gillis, who was attempting to become the oldest firsttime winner on the PGA Tour in 20 years, sent an approach into the water. Spieth made par for his second win at this tournament in three years. Now Spieth heads to the British Open in search of his third consecutive major championship. Spieth is the first golfer to win four times before the Open Championship since Tiger Woods in 2000 — and he silenced many of the critics who questioned why he played this tournament instead of heading overseas early to prepare for St. Andrews. “I really didn’t care anyways. I came here for a reason, and we accomplished that reason,” Spieth said. After shooting a career-best 10 un-

der on Saturday, Spieth entered the final round with a two-shot lead. But the field caught up to Spieth when he turned in a pedestrian front nine. Spieth bogeyed two of his first three holes and was soon passed by the likes of Gillis and Johnson. Spieth was even at the turn and two shots back of Gillis, who in 171 previous PGA Tour starts had only finished in the top three twice. Spieth’s low point was a bogey on the par-4 11th hole after a putt from the fringe went left. But Gillis played his final six holes at even par. Spieth roared back into contention with four birdies in five holes, including a 21-foot chip from the fringe on No. 16. Spieth had a 30-foot putt for the win on No. 18, but he pushed it left. He nearly won on the first hole of the playoff, but his 33-foot try lipped out. Even though Spieth ultimately outlasted the field, he knows he has some work to do — specifically with his driver, which abandoned him at times this weekend — if he hopes to make it three majors in a row. “I need to fine tune my driver. I love where my putter is at. My pace control, my speed is awesome right now,” Spieth said. Gillis matched Spieth with a par on the first hole in sudden death. But a tee shot that went into the rough led to a shot in the water, effectively ending his bid for an elusive victory. Gillis shot a 7-under 64 in the final round. “When you’re going to be 47, the window is closing,” Gillis said. “What I saw (Sunday) and the last three days, I’d have to say makes me think I’ve still got some tread on the tires left.”

Jordan Spieth poses with the John Deere Classic trophy after winning the tournament by defeating Tom Gillis on the second playoff hole Sunday, in Silvis, Ill. It is the fourth victory on the PGA Tour this season for Spieth who will be looking to win his third major in a row this week at the British Open.

Chun storms back to win U.S. Women’s Open BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LANCASTER, Pa. — In Gee Chun’s modest goal for her first U.S. Women’s Open was to enjoy every new experience. Boy, did she enjoy herself. The 20-year-old South Korean stormed from behind, posting birdies on four of the last seven holes to rally for an unlikely one-stroke victory Sunday. Chun shot a 4-under 66 in the final round and finished at 8 under, becoming the first player to win her U.S. Open debut since Birdie Kim in 2005. “Everything I faced and I did here was completely new,” Chun said. “So all I did was enjoy the new stuff ... I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun. Even though I’m Korean, here American fans supported me a lot and they gave a lot of claps. That has put me in the great rhythm of play, and I enjoyed that tournament rhythm.” A bright smile rarely left Chun’s face, and that was part of the plan. “Without thinking any negatively, all I could do was just enjoy the game,” she said. “That’s what has brought me to the U.S. Open win, I believe.” The win was Chun’s fifth of the year after three in Korea and one in Japan. She credited her experience in four LPGA Tour events earlier this season for her success in the other events and preparing her for the rigours of the U.S. Open. “With all those four wins this year, I got a lot of confidence coming into this tournament,” Chun said. “And that’s why I could enjoy every moment of the tournament.” Third-round leader Amy Yang struggled in the middle of her round and then pulled within one by going eaglebirdie at Nos. 16 and 17. But she bo-

Playing in the final group on the last day of the championship for the third time in four years, Yang squandered a three-stroke lead and settled for a 1-over 71 and second at 273. Two-time champion and top-ranked Inbee Park (67) overcame putting woes and rallied late, tying for third with Stacy Lewis (70) at 5-under 275. Lewis was three back at the start of the round. Defending champion Michelle Wie battled hip and leg injuries and limped

in with an even-par 70, placing 11th at 2-under 278. As Yang and Lewis drew most of the focus as the last grouping, Chun went about picking up strokes on the leaders. At 4 under heading into the final round at Lancaster Country Club, Chun picked up two strokes on the front nine, closing within two of the lead. “I knew it wasn’t going to come down to the two of us,” Lewis said. “I knew somebody was going to shoot a number to get up there.” Chun got within a stroke with a

birdie at the 12th, and then rolled in a nine-foot putt at No. 15 for the first of three straight birdies. She moved into the lead with a birdie at 16 as Yang and Lewis struggled. She added another birdie at the 17th to stretch her lead to two strokes. At the troublesome 421-yard, uphill closing hole, Chun drove into the rough, chipped short and went on to make bogey, falling into a tie for the lead with Yang, who birdied 17. But Yang failed again in her bid to claim the biggest prize in women’s golf. She also drove into the rough at the last hole, chipped short of the green and failed to get up-and-down for par, giving Chun the win. “I did my best out there today,” Yang said. Yang was tied for the lead heading into the final round of 2014 and second after 54 holes in 2012. She tried to put another failed final round into perspective. “It was another good experience,” she said. “It just didn’t go as well as I thought, but I learned another great lesson here. And it’s going to make me better player, improve my game.” Lewis’ bid for her first U.S. Open title was foiled by a pair of double-bogeys, with the most costly one coming at 15, a hole after she had moved into a tie for the lead. At the 15th, she drove into the rough, hit her second shot through the fairway, and then dumped her third shot into a greenside bunker before taking a 6 and falling out of contention. “I think anytime you have a championship like this, you want to have somebody go out there and win it, and that’s definitely what happened there at the end,” Lewis said. But, the two-time major winner admitted the loss stung. “I’ll get over this eventually, but it will take a day or two,” Lewis said.

Fowler overtakes Kuchar to win at Scottish Open GULLANE, Scotland — Rickie Fowler had a season full of near misses last year. He’s finding the winner’s circle much easier to locate in 2015. Two months after winning The Player Championship to end a three-year title drought, Fowler produced another nerveless display down the stretch to capture the Scottish Open on Sunday for his first victory on European soil. The American birdied three of the last four holes over the Gullane links for a 2-under 68 in his final round to overhaul compatriot Matt Kuchar and win by one shot. Fowler took the outright lead for the first time this week with his last shot of the tournament, a tap-in putt from inside two feet after a stunning approach with a 57-degree wedge from 109 yards. “I can definitely get used to having more of these,” Fowler said, looking at the gleaming trophy in front of him. All the current talk in golf is of the fight for global domination between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth. Fowler, a top-five finisher in all four majors in 2014, has been elbowed out of that particular conversation. Perhaps that should be revised. Fowler certainly is proving he can rise to the big occasion. He went birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie on the last four holes at The Players to force a playoff in the greatest finish in the 34-year history of the TPC Sawgrass.

Here, he reacted to a bogey on No. 14 to go birdie-birdie-par-birdie. “Very similar to down the stretch at The Players,” Fowler said. “Worked out just fine.” It is the fourth title of Fowler’s professional career, and the second outside the United States after the Korea Open in 2011. And his links game looks in good shape ahead of next week’s British Open at St. Andrews. “To win on a links golf course, my favourite style of golf, in Scotland and the week before the Open and going to St. Andrews, the Home of Golf is great timing,” he said. “I like my chances (at the British Open).” Kuchar was on the practice range, preparing for a playoff after shooting a 68, when applause drifted across from the grandstands on No. 18. Fowler had just nailed his approach. After knocking in what proved to be the winning putt, Fowler doffed his cap and acknowledged the crowd. But he had to wait for the final pairing of France’s Raphael Jacquelin and England’s Daniel Brooks to play the last before really celebrating. Jacquelin was the only one who could force a playoff, but he needed an eagle 2. That almost happened, with his approach from 120 yards spinning back to a foot from the cup. Jacquelin shot 70 to tie for second place with Kuchar, and claim one of three British Open places on offer. Brooks, ranked No. 528 and the thirdround leader by a shot, and Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg took the others for

finishing in the top 10. Playing the biggest round of his life, Brooks’ driving was poor and he was forced to scramble for a 73 that tied for seventh with Luke Donald (66) and

Ross Fisher (68). Marc Warren of Scotland shot 64 to finish in a three-way tie for fourth on 10 under, with Eddie Pepperell (69) and Joost Luiten (70).

Djokovic downs Federer in final SECOND STRAIGHT TITLE AT WIMBLEDON, NINTH GRAND SLAM TITLE LONDON — A game away from a third Wimbledon championship and ninth Grand Slam title, Novak Djokovic sized up a 108 mph serve from none other than Roger Federer and stretched to smack a cross-court forehand return winner. Two points later, Djokovic again took the measure of a serve from Federer, this one at 123 mph, and delivered a down-the-line backhand for another return winner. After this one, Djokovic bellowed. “I roared because I felt like that’s the moment,” Djokovic would say later. “Now is the time for me to close this match out.” One forehand winner later, he did. For the second year in a row, Djokovic solved Federer’s superb serve in the final at the All England Club. And for the second year in a row, Federer’s bid for a record eighth championship at the grass-court tournament ended with a defeat against Djokovic. This time, the match was even as can be through two sets, before the No. 1-seeded Djokovic grabbed ahold of it and wouldn’t let go, beating No. 2 Federer 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 Sunday thanks to brilliant returning. “It feels, obviously, good when you make a return winner out of Roger’s serve on the grass,” Djokovic said, “but it doesn’t happen too often.” Over the past three seasons, Federer has reached two Grand Slam finals — both at Wimbledon, both against Djokovic, both losses. “You sort of walk away empty-handed. For me, a finalist trophy is not the same,” a grim-faced Federer said. “Everybody knows that.” At Wimbledon in 2014, Federer won 88 of 89 service games through the semifinals, then was broken four times by Djokovic during the five-set final. This fortnight, Federer won 89 of 90 service games entering the final, then again was broken four times. “It takes a little bit of everything: recognizing the moment, having the good intuition, following your instincts of where the serve is going to go, being in the right balance,” Djokovic said. “I mean, it’s not that easy, especially with Roger’s precision and accuracy.”

Djokovic’s serve was stout, too: He saved six of seven break points. On a windy afternoon, Federer was simply not the same height-of-his-powers player who defeated Andy Murray in the semifinals. Pressured by Djokovic’s body-twisting ability to extend points, Federer committed 35 unforced errors; Djokovic made 16. Federer and Djokovic have played 40 times; each has won 20. “Novak played not only great today,” said Federer, 33, the oldest Wimbledon finalist since 1974, “but the whole two weeks, plus the whole year, plus last year, plus the year before that.” Federer might very well be the greatest of all time, as some say, but right now, the best in the men’s game is Djokovic. He won the Australian Open in January, then was the runner-up at the French Open last month, denying him a career Grand Slam. Go further back, and Djokovic has reached 15 of the past 20 major finals, winning eight. Still, most spectators were pulling for Federer. So quiet between points that pre-serve ball bounces could be heard, the crowd voiced a collective “awwwww” of lament after a fault by Federer or a mid-point “ooooh” of excitement when he conjured up something exquisite. “More or less, anywhere I play against Roger, it’s the same,” said Djokovic, who barked at some fans late in the fourth set. Federer rued letting the opening set get away. Twice, he held a set point and failed to convert. The tiebreaker ended flatly on Federer’s double-fault, part of a run in which Djokovic took 14 of 15 points. “For me to win this match,” Federer said, “I probably had to win the first set.” He regrouped, staving off seven set points in the second and taking that tiebreaker. So 110 minutes in, they were tied. Here’s how close it was: In the first set, each man won 37 points; in the second set, each won 51. At the changeover, Djokovic yelled at himself. Maybe it helped, because his second break gave him a 2-1 edge in the third, and he finished that set off quickly following a 20-minute rain delay. Federer failed to put up much resistance in the fourth, getting broken twice more.

Bourdais holds off Castroneves to win at Milwaukee Mile INDYCAR BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — A late surge at the Milwaukee Mile gave Sebastien Bourdais a milestone win and a confidence boost on an oval track. And to think, he wasn’t quite sure what to expect from his car after qualifying. Bourdais pulled away following a late caution in the 250-lap race on Sunday for his second IndyCar victory of the season, turning aside a brief challenge from second-place finisher Helio Castroneves to win by 2.2 seconds. It was Bourdais’ 34th career victory, tying him with Al Unser Jr. for seventh on the all-time list. “I respect the stats because you put yourself on a very special list with very respected and great drivers. But I don’t live for stats. I don’t look and contemplate myself,” he said. “I just enjoy the moment, have fun with it.” Bourdais was beaming after winning the trophy emblazoned with the words “Big Cheese.” It was his first victory at an oval since winning at Milwaukee in 2006. “On these ovals, you can go from hero to zero and back to hero again,” Bourdais said. “When the car is right, it’s so, so special.” An unusually tight schedule on Sunday, which included a morning practice and midday qualifying before the late-afternoon race, added a different wrinkle at the Mile. It took a little while before Bourdais started feeling good about his car. Then he started to dominate, taking over the lead for good on Lap 188. “We could run the bottom and make moves in traffic that no one else was doing,” Bourdais said. He looked like he was on his way to a comfortable victory until the caution flag game out on Lap 222 when Justin

Anaheim Ducks sign Chris Stewart to 1-year, $1.7 million free-agent deal ANAHEIM, Calif. — Right wing Chris Stewart has agreed to a one-year, $1.7 million deal with the Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim announced the deal Sunday. Stewart played for Buffalo and Min-

Wilson’s car stalled. The yellow flag gave others brief hope — before Bourdais pulled away again. He held on when racing resumed for an 18-lap sprint to the finish. “Today we’re really starting to make progress at ovals,” Bourdais said. Castroneves came close to spoiling the fun with a remarkable run after starting last in the 24-car field. Graham Rahal was third. “I didn’t know what position I was until Lap 200, I think,” Castroneves said. “I glanced and saw my number and thought ’Oh, I guess I am doing well.”’ It was a relatively clean race — and far less stressful for drivers than the frantic, five-wide scrums two weeks ago at the superspeedway in Fontana. There were just three cautions on Sunday. Bourdais led a race-high 118 laps. The KVSH Racing driver had such a big cushion late that he kept the lead even after pitting on Lap 213. The victory allowed Bourdais to move up one spot to sixth on the driver standings. Points leader Juan Pablo Montoya finished fourth but added to his lead over second place on the season leaderboard. He has a 54-point cushion after Sunday’s race. Montoya’s teammate at Penske, Will Power, got knocked out in in the 131st lap after appearing to get clipped around Turn 4 by Ryan Briscoe’s spinning car. Briscoe, who started second, said traffic around the third turn took away his air. Second in the standings behind Montoya entering Sunday, Power dropped to fifth in the driver standings going into next week’s race at Iowa. The wreck left Power in 22nd place at the Mile. It’s going to be more difficult for the defending series champion to repeat with four races left in the season. “There is no question it is going to make it tough, but we will keep focused and go on to the next one,” Power said. nesota last season, collecting 36 points and 88 penalty minutes. He appeared in eight post-season games with the Wild, getting two assists. Stewart also has played for Colorado and St. Louis in his seven-year NHL career. He led the Blues with 36 points during the lockout-shortened season in 2013. He will provide toughness and veteran depth for the Ducks, who lost Matt Beleskey in free agency and traded away Emerson Etem and Kyle Palmieri. Stewart also will add toughness along with Brian McGrattan, who signed a one-year deal with Anaheim on Friday.

Williams beats Muguruza to win Wimbledon for 4th straight Grand Slam title LONDON — When her opponent’s final shot sailed out, Serena Williams wasn’t sure whether the match was over or not. It took a few seconds before the realization sunk in — not only had she won her sixth Wimbledon title, but her bid for another “Serena Slam” was complete. Williams overcame a slow start, eight double-faults and a nervy finish to dispatch Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday for her fourth Grand Slam championship in a row and 21st major overall. The win means Williams holds all four Grand Slam titles at once — completing the second “Serena Slam” of her career. What’s more, she secured the third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam and, if she wins the U.S. Open,

will become the first player to sweep all four majors in the same season since Steffi Graf in 1988. “I can’t believe I’m standing here at another Grand Slam,” Williams said in an on-court interview after the match. “I’m having so much fun out here. I just never dreamt I would be out here still and let alone winning.” Williams, who won her 28th straight Grand Slam match, is now just one major title behind Graf on the Open era list and three behind all-time leader Margaret Court. At 33, Williams is also the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era. She has now won eight major championships in her 30s, including her first Wimbledon title since 2012. “It feels so good,” Williams said after accepting the winner’s trophy — the Venus Rosewater Dish — on Centre Court from the Duke of Kent. “It’s been a little while and you really appreciate holding it.”

Busch outduels Logano to win NASCAR Sprint Cup 400-mile race at Kentucky Speedway BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASCAR

SPARTA, Ky. - Though Kyle Busch remains outside NASCAR’s championship playoff looking in, his prospects continue getting stronger. There was no doubting the strength of his No. 18 Toyota Camry on Saturday night, especially in the clutch. Busch outdueled Joey Logano late to win the Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway, moving a little closer to making the 10-race championship playoff. He dominated the 400-mile race, leading 163 of 267 laps after starting ninth for his second victory here in five starts. But he had to outlast Logano during one late segment in which they traded leads for several laps. Busch finally got the upper hand on Logano’s No. 22 Ford on lap 248 and he went on to his second victory in three races after missing the first 11 events with leg and foot injuries sustained in February at Daytona. “He got away from me and I was

nervous (that) I wasn’t going to be able to get back to him,” Busch said, “but I knew to just try something different to go get him. Man, that really worked.” Busch also gained two spots to stand 35th in points, five below the position needed to qualify for the Chase. “That right there is what we have to do,” he added. “Just to score as many points as we possibly can and score those wins.” Busch’s teammates Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth followed Logano as Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas dominated the top five. Busch, who won last month’s road race in Sonoma, California, in his fifth start back, won the inaugural 2011 race at Kentucky from the pole. Defending race champion Brad Keselowski, whose No. 2 Ford was the strongest car at many points in the race, led 62 laps after starting second. But he struggled late to overcome pit road issues and finished sixth.

above 30 degrees Celsius, the festival was the coolest place to be in Central Alberta. With a variety of headliners and up-and-coming indie bands, there was ear candy for a variety of different musical tastes. Hedley, Our Lady Peace, and Matthew Good headlined performances throughout the two-day event. Dragonnette and Dear Rouge shared their talents, and The Dudes, Stars, The Wet Secrets and

Made Them Lions rounded off the all-Canadian lineup. Hundreds of fans from across the province were drawn to event, packing the stage front for nearly every performance. While crowds didn’t get too rowdy overall, Our Lady Peace stopped their set Friday night after a security guard was injured by a crowd surfer. The guard was taken to hospital and released Saturday morning.

C2 Stimulus spending on the way

MONDAY, JULY 13, 2015

FEDS LOOK TO FAMILY BENEFIT CHEQUES, INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING TO BOOST ECONOMY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — All but overlooked in the past week of troubling economic news was federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s unexpected nod to government stimulus spending. The run-up to an October general election is happening amid talk of recession, international downgrades of Canada’s growth prospects, weak world oil prices and several grim provincial outlooks — stormy seas for an incumbent Conservative government seeking a fourth mandate after staking its reputation on sound economic management. A Conservative re-election plan engineered in sunnier days when a return to balanced budgets could comfortably co-exist with voter-friendly spending bonanzas is now being repurposed as a recessionfighting necessity. “What people should understand is that some of the measures which the prime minister announced and which I announced in the budget will inject almost $10 billion in cash into the economy this year,” Oliver told reporters in Vancouver last Tuesday. “The two primary sources of that cash input relate to the family benefits program and infrastructure spending. So that will have an impact, a positive impact on Canadian economic activity.” WHAT’S COMING? Parents with children under 18 will

start getting new benefit cheques — retroactive to Jan. 1 — on July 20, a one-time, pre-election burst of cash totalling more than $2.5 billion. Conservative ministers and MPs, meanwhile, are announcing new community infrastructure projects virtually every day Joe Oliver this summer from a variety of infrastructure funds — some of which have lain fallow for months awaiting the optimal pre-election moment for government-friendly announcements. Oliver’s office says the government added more than $1.6 billion to existing infrastructure funding for 2015-16. Economists, as is their way, are divided on whether the family benefit spending spree or the infrastructure dollars will have much economic impact this year. But they all agree that with a new Conservative balanced budget law in place and an election looming, additional recession-fighting fiscal measures from the government are not in the cards before Canadians go to the polls in October. “They’re a little bit caught because

they’re basically making one of the big anchors of their election platform the return to a balanced budget,” said Don Drummond, a former senior Finance Canada official who now teaches at Queen’s University. Mike Moffatt, who teaches economics at the University of Western Ontario’s Ivey Business School and also serves as chief economist at the Mowat Centre, said last week’s 1.2 per cent growth prediction for the year by TD Bank suggests a $3 billion loss in revenue from Oliver’s April budget forecast, which was predicated on growth of 2.0 per cent. STIMULATING CHEQUES? Moffatt, who helped the Liberal party cost its family benefit package, believes this month’s burst of retroactive government cheques will have a positive impact. “I don’t think the government thought we’d be in a recession in July: ’Let’s make sure the cheques start flowing then!’ That is a happy accident, and I think that is quite beneficial,” said Moffatt. “I don’t think stimulus has to be more subtle than that.” Finn Poschman, vice-president of policy analysis at the C.D. Howe Institute, says the lump sum family benefits will certainly be welcome. “But the economic evidence of using transfers — putting cash in hands of households — to stimulate economic

activity is mixed. It’s generally not negative, nor is it strongly positive.” Poschman, a self-described “market oriented” economist, dryly noted that, as long as the family cash infusion isn’t funded through deficits, “the likelihood of it being harmless is much better than otherwise.” Drummond is equally cool to the idea. There’s “a pretty clear hierarchy” of what policy measures stimulate the economy, he said. In fact, the Conservatives’ own 2009 recession-fighting budget included a chart that showed the dollar-for-dollar GDP multipliers of seven different measures, with infrastructure spending the most beneficial. Personal and corporate income tax measures were at the bottom, with help for low-income households in the middle of the pack. Drummond says some portion of any tax relief or transfer to individuals will be saved and some spent, while infrastructure dollars all go back directly into the economy. Moreover, roughly a third of what families do spend goes toward imported items, mitigating the impact on the domestic market. The family cheques will have some effect, said Drummond, “but not an awful lot.”

Simons looking to expand in Canada BY THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL — One of Canada’s oldest family-owned retailers is hoping to defy industry woes by launching an expansion that could extend the Simons brand across Canada. The 175-year-old company based in Quebec City will open its ninth Quebec store in Gatineau next month before entering the British Columbia and Ontario markets and expanding its presence in Alberta. The fashion retailer is spending up to $200 million over the next four years to open eight stores. It says the move is intended to boost its annual sales base of more than $350 million. An outlet will open this fall in West Vancouver, followed by openings next year in Mississauga, Ont., and Ottawa. A second Edmonton store and a new one in Calgary will be added in 2017, and two more stores are expected to open in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough in 2018 and at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre in 2019. Atlantic Canada, the Prairies or Winnipeg could join the list as more stores are added to reach a maximum of 25 to 30 stores, says CEO Peter Simons. But Simons says he doesn’t feel any pressure to make hasty moves. “You don’t think in next-quarter increments when you’re a private company of five generations,” he said from Quebec City. “You think in 25-year increments.” Missing from the Simons national expansion plans is downtown Toronto, one of Canada’s toughest retail markets. Simons made a pitch to enter the Eaton Centre but that didn’t materialize. Meanwhile, U.S. retailer Nordstrom will open next year at the old Sears location in the Eaton Centre. Retail analyst Randy Harris of Trendex believes Simons’ gradual expansion will make it a “national powerhouse” in the Canadian apparel market. “A lot of retailers, while they’re worrying about Nordstrom and Saks,

He said Simons’ mid-market pricing and strong private label offering will resonate with shoppers looking for something new. In addition to clothes, Simons sells some home goods and is introducing shoes and a new restaurant concept called Eve. But unlike department stores, it doesn’t sell cosmetics or “hard goods” like appliances and furniture. Simons says he and his brother are keenly aware of the risks — particularly in trying to build upon its success in Quebec and spread it to English Canada while juggling the logistics of operating across the country. Few family-run companies survive

the third generation, let alone the fifth, he said. “Sure, when your name’s on the door and it goes badly, that sticks to you, so we’re nervous.” The Canadian fashion retail industry has seen its share of casualties with brands such as Mexx, Smart Set and Jacob closing or reducing their operations. In addition to facing an influx of foreign competitors, the sector is undergoing big change as people increasingly shop online. Simons offers online shopping. Independent retail analyst Brynn Winegard said Simons’ understanding of the Canadian consumer may give it a leg up over American retailers.

But she said Simons should have first focused on beefing up its omnichannel offering — an industry term referring to the use of stores, its website, mobile apps and any other possible ways to shop — then add stores close to its base in Quebec before expanding further afield. “We’ve seen a lot of failures in the retail space in the last little while,” she said. “The ones that have had good success really come to life in their online and non bricks-and-mortar space.” Simons said he expects the company’s online sales — which make up less than 10 per cent of its total sales — will grow. But he adds that it won’t trump the experience of receiving customer service in person.

The use of cash tends to vary across demographic groups based on region, age, income and education. The volume of cash decreased across all regions as well as income and education groups while the volume of credit card use increased. Cash is used mostly for travel/parking, entertainment/meals and other types of goods and services such as financial services, charities and in speciality shops. Consumers choose cash over credit and debit cards because it is easy to use and for cost and securities reasons. Cash is held for situations when cards are not accepted and still is used primarily for small-value transactions, but even its share of these transactions is going down. “The decrease in the volume share of cash use is not surprising in light of the introduction of payment innovations such as contactless payment cards and some stored-value cards which were designed to mimic the desirable properties of cash – i.e. they are easy to use and are fast,” the report says. Canadians also increasingly are buying online. A study of online purchases by Ipsos Reid for the Retail

Council of Canada has found that 82 per cent of Canadians have made an online purchase in the last year. The average cost of purchases was $954 with the most common being for beauty products followed by furniture and housewares, pet products and groceries. Although online purchases through a mobile device still are quite low – 20 per cent of Canadians made an online purchase using a smart phone in the last year – 90 per cent of Canadians use a desktop or laptop computer to buy online. The Bank of Canada report found that payment by mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets still is quite low at seven per cent with the highest use among the 18 to 34 year old demographic and concludes that “advances in technology and new business models may result in more payment innovations that could further affect the use of cash in Canada.” The reports speak for themselves.

Greek PM under pressure TSIPRAS FACING INTENSE PRESSURE FROM GREEK CREDITORS TO BACK A DEAL AS EXIT PUT ON TABLE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras reacts during a parliament meeting in Athens, Saturday. fund for a three-year 53.5 billion-euro ($59.5 billion) financial package but many officials in Brussels say the figure will have to be much higher and insist on tough Greek austerity measures. This would be Greece’s third bailout in five years. Greece desperately needs help to avoid a financial collapse. The economy is in freefall and the country faces big debt repayments in the coming weeks. Greek banks have been shuttered for the best part of two weeks and daily withdrawals from ATMs have been limited to a paltry 60 euros ($67). The banks, according to some accounts, have barely enough cash to last through the week. The broad outlines of a deal appeared to consist of a long series commitments from Tsipras to push through much of a drastic austerity program within days, while the 18 other eurozone leaders would commit to start talks on a new bailout program. In a four-page draft proposal put to eurozone leaders and obtained by The Associated Press, language up for discussion spoke of a potential “time-out from the euro area” for Greece if no

agreement could be found. It highlighted the increasing frustration with Greece during five months of fruitless talks. On Sunday, doubts on the Greek government’s commitment to implement tough measures continued. “The most important currency has been lost: that is trust and reliability,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, reflecting on five months of tortuous negotiations with Athens. In the draft document, Greece committed itself to pushing a first set of measures through parliament by Wednesday. Despite the stinging conditions on pension, market and privatization reforms, Tsipras insisted his government was ready to clinch a deal. “We owe that to the peoples of Europe who want Europe united and not divided,” he said. “We can reach an agreement tonight if all parties want it.” Merkel, however, insisted that Germany would not sway from its stance that Greece needs to do much more to get any help just to save its position in the 19-nation eurozone. “There will not be an agreement at all costs,” she said, coming into Sun-

Liberals, NDP to debate proposed B.C. LNG deal SUMMER LEGISLATIVE SESSION BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA — British Columbia’s politicians are returning to the legislature to debate the details of an agreement that could pave the way for the largest private investment in the province’s history — a proposed $36-billion liquefied natural gas export plant. The Pacific NorthWest LNG project planned for Lelu Island near Prince Rupert still requires federal environmental approval, and Malaysian energy giant Petronas has yet to make its final investment decision. But ratifying the project development agreement in the legislature provides investor certainty, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said. “We think the stakes are big,” he said about the deal he will introduce this week though legislative sessions are not typically held in the summer. “We are anxious to address the remaining issues that would lead to this particular project moving forward,” De Jong said. He said the potential economic returns from B.C.’s first LNG deal would outweigh targeted-tax tradeoffs included in a 25-year deal that is detailed in a legislative document he will table in the legislature. The project is estimated to create 4,500 construction jobs and could generate $9 billion in government revenues in a decade, de Jong said. He said B.C.’s entire forest industry brought in between $550 million and $600 million for the province over the

past five years. The agreement includes assurances that Pacific NorthWest LNG will not face significant increases in specific taxes, including the LNG income tax, the carbon tax and the natural-gas tax credit, de Jong said. It does not protect the company from increases in provincial sales and corporate taxes, he added. Opposition NDP Leader John Horgan said what he’s seen of the agreement looks more like a sellout than a payoff for the province. “I believe the (project development agreement), as it’s constituted, is in the interest of Petronas and not in the interest of B.C.,” Horgan said. “A quarter of a century tax holiday for a foreign company, no guarantees for direct jobs, no direct guarantee for local procurement. That strikes me as a failure all around and we’re going to be looking very hard at the legislation.” He said the New Democrats’ conditions for support on LNG deals include agreement by First Nations, fair returns for the province, jobs for British Columbians and solid environmental controls. “I support getting our resources to higher-priced markets,” Horgan said. “I support making sure the development of those resources is done by British Columbians. ”Temporary foreign workers are not the solution to a growing economy.“ The B.C. government has initiated a series of apprenticeship and skills and trades training initiatives at the secondary and post-secondary levels to said Drummond. INTEREST RATE RELIEF One measure outside the government’s direct control is a move in interest rates. The Bank of Canada is set to make a scheduled announcement Wednesday amid speculation its trend-setting rate could be cut in an effort to boost the economy. But the bank’s key rate, now at 0.75 per cent, is already at rock bottom, Drummond points out. “If an interest rate of three quarters is not doing the trick, why would we believe an interest rate at a half would make any difference?” he asked. “The only agents in the economy responding to lower interest rates are consumers and house buyers, and they’re just racking up more debt.”

increase the provincial labour pool in advance of an expected worker shortage in the oil and gas industry. Premier Christy Clark has said LNG developments could result in up to 100,000 jobs. There are currently 19 LNG proposals underway, including the Petronas project, but none has reached the production stage. Horgan said the Opposition also plans to use the summer legislative session to question the government on the ongoing scandal involving the firings of eight health researchers almost three years ago. The government has asked ombudsperson Jay Chalke to conduct a second review of the matter but the NDP, the fired workers and their families are calling for a public inquiry. One of the dismissed workers, Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide after losing his job amid government accusations of inappropriate and possible criminal conduct involving drug research.

Five things to watch for in Canadian business this week THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week: Babine inquest: The inquest into an explosion at a Babine Forest Products sawmill kicks off in Burns Lake, B.C., on Monday. Two men were killed and 20 others were injured in January 2012 when the mill caught fire and exploded. Environment: Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq will be in Boston on Tuesday to attend the two-day Council of the Commission for Environmental Co-operation. The meeting is aimed at discussing strategies to help communities in Canada, Mexico and the U.S. adapt to climate change. Interest rates: On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada announces its decision on its bench-setting interest rate while also releasing its quarterly update on the Canadian economy. Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz will hold a news conference to explain the bank’s actions amid concerns the country has fallen into recession. Corus: Also on Wednesday, media and entertainment company Corus Entertainment Inc. holds a conference call to discuss third-quarter results. Corus has faced pressure from a slow advertising market and various shifts in consumer habits. On the television side, cable companies have seen a growing number of subscribers cancel their packages, which doesn’t bode well for Corus’ speciality TV assets. Premiers: The provincial and territorial premiers begin a two-day meeting in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, on Thursday. Climate change and Canada’s sputtering economy are expected to top the agenda.

BRUSSELS — Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras faced intense pressure Sunday to back an onerous package of austerity measures demanded by European creditors in return for a financial rescue that would prevent the collapse of the country’s banks and its potential exit from the euro. If not, then some of Greece’s eurozone partners raised the spectre of a temporary Greek exit from Europe’s single currency, which Greece has been a member of since 2002. It’s unclear what a temporary exit from the eurozone would entail. No country has ever left the joint currency, and there is no mechanism in place for one to do so. The Greek government is keen to avoid that fate and has indicated its preference to sign a deal at Sunday’s emergency summit of the 19 leaders of the eurozone despite what it considers to be extremely harsh conditions. The leaders, who have been in closed-door talks since 5 p.m. (1500 GMT; 11 a.m. EDT), have vowed to keep talking until something concrete can emerge. They were presented with a set of proposals from the eurozone’s top official, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who said the sides have “come a long way” after two days of talks among finance ministers. The final effort on “some big issues,” would be left to the leaders, Dijsselbloem said. A Greek government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the ongoing talks, said European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has warned eurozone finance ministers that Greek banks are at risk and that the need for a deal is pressing. Without the prospect of a deal, the ECB won’t be able to increase emergency liquidity assistance to Greek banks. It has frozen its help over the past couple of weeks as the banks have stayed closed. The fear is that by Monday the banks may have exhausted all their cash reserves, which could spark financial chaos. Greece has asked Europe’s bailout

day’s summit meeting. “Nerves are tense.” Highlighting the differences within the creditors’ camp, French President Francois Hollande insisted it was vital to keep Greece in the currency club and avoid a so-called “Grexit.” If Greece had to leave the euro currency “it’s Europe that would go backward,” Hollande said. “And that I do not want.” France is considered Greece’s closest ally and even helped Tsipras prepare the reform proposals that were a minimum requirement for getting fresh talks. Finnish Finance Minister Alexander Stubb, one of Greece’s most outspoken critics, said a package of proposals sent to the leaders involved three key elements, including the Greek parliament’s passing of a series of unspecified laws by Wednesday. If these conditions are met, then talks with Europe’s bailout fund can proceed, Stubb said. “We have surely taken a good leap forward,” Stubb said. The eurozone ministers have to give their blessing to Greece’s bailout request to the European Stability Mechanism. Traditionally, eurozone ministers agree by mutual consensus, though in exceptional circumstances a unanimous vote may not be needed. Greece has received two previous bailouts totalling 240 billion euros ($268 billion) in return for deep spending cuts, tax increases and reforms from successive governments. Although the country’s annual budget deficit has come down dramatically, Greece’s debt burden has increased as the economy has shrunk by a quarter. The Greek government has made getting some form of debt relief a priority and hopes that a comprehensive solution will involve European creditors at least agreeing to delayed repayments or lower interest rates. Greek debt stands at around 320 billion euros ($357 billion) — a staggering 180 per cent or so of the country’s annual GDP. Few economists think that debt will ever fully repaid. Last week, the International Monetary Fund said a restructuring of debt was necessary for Greece.

Walking Dead spinoff rises at Comic-Con SAN DIEGO — The Walking Dead franchise is going on a bender. The upcoming spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead, premiered during Comic-Con after a panel that introduced the cast of the new zombie apocalypse drama to 6,500 fans. “It starts as a family drama, and we filter the apocalypse through that,” executive producer Dave Erickson told the audience Friday in Hall H, the largest venue at the San Diego Convention Center. Fear the Walking Dead is serving as a prequel to the hugely popular Walking Dead series and will be examining how the zombie apocalypse started in Los Angeles. The AMC companion show takes place during the weeks that Walking Dead protagonist Rick Grimes was in a coma outside Atlanta in that show’s first episode. The cast and crew of Fear the Walking Dead” were on hand for the inviteonly screening of the first episode at Reading Cinemas. The initial installment centred on guidance counsellor Madison (played by Kim Dickens) and her recently divorced partner Travis (Cliff Curtis) seeking help for her heroin-addicted

son Nick (Frank Dillane), who recently woke up to discover that his girlfriend had apparently become undead. “We, the audience, know something they don’t know from watching The Walking Dead,’ AMC President Charlie Collier said before the screening. “We know the looming dangers ahead. These characters are going to have to figure it out.” The moody first installment focused far less on the flesh-eating action depicted in The Walking Dead and more on emotional tensions between family members, including Madison’s savvy daughter Alicia Clark (Alycia DebnamCarey), as they coped with Nick’s addiction. After the screening, the Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead casts mingled together at an after-party inside a re-creation of the condemned church where that first walker — the franchise’s preferred term for zombies —is glimpsed. The Walking Dead, which originated as a graphic novel, has become a staple of Comic-Con, the four-day celebration of pop culture that continues through Sunday. Fear the Walking Dead is set to debut Aug. 23.

LONDON — The Royal Opera House says Canadian-born opera singer John Vickers, nicknamed “God’s tenor” for his voice and his Christian beliefs, has died. He was 88. The opera cited a statement from Vickers’ family, which said he died Friday after a struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Vickers studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto and made his Royal Opera debut in 1957. A year later, he performed at Germany’s Bayreuth festival, becoming one of the world’s leading Wagnerian performers, acclaimed as Siegmund in Die Walkuere. From 1960, he was a regular at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, where his signature roles included the lead in Benjamin Britten’s Peter Grimes. Vickers retired in 1988. He is survived by a sister, five children, 11 grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.

Universal’s Minion’s takes No. 1 spot at weekend box office with $115.2M LOS ANGELES — Universal’s Minions overran the box office on the weekend as audiences in the U.S. and Canada shelled out an estimated $115.2 million to see the evil-master-serving horde frolic on the big screen. It was an easy win for the sidekicks who took the spotlight after playing supporting roles in two previous Despicable Me movies. The bright, babbling baldies have become key characters in the franchise from Universal’s Illumination Entertainment. Directed by Peter Coffin, who codirected the Despicable Me 1 and 2 and

voices the Minions, the movie easily beat Jurassic World, another Universal picture that grossed $18.1 million in its fifth weekend after release, according to box office tracker Rentrak. Disney’s Inside Out came in third with $17.1 million in its fourth weekend.

Tony-winner Roger Rees, dies at 71 NEW YORK — Roger Rees, the lanky Tony Award-winning Welsh-born actor and director who made his mark onstage as Nicholas Nickleby and later played English multi-millionaire Robin Colcord on the TV show Cheers, has died. He was 71. Rees died Friday night at his home in New York after a brief illness, said his representative, Rick Miramontez. Rees had abruptly left The Visit on Broadway in late May to undergo a medical procedure. “The world has lost a great actor, gentleman and soul,” said Chita Rivera, Rees’ co-star in The Visit. ”I have lost a beautiful new friend, one I was looking forward to spending exciting valuable time with.“ Rees played the snobbish Robin Colcord on TV’s Cheers — he was known for his condescending remarks and rivalry with Sam Malone and for dating Rebecca Howe — and the British ambassador, Lord John Marbury, in The West Wing. Other recent TV credits include Elementary and The Good Wife. But he was probably best known onstage for playing the title character in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s original production of Charles Dickens’ The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby in England and on Broadway. He won an Olivier Award and then a Tony. When it was adapted to TV, he earned an Emmy Award nomination. He earned two further Tony nomi-

Harrison Ford gives advice to young Star Wars cast members:

CAIRO — Egyptian movie star Omar Sharif has been buried in Cairo following a quiet funeral attended by family and several actors. The Egyptian-born actor soared to international stardom in two epics, Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, the former of which earned him a supporting-actor Oscar nomination. Sharif died of a heart attack in a Cairo hospital on Friday at the age of 83. Mourners gathered for funeral prayers at the Hussein Tantawi Mosque in south Cairo and buried the star at theEl Shafie Cemetery later Sunday.

SAN DIEGO — Harrison Ford says the young actors in the new Star Wars movie need to prepare themselves for both the light and dark sides of fame. “It’s too late for them. I mean, it’s over. Life as they knew it is no longer possible,” he said. “You’ve checked in for the biggest . ride there ever was.” The 72-year-old actor appeared alongside fellow Star Wars veterans Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher at Comic-Con Friday for a presentation on the anticipated seventh installment in the space saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Director JJ Abrams and new members of the Star Wars family, including Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Domhnall Gleeson and Daisy Ridley, were also on hand. Ford said he told Ridley, “Your life will change and you will get used to it.” “You will be by turns happy and delighted and employed, and then you’ll wonder what the hell happened, every once in a while,” he said. “... The natural state of an actor is to observe life around them. And now you have to figure out how to do that when all anybody is looking at is you.” The Force Awakens is set to hit theatres in December.

WASHINGTON — Over the past seven months, as sexual misconduct allegations against Bill Cosby mounted, a top Smithsonian official met privately with museum directors across the sprawling complex on the National Mall to decide what to do about an exhibit showcasing Cosby’s private art collection. While many companies and universities were distancing themselves from the comedian, Smithsonian officials ultimately concluded the exhibit should continue. “First and fundamentally, this is an art exhibit,” Richard Kurin, the Smithsonian’s undersecretary for art, history and culture told The Associated Press. “So it’s not about the life and career of Bill Cosby. It’s about the artists.” About a third of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art’s 50th anniversary exhibition came from Bill and Camille Cosby’s extensive African-American art collection, and twothirds came from the museum’s own collection. Most of the Cosby collection had never before been seen by the public. It includes paintings by one-time slaves, pieces commissioned for the Cosbys, a piece by Cosby’s daughter and quilts made in tribute to Cosby and his slain son, Ennis. The exhibit also includes images of Cosby and quotations from him. Even without the assault allegations, the exhibit raised concerns. Some critics frown on showcasing a private collection in a prominent museum because it can enhance the artwork’s market value. Also, Camille Cosby sits on the museum’s board and initiated the loan, which raises questions about conflicts of interest. Now the Smithsonian has revealed to The Associated Press that the Cosbys also funded the exhibition with a $716,000 gift, which virtually covers the entire cost. Museum industry guidelines call for museums to make public the source of funding when an art

lender funds an exhibit, but the Smithsonian did not reveal Cosby’s financial gift until Friday, even though the exhibit opened in November. Noah Kupferman, an art market expert at Shapiro Auctions who has taught about the economics of fine art, said such financial arrangements are not unprecedented, but museums must be transparent about them. “It just raises a little eyebrow that a trustee of a museum is lending (her) own collection, funding part of the exhibition and the exhibition is highlighting works ... by less well-known artists whose work is considered by some to be undervalued,” he said. “Repositioning these artists’ works as suddenly important could have significant positive effect on their economic value.” The exhibit has drawn 150,000 visitors so far, according to the Smithsonian. A promotion for the exhibit is prominently displayed on Cosby’s website even as his reputation has collapsed in recent months amid accusations of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women. Many of the woman alleged that he drugged and raped them. Cosby, who turns 78 on Sunday, has never been charged with a crime. He has denied some accusations, while declining to comment or respond to others. Court documents obtained by The Associated Press revealed Cosby admitted under oath that he obtained quaaludes to give to women with whom he wanted to have sex. In response to the admission, Walt Disney World removed a statue of Cosby. Bounce TV and Centric networks stopped re-running “The Cosby Show,” and some civil rights leaders called for Cosby’s star to be removed from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A sexual assault awareness group has petitioned the White House to revoke Cosby’s Presidential Medal of Freedom. Some art critics have called for the Smithsonian to stop showcasing Cosby’s art collection. The museum director, Johnnetta Cole, declined to discuss the exhibit.
