SENIOR CARE

Workers decry contract delay

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Frustrated with stalled contract talks, some 150 senior care workers gathered at a lunchtime rally in Calgary on Wednesday.

AUPE workers at Bethany CollegeSide and Bethany Sylvan Lake were among the crowd that protested their employer’s decision to postpone the mediated bargaining until late-September.

The talks were originally scheduled to happen in July.

Lena Hartel, held high above the spray of the water by her father, TJ Hartel, laughs as they reach the bottom of the Collicutt Centre’s waterslide on Wednesday morning. With gloomier weather and rainy conditions outside, many Red Deerians headed to the city’s indoor pools.

As outdoor parks go, a new one in Red Deer will sound unlike any other one in Alberta.

The Kiwanis Harmony Garden at Kerry Wood Nature Centre is going to be a fully accessible space where anyone can try their musicality out in natural surroundings.

“It’s very, very cool,” said Todd Nivens, programs co-ordinator for Waskasoo Environmental Education Society.

The garden, which is to open on Oct. 2, will have a variety of permanent percussion instruments in an 1,100-sq.ft outdoor area at the nature centre.

Divas 2.0 rises from wreckage of demolished hair salon

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Seven months after a wayward driver turned her hair salon into an unwanted drive-through, Jessica Baker is back in business.

Divas Hair Boutique was opened for customers again on Tuesday, almost exactly seven months since she was phoned on Jan. 6 and told that a woman had lost control of her car on nearby Riverview Drive and slammed through the front of the business she had run for more than five years.

The front of the shop next to Burger Boy at 6007 54th Avenue was completely demolished. Adding to the devastation was an overnight temperature of -35 C, which froze and fractured water pipes and hair product containers.

Cleanup and repairs were expected

to take weeks, but insurance and permitting red tape delayed the project.

Fortunately in the meantime, Baker and her staff were offered space at Red Room Salon at 80 Donlevy Ave., a helping hand for which she is deeply grateful.

On Wednesday, Baker was thrilled with her new and improved shop, which she jokingly dubs Divas 2.0.

“I feel absolutely ecstatic,” she said.

“My girls are beyond ecstatic,” she says, referring to her five staff.

Bringing back Divas from the wreckage proved a daunting task for Jessica and husband and co-owner Ben. “It was a huge ordeal,” she said.

Eventually, Ben and his brother Jesse, owner of Terra Firma Concrete Services, rolled up their sleeves and rebuilt the shop themselves.

BRIEFS

RCMP hunting for suspects in electronics theft More than $3,000 in electronics was stolen from The Source including memory cards and rechargeable external battery cases.

On July 22, the two men entered one of the Source locations in Red Deer at about 8 p.m.

Red Deer RCMP said they made off with about $3,000 worth of electronics including 16 Mophie Juice Packs (rechargeable external battery cases) in various colours designed for iPhones and several SanDisk Micro SD cards.

Police describe the first suspect as a black male with a slim build. He wore square-rimmed glasses, a grey hoodie with an orange Ralph Lauren logo, black pants, black and grey shoes and a grey and blue hat.

The second suspect is described by police as a black male with a slim build. He wore a black bandana, grey T-shirt, khaki shorts and red and black shoes. He carried a black and grey duffle bag.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www. tipsubmit.com.

RCMP asking for public help in case of missing woman found dead in woods CALMAR — Mounties are asking for tips to help them trace the last steps of a young woman found dead south of Edmonton.

RCMP say an autopsy has determined that 22-year-old Mackenzie Leah Harris of Camrose was the victim of a homicide.

Insp. Gibson Glavin says the woman was last heard from Saturday in Leduc and a friend reported her missing later that day.

Her body was discovered Monday in a wooded area in the nearby town of Calmar.

Glavin says Harris was last seen at the Aileen Faller Park in Leduc.

Investigators want to talk to anyone who may have seen or heard anything unusual at the park late Friday or early Saturday.

“That — to this point in the investigation — appears to be where we can last confirm her as being alive,” Glavin said Wednesday.

He wouldn’t reveal more details about the death, but RCMP have said the case is not related to four historical homicides they are investigating in the area.

Calgary walloped by high winds, hail, heavy rain for second straight day CALGARY — For the second straight day, Calgary has been walloped by a storm bringing high winds, heavy rains and plenty of hail.

There was no time to clean up from the storm on Tuesday that flooded underpasses and intersections, ripped the roof off an apartment complex and downed trees and power lines throughout the city.

It all happened again on Wednesday, prompting city officials to open the Emergency Operations Centre for a few hours in ordered to bring together needed resources.

The emergency plan was deactivated by about 7 p.m. as the storm started to weaken.

However, the city reported that at the height of Wednesday’s storm, 911 had to deal with 800 calls and the city was asking people to stay indoors, away from manhole covers and not drive though large puddles.

Petition calling for review of Rocky council with province

BY ADVOCATE STAFF Those calling for an inquiry into how the Town of Rocky Mountain House is being run will know soon whether their petition is valid.

The province appointed a chief administrative officer to review the petition received on July 20 calling for government intervention to determine if it has enough signatures. A report on the sufficiency of the petition must be delivered to the municipal affairs minister within 30 days.

To be valid, a petition must be signed by at least 20 per cent of the electorate — 1,460 names in Rocky.

“Town council is looking forward to advancing the petition process and having the opportunity to respond to the public’s questions and concerns,” says the town in a news release issued on Wednesday.

“Town council continues to be open to public questions and feedback regarding any town business, including the Main Street and the Recreation Complex projects.”

Rocky businessman and spokesman for the petition group Dale Shippelt has said many are concerned about how council is managing the town’s finances along with general dissatisfaction with how the town is being run.

Some are concerned about how the multi-million redevelopment of the town’s main street and an expensive overhaul of recreation facilities have been handled.

The petition asked the province to review the management of the town, distribution of town funds, conduct of members of council, governance with a focus on potential conflicts of interest, abuse of power and positions by some council members, and council’s consideration of the community’s welfare and interests as a whole.

STORIES FROM A1

CONTRACT: Not in place since June 2014 Erez Raz, AUPE vice-president, said the employees have been without a contract since June 2014.

He said the rate of pay and working conditions for the employees is below industry standards.

“A lot of these employees are going elsewhere because they can get Alberta standards rate of pay for a health-care aide or LPN somewhere else,” said Raz. “It’s like a revolving door.”

Raz said the quality of care for residents suffer without an agreement that can attract and retain staff.

The union is in negotiations with Bethany Care Society for the seven facilities in central and southern Alberta.

AUPE represents roughly 1,100 employees including about 100 licensed practical nurses and healthcare aides at CollegeSide and about 80 nursing staff at Bethany Sylvan Lake.

“We are ready to go back to the table,” said Raz. “At the end of the day I don’t think anybody wants to be in contract talks longer than you have to.”

Bethany CollegeSide has 112 long-term care beds and nearby CollegeSide Gardens has 108 beds at supportive living levels 1 and 2.

The union also launched a website, www.FairnessForBethany.com, encouraging residents to send a letter to their MLA about the importance of a fair contract for the employees.

Bethany Care Society was unavailable for comment on Wednesday afternoon. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

GARDEN: Edible fence There will be a mixture of tuned percussion, hand percussion and mallet playable percussion instruments.

The fencing that will separate from the parking lot will be tuned percussion pipes. There’s also a marimba, xylophone, and soaring amadinda (like a vertical xylophone) and then an assortment of handplayable and mallet-playable drums, said Nivens.

Instruments will be mounted on pressure-treated wood, or steel posts, depending on the instrument.

Nivens became aware of the harmony garden idea when he took his children to one in Utah a few years ago. They played in it for hours. Park interpreters played musical hide and seek for example, where

WEDNESDAY Lotto 649: 8, 23, 29, 34, 35, 48, Bonus 36

they played a sound and children had to go to one of the instruments and see if they could replicate it.

In another instance, the children tried to replicate sounds they hear in nature.

It’s a nice coming together of guided interpretive learning as well as musical free play, he said. “It ties into that music as being one of the common languages of learning.”

Currently musicians and others are training the nature centre’s interpreters on how to teach music theory. A high school percussion ensemble is going to try and play a tune on the park instruments on opening day.

The accessible interactive music play space will be adjacent to the Imagination Grove nature-based playground, east of the parking lot. It will have a special surface so anyone who has mobility issues or some physical challenges, or uses power wheelchairs or scooters, will be able to get into and use the space. Grass will grow up through the surface so it will be an accessible surface that doesn’t look like one, said Nivens.

The fence around the space will be edible, including Saskatoon and raspberry shrubs, he said.

“Not only can you play in the park but you can eat the park.”

The cost of the garden is $140,000. The Kiwanis Club of Red Deer and the Twilight Homes Foundation have partnered and will fund the entire park, if

National drug plan not a cure-all prescription drug insurance coverage.

While the levels of coverage vary by province, lower-income Canadians have access to at least catastrophic insurance for prescription drugs (limiting out-of-pocket costs to a small percentage of income), while those on social assistance have coverage at very low or zero cost.

In provinces where data indicates that certain groups of vulnerable Canadians may be slipping through the cracks, premiers should focus on identifying and supporting those individuals. This would be more productive than passing the buck and calling for a national plan that subsidizes everyone, including those who don’t need financial support.

The second misconception is that Canada runs the only universal healthcare system that does not also offer coverage for pharmaceuticals. While several countries with universal health-care systems do indeed provide coverage for pharmaceuticals through government-run programs (such as the United Kingdom and Australia), many others (such as Switzerland and the Netherlands) provide universal access

BACCHUS BARUA SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Calls for a government-operated national drug insurance program have been getting louder over the past few months, culminating most recently with premiers from across the country signing a “prescription” for national drug coverage.

While there may indeed be legitimate concerns regarding the affordability of prescription drugs for certain groups, the notion that a national government-run drug plan is the obvious solution is misguided.

Such calls are typically predicated on two false premises.

The first is that low-income individuals and vulnerable groups do not have coverage for prescription drugs.

While there isn’t a uniform national drug plan for such groups, there are several individually tailored provincial plans. In fact, a recent review of provincial drug programs reveals that low-income and other vulnerable Canadians already have comprehensive

for all health-care services (including pharmaceuticals) through private insurers.

These countries require individuals to pay community-rated premiums, deductibles, and co-payments. Lowincome citizens and those exposed to high drug costs receive premium discounts, cost-sharing exemptions, and access to other public safety nets.

Therefore, while it’s true that other universal health-care systems provide coverage for pharmaceuticals, not all of them provide such coverage through national government-run insurance plans.

Further, as mentioned previously, provincial governments in Canada already offer coverage for pharmaceuticals — but target such coverage toward individuals who need it most.

Finally, there is the tacit promise that a government-operated national drug insurance program will expand access to pharmaceuticals for all Canadians — without hitting their wallets.

But research has shown that government drug plans in Canada generally reimburse fewer and older drugs in comparison to private plans. If that’s

any indication of what a national drug plan may look like, middle- and higher-income Canadians would likely be worse off in terms of choice.

The touted cost-savings to government from a national drug plan are based on optimistic assumptions about better bulk purchasing agreements and generic substitution, which may not hold true.

Without specifically identifying what a so-called national drug program will cover and cost, proponents are essentially asking for a blank cheque for an undefined product. Importantly, if lower-income Canadians are already covered by provincial plans, and middle- and higher-income Canadians can access private plans (or pay out of pocket), it begs the question: Who really benefits from the establishment of such a program?

It’s entirely possible that we may simply end up paying more money for fewer choices to primarily subsidize the drug consumption of people who don’t need subsidies.

Income inequality difficult to define

BY CHRIS SARLO SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE You can hardly find a current affairs magazine, newspaper or television program that has not dealt with income inequality recently. In December 2013, U.S. President Barack Obama called America’s growing income gap “the defining challenge of our time.”

Whether the income gap is a problem or a “challenge” is something for another column. However, the question of whether the income gap, at least in Canada, is indeed growing is something I wish to address here.

In a new study for the Fraser Institute, I and my colleagues examine the measurement of income inequality and how changes in the definition of income or the definition of the income recipient can have a major impact on the results. Indeed, and this is a principal finding of the study, we found that after-tax income inequality for individuals has actually declined over the past three decades for which we have publicly available data.

It is important to explain why differences in income definition and in income recipient matters.

A great many studies of income inequality focus on “earnings” — the wages and salaries that employed people receive and any net income from small busi-

ness (non-corporate) enterprises. The problem with earnings is that, today, we have proportionately more people with zero earnings than was the case three decades ago. Despite the fact that there are more two-earner families, we also have more seniors with no earnings; more students living on their own (with no earnings); and more government transfer (i.e. welfare) recipients with little or no earnings. The more people with zero earnings, the greater the measured level of inequality. As well, the more million dollar earners (business, sports and entertainment superstars), the greater is measured inequality.

So we weren’t surprised to see greater earnings inequality. From 1982 to 2010, earnings inequality rose by 24 per cent using the widely known Gini coefficient as our indicator of inequality.

But families are smaller than they were three decades ago and this means that, on average, there are fewer people with whom to share family income. So, if we define income as after-tax income and then adjust for family size, we get a different picture. Today the income inequality of economic families has only increased by 10 per cent over the past three decades.

And, if we look at individuals (any adult with any income at all) and their after-tax (or disposable) income, we show that inequality has actually declined by four per cent over the past three decades, again using the Gini indicator.

These findings have several implications: First, they show that inequality measurements are quite sensitive to the choice of income recipient and the choice of income definition. Second, they show that if we look at individuals rather than families, income inequality has, in fact, declined a bit since the early 1980s — a result that is confirmed using American data as well.

Finally, these results suggest that caution is advisable when we look at studies of income inequality.

Dramatic differences can be obtained if we change our initial definitions and indicators.

Income inequality is a very complex matter. Substantial social and economic changes have happened over the past few decades and it would be surprising if measured inequality was not impacted as well.

The fact, however, is that it has not increased very much, if we look at economic families, or at all, if we look at individual incomes.

Of course, income inequality is not the best measure of how the living standards of Canadians change. For that, we use the goods and services that people actually consume, which is the subject of a future study on inequality to be published by the Fraser Institute.

All quiet on campaign Wall wants trail ahead of debate to take axe to

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

FEDERAL ELECTION

OTTAWA — On the eve of the first federal leaders’ debate, Canada’s campaign trail grew quiet Wednesday as the rivals prepared for their live four-way faceoff.

Two of them, however, sent campaign proxies.

Laureen Harper stepped up to fill her husband’s shoes, speaking briefly to party supporters at the campaign office for Conservative Costas Menegakis in the suburban riding of Richmond Hill.

And the NDP offered a new attack ad to fill the campaign void — a collection of doom-and-gloom business-page headlines superimposed over photos of Stephen Harper, denouncing the Tory economic record.

Indeed, the economy is expected to be front and centre during Thursday’s debate, the first opportunity for four of the five leaders to go head-to-head on a variety of key issues.

All four participants — Harper, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Green party Leader Elizabeth May — were keeping a low profile Wednesday as they took part in the time-honoured campaign ritual of “debate prep.”

Mulcair has been running through debate preparation sessions with his inner circle at a Montreal hotel all week, surfacing only Tuesday to take part in a campaign event in the riding of Mount Royal.

As a former prosecutor whose question-period inquisition of Harper at the height of the Senate scandal was a highlight of his tenure as leader, Mulcair’s performance will be under the microscope, observers say.

“I think the question is whether in the debate, he can come across in the ... prime ministerial sense, given that now that’s a real possibility for him,” said Toronto-based debate coach Shakir Rahim, who won the World Individual Debating and Public Speaking Championships two years in a row.

As is always the case for the prime minister, Harper will surely be the target of most of the attacks — a fact not lost on the Conservative team, said spokesman Kory Teneycke.

But the Tories will have attacks of their own — particularly on matters of experience and leadership.

“Attacking the prime minister is one thing,” Teneycke said Tuesday in Toronto. “What would you do if you were prime minister is another, and so I think there will be some accountability there as well. ” Teneycke said the prime minister is “quite prepared to defend” the government’s economic record, which has been under heavy fire throughout the first few days of the still-young campaign.

Trudeau will exceed expectations “if he comes on stage with his pants on,” Teneycke said — a jab to which the Liberals did not respond Wednesday.

Campaign debates always feature a heavy dose of boxing metaphors, so it’s hardly surprising that Trudeau, who famously defeated former Conservative senator Patrick Brazeau in a boxing match in 2012 — will visit a boxing gym in Toronto ahead of the event, television cameras in tow.

Mulcair, meanwhile, will pay a visit the office of NDP candidate Jennifer Hollett in the Toronto riding of University-Rosedale.

“Mr. Mulcair hopes to convey his message of change to Canadians while facing strong opponents,” said NDP principal secretary Karl Belanger, “including a very experienced prime minister and a seasoned drama teacher.”

Green party Leader Elizabeth May spent Wednesday on her own in Toronto ahead of the debate.

“I’m doing the same thing to prepare that I did in 2008, which was the only other time I was ever included in the national televised leaders’ debate,” May said in a phone interview.

“Of course, this isn’t that debate.”

May said she remains hopeful that the NDP will agree “to what we had previously agreed to, which was all the opposition parties and CBC, Radio-Canada, CTV and Global broadcasters” would go ahead with the debate in October without Harper, who has refused to participate.

MAAD P.E.I. chapter president resigns

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — The president of a Prince Edward Island chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada has resigned after being charged with impaired driving, the organization’s CEO said.

Andrew Murie said David Griffin, who was a police officer for 45 years, was charged with impaired driving in June and immediately resigned as volunteer president of MADD’s East Prince County chapter.

Murie said formal charges were laid this week.

He said he was shocked and disappointed, but also has some compassion for Griffin, who he says did great work for the organization during his three

years as president.

“He was a great volunteer. He led that chapter and was engaged with the organization,” said Murie in a phone interview from Oakville, Ont. “You couldn’t have asked for a more model volunteer.”

Murie said in his 18 years as CEO of MADD, he’s never dealt with an incident like this.

equalization program

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall wants cuts to the federal equalization program, suggesting some of the have-not provinces are getting too much money that could be better spent elsewhere.

“It is a lot of money to go out in a way that seems to be dated and not always efficient, and infrastructure and tax relief might be an option instead,” Wall said Wednesday.

Wall said he simply wants a dialogue on changing the federally funded, constitutionally guaranteed program, which sees more than $17 billion a year given to poorer provinces.

He touted a specific option in media interviews — taking away half the program’s funding and using it for a combination of infrastructure work and tax cuts.

“Imagine what 8.5 billion to 9 billion more federal dollars could do in terms of national infrastructure,” he said. “Perhaps Canadians would rather see a split between infrastructure investment and permanent, sustainable tax relief to build the economy.”

The equalization program is designed to enable poorer provinces to offer government services at tax levels similar to richer jurisdictions.

It is based on a complex formula that assesses each province’s ability to raise its own money, and brings poorer provinces up to the national average.

Wall, who leads the right-leaning Saskatchewan Party, said he hoped the federal election campaign would be a good time to open debate on the topic.

Manitoba NDP Premier Greg Selinger responded Wednesday by saying the equalization program benefited Saskatchewan until 2008, when the province joined the “have” provinces partly due to rising energy and mining revenues.

“It allowed them to educate their citizens. It allowed them to build hospitals and schools and roads, and other provinces should have the same benefits that Saskatchewan had.”

Rebels make pair of moves ACQUIRE LANE PEDERSON, RIGHTS TO BRANDON HICKEY

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE It may be the middle of summer, but Red Deer Rebels owner/GM/head coach Brent Sutter isn’t sitting around with his feet up.

Sutter made a pair of moves Wednesday, which he hopes adds depth to his blueline and up front.

Sutter acquired the rights to 19-yearold defenceman Brandon Hickey from the Tri-City Americans for a fifth round draft pick in 2016 and a pair of conditional picks, then added 18-yearold forward Lane Pederson and a fifth-round draft pick in 2017 from the Seattle Thunderbirds for 18-year-old goaltender Taz Burman.

The six-foot-two, 190-pound Hickey, who was a third-round draft pick by the Calgary Flames in 2014, played last season for Boston University in Hockey East, finishing with six goals, 11 assists and 18 penalty minutes in 41 games.

The previous two seasons he was with the Spruce Grove Saints of the AJHL. “Brandon is a top-end player, a top-end defenceman,” said Sutter, who won’t know until he talks with the Leduc native if he will be interested Brandon Hickey in joining the Rebels.

“It was an opportunity to pick up a very good hockey player for a reasonable price,” added Sutter, who will lose he fifth-round selection even if Hickey doesn’t sign with the Rebels.

“It was a situation where we got the opportunity to get his rights. Without them we have no chance to talk with him.”

Sutter has talked with his parents, the Calgary Flames and Hockey Canada.

Hickey is in Calgary attending the U20 camp as part of the Hockey Canada Summer Showcase.

“It depends on what Hockey Canada thinks of him, but in the past it was difficult for a player from the NCAA to make the Canadian (junior) team because they don’t play the number of games the kids in junior do,” said Sutter. “If he was in Red Deer it would give him a chance to play those extra games. But we’ll see.”

Sutter won’t talk with Hickey until at least today, and likely later, as he played for Team Canada against the Russians Wednesday.

“I don’t want to bother him while he’s playing, but we’ll sit down after and see where it goes,” said the veteran coach. “We’ll let him know where we’re at and where we think he fits in with the team. I know he liked his year at Boston University and he had a good year. I don’t know any more than that at this point.

“But as I said we Lane Pederson now have an opportunity to talk with him and possibly add him to the roster.”

Pederson played last season with the Thunderbirds, finishing with eight goals and 12 assists in 63 games. But

those totals may be deceiving.

“He started the year on their fourth line and slowly moved up,” said Sutter.

“The first half he didn’t get a lot of playing time but the second half he played well. He finished with 20 points, not bad considering he was behind several guys and didn’t get as much playing time.

“Our scouts liked what they saw. He also attended the Anaheim (NHL) camp and they liked him a lot.

“He is a good two-way player and we felt it was a good opportunity to add to our forward depth and add a player who could be around for a couple of years.”

The six-foot-one, 195-pound Pederson is a native of Saskatoon and played two seasons with the Saskatoon Blazers midget AAA team, In 2012-13 he had 14 goals and 21 assists in 38 games, then added 21 goals and 20 helpers in 37 games the following season.

Burman leaves the Rebels after two seasons as backup goaltender. He posted a 3.85 goalsagainst-average and an .884 save percentage in 17 games during his rookie season and a 3.08 and .890 marks in 21 games last year.

Sutter felt he would likely be a backup again this season.

“It was tough to trade Taz, but it Taz Burman would have been tough on him to come back for a third year as backup.

That wasn’t fair to him and with Seattle looking for a goaltender to be a starter it’s good for him to get that chance.”

Rebels starter Rylan Toth (2.84, .904) will be back with Trevor Martin looking to grab a backup spot along with 16-year-old Dawson Weatherill.

Sutter has been attending the Summer Showcase and got an opportunity to watch forward Michael Spacek, who they picked up in this year’s import draft.

The 18-year-old from the Czech Republic was a fourth-round draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets.

“I liked what I saw ... he’s very talented and skilled and he’ll definitely help us.”

Sutter also said he has a signed international transfer contract and Spacek will be in camp.

While the latest moves add depth and talent to the roster, Sutter may not be finished as he continues to work on the roster in preparation for the WHL season and hosting the Memorial Cup. “We’re comfortable but if we find a move that will make us better we’ll definitely look at it,” he said. drode@reddeeradvocate.

Riders in tough against Argos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

File photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

Adarius Bowman (4) of the Edmonton Eskimos is taken to the ground by Terrell Maze (20) of the Saskatchewan Roughriders during second half CFL action in Edmonton on Friday July 31, 2015. The Eskimos play the B.C. Lions on Thursday.

Lions host red-hot Eskimos

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions took a long look in the mirror this week.

Coming off a pair of performances where they jumped out to early leads only to falter badly in demoralizing losses, a measure of inner reflection was needed before getting back on the practice field.

“There was a lot of soul searching to make sure that we’re together,” said Lions head coach Jeff Tedford. “The guys have been really close and working really hard and pushing one another and are really excited to have another opportunity.”

That opportunity comes Thursday when the Lions (2-3) host the red-hot Edmonton Eskimos (4-1) to kick off Week 7 of the CFL season.

B.C. jumped out to an early 7-0 lead last Thursday on the road against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers thanks to a methodical 14-play, 95-yard touchdown drive, but managed just six points the rest of the way in a 23-13 loss.

That defeat came on the heels of stunning collapse on July 24 when the Lions led 21-0 at home against Toronto, only to see the advantage evaporate in a 30-27 Argonauts victory.

The Lions have still yet to put together four solid quarters this season — their only two victories are over the winless Saskatchewan Roughriders

— and know they need a much better effort to have a chance of stopping an Edmonton team that has won four straight by an average of 23.5 points.

“We’ve recovered well this week. I do think the confidence is good,” said Lions quarterback Travis Lulay, who threw three interceptions against Winnipeg and has been taking most of the heat for his team’s eight-ranked offence. “We know we have a great challenge.”

One of the big problems for the Lions in 2015 has been an inability to get back on track quickly when things don’t go their way — something the players said they’re aware of and trying to correct.

“You can feel momentum. It’s a very real thing,” said Lulay. “There’s ebbs and flows to every single game. The best games I’ve ever played in there’s been negative plays or drives. You have to find a way to overcome those.”

One constant for the Lions has been the play of running back Andrew Harris, who leads the CFL in rushing and is also his team’s second-leading receiver.

“He’s an awful good player,” Eskimos head coach Chris Jones told reporters in Edmonton this week. “He runs with authority, he catches the ball out of the backfield, he’s faster than you think he is.”

To get back to .500, B.C. will have to break through against a stout Edmon-

ton defence that is ranked first overall in yards allowed per game, first against the pass, and second against the run. The Eskimos own a leaguehigh 17 sacks and have held opponents out of the end zone over the last two games, surrendering just eight points during that span.

“They’re just going out and dominating,” said Lions defensive back Ryan Phillips. “That’s really what it just boils down to.”

Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols, who’s been handed the keys to the offence in place of the injured Mike Reilly, hasn’t had to put up big numbers because of his team’s defensive prowess so far this season. He will face a B.C. defence that was dominant as recently as last season, but sits last overall in yards allowed per game, last against the pass and last against the run.

“You’re judged by your performance week in and week out,” said Phillips.

“It’s not what you did for me yesterday.

Guys have to step up to the plate.”

That feeling is shared by the rest of his teammates, with Lulay insisting the belief in the Lions’ locker-room remains high as B.C. looks to get back on track.

“We’ve seen what we’re capable of,” said the quarterback. “I do feel like the vibes are good. We just have to go out and make it happen.”

Not much has gone according to plan this season for Corey Chamblin and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Riders (0-6) are last in the West Division and remain the CFL’s only winless team. That’s created much speculation regarding the future of Chamblin, who led Saskatchewan to the 2013 Grey Cup title, but has also forced the club to alter its plans regarding the development of its younger players. This week, Chamblin announced veteran receiver Jamel Richardson, 33, was no longer with the team and it was time to give some younger players the chance to play.

“When you’re 0-6, it’s time to see what you have,” Chamblin told reporters. “Our plan was the vets hold us in the first nine (games of season) and let those rookies get a chance to grow.

“Well, it came a little earlier than the first nine.”

Richardson re-signed with Saskatchewan this off-season after missing roughly 18 months recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament in his left knee suffered in 2013 with the Montreal Alouettes.

The six-foot-five, 215-pound Richardson began his CFL career with the Riders, playing four seasons with them before heading to the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp in 2007.

Richardson returned to the CFL the following season with the Als, helping them win consecutive Grey Cups (2009-10) and being named the MVP of the second championship contest.

Richardson had a league-record 12 100-yard games in 2011 when he registered 112 catches for 1,777 yards (tops among receivers) with 11 TDs. This season, Richardson has 19 catches for 266 yards and no TDs. The Riders are on the road Saturday night visiting the Toronto Argonauts (3-2), who’ll play their first game at Rogers Centre this season. Injuries to veterans Darian Durant and Kevin Glenn have left the Riders with rookie Brett Smith at quarterback. Smith was 17-of-27 passing for 144 yards with two interceptions in his CFL debut, a 30-5 road loss last week to the Edmonton Eskimos (4-1). Edmonton’s Matt Nichols was 27-of-39 passing for 300 yards and two TD strikes versus a Saskatchewan defence ranked last in points allowed (32.5 per game) and second-last in passing yards (286.3). Toronto boasts the CFL’s top aerial attack (313.2 yards per game). Quarterback Trevor Harris threw for 326 yards and a TD (giving him a league-high 12 on the season) in the Argos’ 34-18 road loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Monday night. Harris has completed 133-of-179 passes (74.3 per cent) for 1,503 yards this season to stand second only to Calgary’s Bo Levi Mitchell (1,622).

Bautista’s grand slam leads Jays to win

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Blue Jays 9 Twins 7 TORONTO — Jose Bautista hit a grand slam in the second inning and the Toronto Blue Jays held on for a 9-7 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion also hit home runs for Toronto (57-52), which has won four straight to strengthen its hold on the second wild card in the American League and keep pace with the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

The Blue Jays have homered in 17 of 18 games since the all-star break and have hit multiple home runs in 10 of those games.

Drew Hutchison (10-2) struck out five over five innings of work but gave up seven runs — three of them earned — on seven hits. Liam Hendriks, Brett Cecil and Mark Lowe pitched a scoreless inning of relief each before LaTroy Hawkins came in to earn his first save with Toronto.

Designated hitter Miguel Sano had two hits and three runs batted in for Minnesota (54-53), which has dropped three games in a row. Tyler Duffey (0-1) struggled in his Major League debut, giving up six runs on five hits in just two innings of work. Five relievers came in for the Twins after Duffey was pulled from the mound.

Donaldson made an impressive catch in the first inning, stabbing a line drive by Brian Dozier out of the air for the first out of the game.

Minnesota took a 3-0 lead immediately after Donaldson’s strong defensive play.

Sano drove in leadoff man Aaron Hicks with a double that advanced Joe Mauer to third. Trevor Plouffe then cleared the bases with a double of his own.

Donaldson brought Toronto to within a run with a home run to deep left field, driving in Troy Tulowitzki. It was Donaldson’s sixth homer in 10 games and 29th of the season, tying a career high.

Minnesota Twins’ Trevor Plouffe is out at second as he is caught leaning off by Toronto Blue Jays’ Troy Tulowitzki during first inning AL baseball action in Toronto on Wednesday.

Bautista gave the Blue Jays a 6-3 lead in the second inning with a towering grand slam to left field.

The bases had been loaded after Ryan Goins and Kevin Pillar had singles and Donaldson walked.

It was the fifth grand slam of Bautista’s career.

Encarnacion added to Toronto’s lead with his 20th home run of the season, a three-run shot that brought home Ben Revere and Bautista. Revere was on base after his first hit since joining the Blue Jays on July 31. Bautista was aboard after a walk.

The Twins climbed back in to the game with a

four-run fifth inning.

Hicks hit an RBI double to left field to make it 9-5. Sano then launched a home run to centre field, bringing home Mauer and cutting Toronto’s lead to 9-7.

Those runs signalled the end of Hutchison’s night.

Minnesota got runners on second and third after Hawkins allowed back-to-back singles and the runners then advanced on a sacrifice bunt.

Toronto buckled down for the final two outs to end the rally.

Merchants ‘in a good spot’ for Western championships

BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE

JUNIOR AAA BASEBALL

INNISFAIL — The Innisfail Merchants didn’t get an opportunity to win the provincial Junior AAA Baseball League title, but they have bigger ideas.

The Merchants, who placed third in the newly formed Alberta league, with a 4-8 record, will host the five-team Western Canadian Championships, which open Friday.

“I believe we have as good a chance as anyone here,” said Merchants head coach Desmond Bouteiller, who put together a relatively new team this season.

“This was the first year where we had a full turnover,” he said. “It was a little more challenging than in the past, and it took some time to come together, but we’re in a good spot.”

As for the regular season Bouteiller felt they could have challenged South Jasper Place or the

Slave Lake Heat for a berth in the league final. Slave Lake (5-7) upset 9-3 South Jasper in the best-of-three league final.

“Because we were younger and knew we were already in the championships we’d make sure we gave everyone plenty of playing time and there were times we’d take a pitcher out just to other guys playing time. So really it worked out well.”

Bouteiller, who has been with the team’s coaching staff since the birth of the program in 2011, added several players for the championships.

“We added catcher Riley Guntrip of Camrose and a couple of arms,” he said. “As well Alex Lemieux just moved to Alberta from Quebec and he adds depth to our infield.”

PICKS: One-man show Edmonton Eskimos at B.C. Lions Cornerback Pat Watkins was a one-man show against Saskatchewan with two interceptions (one returned for a TD), a sack and team-high five tackles. Edmonton’s defence leads the CFL in sacks (17) and fewest points allowed (12.6). Andrew Harris has run for a league-high 401 yards for B.C. (2-3) but both Lions wins have come against Saskatchewan and defensively they have surrendered 400-plus yards in their last two games.

Pick — Edmonton Montreal Alouettes at Ottawa Redblacks Ottawa (3-2) hasn’t played since upsetting Calgary 29-26 on July 24. Quarterback Henry Burris threw for 389 yards and three TDs in that game and receiver Chris Williams had seven catches for 162 yards and a touchdown. The Redblacks won the first meeting of the season 20-16 as Montreal (2-3) lost both starter Jonathan Crompton and backup Dan LeFevour to injury, forcing Canadian Brandon Bridge to finish. But rookie Rakeem Cato is the Alouettes’ starter now.

Pick — Montreal Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats Hamilton (3-2) is a stellar 8-0 at Tim Hortons Field. Zach Collaros threw three TD strikes versus Toronto while the Ticats’ defence forced five turnovers — including two big third-down gambles — and Brandon Stewart scored after recovering an onside punt. Drew Willy threw two touchdown passes as Winnipeg (3-3) defeated B.C. 23-13 for its first win in three games. Darvin Adams was a favourite target with four catches for 127 yards and a touchdown.

“He was with us last year so he fits in,” said Bouteiller.

TORONTO — At twice the age of most of his rivals, Marco Dispaltro likes to think of himself as the Gordie Howe of wheelchair sports.

And to think doctors once told him he likely wouldn’t live to see 40.

The 48-year-old boccia player will carry Canada’s flag into Friday’s opening ceremony of the Parapan American Games.

He reflected Wednesday on a lifetime of scoffing at doctors, and doing things his own way.

“Gordie Howe, he’s been a legend for so many years and he played until he was 50,” Dispaltro said. “Then you look at people Chris Chelios that played hockey for a long time, Teemu Selanne. . . there’s still life for us even past 40.

“When you look at most of my competitors, they’re in their mid-20s. So for me, it’s always a motivating factor that the old guy can still perform, and keep the young wolves at bay.”

Josh Dueck, who carried Canada’s flag in the closing ceremonies at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics after skiing to gold and silver there, presented the flag to Dispaltro, wrapping it around the boccia player’s shoulders.

Dispaltro, a resident of St-Jerome, Que., was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a teenager. He took up wheelchair rugby — better known as Murderball — when he was 25, then switched to wheelchair tennis, and because of the degenerative nature of his disability, now plays boccia. He entered the 2015 season ranked No. 1 in the world in his classification.

“The doctors told me ’Marco, your life expectancy is not going to be very long,’ but I just scoffed at that,” he said.

before games, he’ll chuck balls as hard as he can at his coach. It bothers the other players.

“The other athletes are like ’What’s going on here, what’s wrong with these guys?’ You want to have that edge going into games,” he said.

He compares boccia to golf or curling.

Strategically similar to lawn bowling, boccia is played indoors on a flat, smooth surface.

The objective is to throw, kick, or use an assistive device to propel leather balls as close as possible to a white target ball known as the jack.

Dispaltro is gunning for gold after winning silver in singles at the 2011 Parapan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.

He was a bronze medallist in mixed pairs at the 2012 London Paralympics.

It’s one of 15 sports at the Games, which begin Friday and run through Aug. 15.

The Games are a rare chance for para athletes to shine on a home stage, and hopefully will inspire young Canadians with disabilities to get involved in sports, Dispaltro said.

Asked what his message would be to young people, he said: “Try stuff. For me, when I was young, people didn’t really encourage me to do stuff, I had to do stuff on my own. But for me the biggest message I have for the kids out there is just try stuff. And even if you fall a couple of times, just pick yourself up and do it again. And for the parents as well: let your kids try stuff.

Don’t be afraid.”

Some 1,600 athletes from North, Central and South America will participate in the competition, which comes on the heels of the Pan Am Games.

“I did what I wanted to do, I was passionate about it, and I’m going to keep being passionate about sports.

Even if I retire, there’s a legion of kids out there that want to play sports, and sometimes you don’t even know that it exists out there for you.”

Dispaltro said it was “happenstance” that brought him to wheelchair sports.

“I got a call, ’Why don’t you come out and watch these guys that play a contact sport?”’ he said. “’Contact sport in a wheelchair?

Come on.’ But I remember it was a December day, I opened the door and I

could see on the horizon that these guys were just smashing into each other, and I thought, ’Oh yeah, this is for me.’ It was love at first sight for me.

“The best thing that happened for me in rugby is when you hit somebody hard enough, they tumble out of their chair. So that was great, that was a great way for me to start off my sports career, because I always liked aggressive sport, and rugby was right up that alley.”

If rugby is all muscle and clanging metal, boccia is strategy and mind games, Dispaltro said. He likes to stare down his competitors. In the call room

Federal judge in Brady-Goodell case has reputation for cooling tempers NEW YORK — If there’s anybody who can take the hot air out of football’s “Deflategate,” it’s a Manhattan federal judge with a history of encouraging fast resolutions to perplexing problems. Judge Richard M. Berman quickly defined the ground rules in his first written orders after the National Football League and the NFL Players Association clashed over Commissioner Roger Goodell’s four-game suspension of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady — that settling the case is a priority, the heated rhetoric must stop, documents will be public and Goodell and Brady will have to come to court. Berman is the right judge to navigate the pressures of the Brady-Goodell showdown, said Judge William H. Pauley III, who presided over a lawsuit New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez brought against Major League Baseball last year over his suspension.

“Everybody’s under pressure, not just Tom Brady,” Pauley said. “If there’s anybody on our bench who can resolve a case, it’s Richard.”

Berman, 71, assigned randomly to the case, will preside over a hearing Aug. 12 after the league requested a judgment saying Goodell acted legally when he punished Brady after a league-sponsored investigation concluded the Patriots supplied improperly under-inflated footballs when New England topped the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 in the conference championship game. The union wants the suspension lifted, arguing that an arbitration that went against the quarterback was a sham.

Russia beats Canada 3-2 in shootout at U20 development camp CALGARY — Marat Khayrullin scored the only goal of the shootout as Russia downed the Canadian under-20 squad 3-2 on Wednesday at the national teams’ development camp.

The parties will be contending with “a famous settlement judge,” Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska said. “He’s very good at it. He understands people and the pressures on people and he’s always calm himself, never ruffled.”

Preska recalled introducing the one-time family court judge to his colleagues after his 1998 appointment to the bench by President Bill Clinton.

At the gathering of the 2nd Circuit Judicial Conference, she held up a pen that she said Berman gave lawyers when they settled cases. The pen, she noted, contained a quote from the first rule of civil procedure, which cautions that the rules should be “construed and administered to ensure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action.”

Pauley said Berman’s unusually diverse background gives him additional tools to resolve cases, whether it was time spent as a senior aide to a U.S. senator or experience as an executive of a then-fledgling cable company that became a giant: Time Warner Cable.

Berman declined a request this week to be interviewed while the NFL dispute is ongoing. He told the New York Law Journal last year that he believes the role of a judge is to “justly” and “speedily” move civil cases to conclusion.

“This means that I pursue settlement options early and often; I try to rule on motions quickly and I try not to waste any time at trial,” he said.

He also told the newspaper that he’s “somewhat of a news/TV junkie” who, if not a judge, would probably continue in the media and communications business. Berman noted he was general counsel of Warner Cable and MTV Networks Inc. when pay-per-view was

developed, the first video disc jockeys were hired and the first music videos were released.

In 17 years on the bench, Berman has faced more than the usual caseload of famous and infamous defendants and has shown a knack for brushing aside distractions to resolve underlying legal issues. When he decides someone has abused the judicial system, he can be harsh.

In 2012, he gave actor Michael Douglas’ son a break, sentencing Cameron Douglas to only five years in prison on drug charges after he co-operated with the government. But he later doubled the sentence to 10 years and scolded the son, calling him “destructive” and “manipulative” after he persuaded a lawyer-turned-love interest to sneak drugs into prison in her bra.

Perhaps his most challenging case came when Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist who trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University, was charged with shooting at FBI agents and U.S. soldiers at an Afghan police station in 2008. She punctuated her court appearances with outbursts that called her sanity and the likelihood of a trial into question. She was convicted and sentenced to 86 years in prison.

Sabrina Shroff, an assistant public defender who observed some Siddiqui proceedings, said Berman “has a knack for recognizing exactly what it takes to run a courtroom.”

“Never was this more apparent than in the trial of Aafia Siddiqui who was a very sad and troubled defendant. It was obvious he was deeply concerned about her all through the trial and his concern for her continued even after her conviction,” Shroff said.

Josh Ho-Sang picked up an assist on both goals. Rebels blueliner Haydn Fleury had an assist in the game. Brandon Hickey, whose rights the Rebels acquired Wednesday, also played in the game, but didn’t record any points.

Red Deer captain Conner Bleakley was also held pointless.

Samuel Montembeault turned away 18-of-20 shots for the Canadians, who will host the Czech Republic on Thursday to wrap up the four-game exhibition series between the three countries.

Russia went 0 for 2 on the power play as Canada scored once on four chances with the man advantage.

Canada beat Russia 4-1 on Monday and followed that up by crushing the Czech Republic 7-1 on Tuesday.

Las Vegas and Quebec City are moving on to the second of three phases in their bids to land NHL expansion franchises, the respective groups announced Wednesday.

Bill Foley, who heads the Las Vegas bid, issued a statement on his group’s website, “Vegas Wants Hockey,” that the league has invited it to advance.

Quebecor, a Montreal-based communications giant, announced on its Twitter account that its Quebec City bid is moving forward.

Foley said Phase 2 will feature bidders providing the NHL additional information regarding their respective markets and arena plans. The bidders will also gain access to certain leaguerelated information. The Las Vegas group has already secured more than 13,200 season-ticket deposits for a potential team. And there’s a multipurpose arena under construction near the Las Vegas Strip and set to open next spring. In Quebec City, the publicly funded, 18,259-seat Videotron Centre is set to open next month.

It replaces the small and outdated Colisee, which previously served home to the NHL’s Nordiques, who relocated to Colorado to become the Avalanche in 1995.

Quebecor manages and owns the naming rights to the new arena.

There is a third phase to the process, though it’s unclear when that will begin. Bids must also be approved by the NHL Board of Governors.

The NHL isn’t expected to expand until 2017-18 at the earliest. Commissioner Gary Bettman has proposed an expansion fee of $500 million.

That’s a significant jump from the $80 million fee paid by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild, when the NHL last expanded to 30 teams in 2000.

Outdoor games ‘far from being overdone’: Bettman

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — There’s no reason for the NHL not to keep holding outdoor games each season, Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday. Bettman made a promotional appearance at the University of Minnesota football stadium. That’s where the Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks will play outside Feb. 21 as part of the NHL’s Stadium Series games, which were started in 2014 to supplement the annual Winter Classic on New Year’s Day. Bettman said fans, communities and teams “cannot get enough” of the outdoor games and that “they’re far from being overdone or oversaturated.” After several years of lobbying, the Wild finally landed one for 2016.

“I told the guys as soon as it was announced, it’s something they’ll appreciate and remember forever,” said left wing Thomas Vanek, who has played in outdoor games previously with the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders.

Vanek played in college at Minnesota at Mariucci Arena, right across the street from TCF Bank Stadium where the game this winter will be held. The Gophers have played a game outside there, but the Wild

have yet to host one. The NHL has staged 14 outdoor games in the last seven years.

“I have no doubt the game will be sold out and that it will be a big deal,” Bettman said. Ticket prices for the game will range from $109 to $449.

There’ll be an alumni game held the day before the Blackhawks-Wild game featuring former players from both the Chicago and Minnesota NHL franchises, including the old North Stars. Former North Stars Brian Bellows, Dino Ciccarelli and Mike Modano were among the prominent names announced Wednesday for the Minnesota roster. The Chicago roster will include Ed Belfour, Jeremy Roenick and Denis Savard among others.

Also of note: —Bettman said his deposition in New York last week lasted nearly eight hours, as part of the concussion lawsuit brought by former players. They’ve accused the league of having the knowledge and resources to better prevent head trauma, failed to properly warn players of such risks, and promoted violent play that led to their injuries.

“We believe the lawsuit is without merit, but I’m not here today to debate in a public forum something that’s before the courts,” Bettman said.

NEWS IN BRIEF

B.C. youth soccer club suspended over allegations of financial irregularities SURREY, B.C. — Thousands of young soccer players could find themselves sidelined this season thanks to a power struggle between the adult organizers of a British Columbia league.

A pair of youth soccer associations in Surrey, B.C., have suspended the Central City Breakers Football Club while they investigate allegations of financial impropriety.

The club has 2,800 members all under 18 years old.

The Surrey Metro Soccer Association and the South District Girls’ Soccer Association said they’ve received reports that the embattled club broke the rules by funnelling money to a summer league not sanctioned by BC Soccer.

But Garry Sangha, the outgoing Central City Breakers’ executive chairman, said the interim suspension, imposed on July 27, boils down to other clubs vying for access to the area’s up-and-coming players, along with their registration dollars.

“The district is made up of competitive clubs,” he said. “So someone’s loss is always someone’s gain — it basically comes down to that.”

Expo to feature engaging changes

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Both established businesses looking to network and fledgling entrepreneurs seeking advice will find what they need at this year’s Success 4 Business Expo.

Now in its 3rd year, the Oct. 8 expo at Westerner Park’s Harvest Centre has seen a number of tweaks to provide more sit-down opportunities for local business-minded people.

Kolasa said attendees can check a list as they arrive and arrange a face-to-face meeting with sponsors or other businesses taking in the event.

“It’s a great opportunity to actually do some business,” said Kolasa, a longtime Red Deer businesswoman.

“If they see a business on that list that they have wanted to talk to, they can request a meeting with them and we would try to make that happen.”

Another addition is a private mentoring lounge, set up and decorated by Urban Barn, to provide a comfortable environment for budding entrepreneurs to learn from the success of others.

A panel of leaders is being moved to the noon hour this year.

It highlights successful business leaders in the community who have built their businesses from the ground up and gives them an opportunity to share their experiences with others.

There will be a number of other seminars throughout the day as well, and a wrap-up networking session finishes off the day-long expo.

This year’s theme is “Take Charge and Thrive” in any economy.

Taking a business to the next level involves “working on your business not only in your business,” she said.

“This is a really good opportunity to come and learn, connect with experts and resources that are available for your business, as well as network.”

Keynote speaker is Richard Carramusa of Boston Pizza Central Alberta.

A Tesla vehicle is parked at a charging station outside of the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif., on May 14, 2015. Tesla reported quarterly financial results on Wednesday.

Tesla losses triple to $184M in Q2

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Tesla Motors’ upcoming Model X SUV cast a long shadow over the company’s secondquarter results.

Tesla’s net loss nearly tripled to $184 million in the April-June period as it invested in tooling and factory capacity for the new SUV, which is scheduled to go on sale next month.

The Palo Alto, California, maker of electric cars also lowered its expectations for full-year sales because it’s not confident suppliers will be able to meet its production goals for the Model X in the fourth quarter. It now expects to sell between 50,000 and 55,000 Model S sedans and Model X SUVs this year, down from a previous target of 55,000.

“We do think that it’s going to be quite a challenging production ramp on the X,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk told analysts on a conference call Wednesday.

“We only want to deliver great cars, so we don’t want to drive to a number that’s greater than our ability to deliver high-quality vehicles.”

Tesla’s shares fell $18.13, or 6.7 per cent, to $252 in after-hours trading following the release of the earnings report.

Musk later mused that the Model X could be “the hardest car to build in the world.” Its tricky features include unique side doors that open out and upward.

Tesla sold a quarterly record 11,532 Model S electric cars in the second quarter. It said sales grew

BRIEF Barrick cuts dividend by 60 per cent, plans another billion in cost cuts TORONTO — Barrick Gold Corp. is slashing its dividend by 60 per cent and putting a number of mines up for sale in a widespread effort to further reduce its costs amid concerns about the falling price of gold.

The Toronto-based gold miner (TSX:ABX) said Wednesday it will now target spending cuts across its operations at $2 billion before the end of 2016 — a move that tacks an extra $1 billion of cuts onto a previously announced effort to lower expenses and improve productivity.

Barrick, which also reported a second-quarter

more than 50 per cent in Europe despite two price increases in the last six months, and they were up 30 per cent in the U.S. Revenue rose 24 per cent to $954.9 million.

But Tesla also increased spending on its Fremont, California, factory, which makes the Model X, and on its battery plant, which is under construction in Nevada. It’s opening five more stores in China and expanding its network of fast-charging Supercharger stations, which now total 487 globally.

Tesla has said it plans to invest $1.5 billion in capital expenditures this year.

Tesla also spent more on research and development. Among its projects is a highway autopilot system, which will keep vehicles in their lane and automatically control speed and braking on the highway. That system is due out later this year. Tesla also said its Tesla Energy home battery packs will start production in Fremont during the third quarter.

Tesla’s net loss, of $1.45 per share, was wider than the loss of 50 cents per share a year ago.

Tesla says unadjusted figures do not reflect its true performance because accounting rules limit how it records revenue for leases. On an adjusted basis, the company lost $61 million, or 48 cents per share, in the April-June period. That beat Wall Street’s forecast of a 60 cent loss per share, according to analysts polled by FactSet. Tesla’s adjusted revenue of $1.2 billion beat analysts’ forecast of $1.18 billion. loss, said it has already identified $1.4 billion of potential cuts across the business.

“These reductions will come from operating expenses, capital spending and corporate overhead,” the company said.

“This will strengthen the resilience of our portfolio in a lower gold price environment, while positioning us to deliver stronger margins when gold prices recover.”

The move comes as Barrick plans to strip its quarterly dividend to two cents per share from the current five cents per share.

The company reported a net loss of $9 million, or one cent per share, compared to a loss of $269 million, or 23 cents, in the same period a year earlier.

Sales dropped to $2.23 billion from $2.46 billion.

Barrick said it’s also considering a number of expressions of interest for the purchase of its noncore assets in Nevada and Montana as it anticipates further weakness in the price of gold during the last half of this year. Gold bullion has lost roughly 40 per cent of its value since 2011, which has left miners scrambling to reduce how much they spend to produce each ounce of the precious metal.

TORONTO — Canada’s trade deficit with the rest of the world shrank in June to a surprisingly low $476 million, as exports experienced the biggest onemonth surge in 8 ½ years.

The value of Canada’s merchandise exports to other countries rose to $44.6 billion in June — up 6.3 per cent, the biggest one-month gain since December 2006 — and exports to the United States rose 7.1 per cent to $34.2 billion.

The total trade deficit — including a smaller decline in imports — was far less than the $3.4 billion gap in May, according to Statistics Canada figures released Wednesday. It is also below economist expectations of a $2.8 billion deficit, according to Thomson Reuters.

BMO Capital Markets economist Benjamin Reitzes said the solid June figures were likely making up for several months of weakness and probably won’t be repeated in July.

However, there’s reason to think the second half of this year will be better than the first half, driven by stronger U.S. economic growth and the weak Canadian dollar — which probably hasn’t had much impact yet on trade figures, Reitzes said.

“You’re starting, maybe, to see it in the June numbers.”

The Canadian dollar has recently traded near an 11-year low, hovering around the 76-cent U.S. mark.

But Reitzes said it averaged above 80 cents U.S. throughout June and was above 90 cents U.S. as recently as a year ago.

“It takes a little bit longer,” Reitzes said.

“It can take two to three years to see the full positive impact of the weaker currency.”

RBC senior economist Nathan Janzen said that forecasters have been counting on a boost in Canadian exports, especially to the United States, due to the competitive advantage of a weaker loonie — but it hadn’t really materialized earlier this year.

“We try not to read too much into one data point, but the June numbers would be consistent with exports starting to see some of the positive effects of a weaker Canadian dollar and an improving U.S. economy,” Janzen said.

He said the rise in June exports is also consistent with the Royal Bank’s view that Canada’s economy will start growing again in the third quarter, which began in July.

“With that said, when you look at the details of the (June) report, the rebound in exports was industries that were retracing some weakness earlier in the year,” Janzen said.

Nine of 11 sections showed increased exports, led by consumer goods as well as metal and non-metallic mineral products.

Energy products increased 3.7 per cent to $7.9 billion in June, with prices up 4.5 per cent and volume down 0.7 per cent.

Canadian exports excluding energy products were up 6.9 per cent in June.

Exports to countries other than the United States — by far Canada’s largest trading partner — rose 3.8 per cent to $10.4 billion.

Imports declined to $45.1 billion in June from $45.3 billion in May, with seven of 11 sections decreasing.

Import volumes fell 0.9 per cent while prices were up 0.3 per cent. Imports from the United States declined 0.9 per cent to $29.5 billion.

The loonie fell to 75.83 cents U.S., down 0.04 of a U.S. cent from Tuesday’s close as the Canadian dollar flirts with 11-year lows.

That came as Statistics Canada data released on Wednesday showed that in June, Canada saw its biggest one-month surge in exports in more than eight years.

Gareth Watson, vice-president of investment management and research at Richardson GMP Ltd., said that while the trade data was positive, investors are focused more on the broader economy.

He said traders are weighing questions about the fundamentals of the Canadian market such as monetary policy, the low price of oil and potentially anemic growth prospects as the economy recovers from a slowdown in the first half of the year.

“There’s a few elephants in the room, so to speak,” he said.

The S&P/TSX composite index gained 11.94 points to 14,502.99, after a 22.6-point rise on Tuesday.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 10.22 points to 17,540.47, the Nasdaq index rose 34.4 points to 5,139.94, and the S&P 500 advanced 6.52 points to 2,099.84.

The loonie’s slide is also a reflection of Canada’s relative performance against the United States, Watson said.

“It’s not that we’re not doing well, it’s that the Americans are doing better,” he said.

The Bank of Canada has cut its benchmark interest rate twice this year, putting it at 0.5 per cent as it seeks to stimulate a stalling Canadian economy. Watson said

“I’m just not sure what kind of profound impact it can have on the overall economy when you’re at a very small base to start off with,” he said.

The September oil contract fell 59 cents to US$45.15 a barrel. The price of oil has dipped by more than half since July 2014.

“The negatives are known.

What’s being debated now is the magnitude of the impact and how long it’s going to last,” Watson said.

He added that it’s the abundance of global supply that is driving down the price of oil, with some of the decline over the last two weeks the result of a deal on sanctions against Iran that’s set to bring that country’s wells back to the world market.

Watson said the Iran example is proof that oil prices are sensitive to unexpected news.

“Events like that can change the outlook very quickly,” he said.

On the commodity markets, the December gold contract closed down $5.10 to US$1,085.60 an ounce and the September natural gas contract fell 1.4 cents to settle at US$2.798.

BRIEFS

Allegations that led to former Centerra Gold CEO’s arrest without merit: company Toronto-based miner Centerra Gold says the arrest of a former CEO in Bulgaria appears to be related to corruption allegations that are without merit.

Centerra Gold says Leonard Homeniuk was arrested by Bulgarian authorities at the request of Kyrgyzstan, where the company’s largest gold mine is located.

Centerra Gold spokesman John Pearson says the allegations that led

to Homeniuk’s arrest and detention date back to when the company was founded in 2004 and specifically relate to the Kumtor mine.

Kyrgyzstan and Centerra Gold have sparred over the ownership and revenue of the Kumtor project for years.

A non-binding agreement signed by both sides in 2013 calls for stateowned Kyrgyzaltyn JSC to exchange its 32.7 per cent interest in Centerra Gold for 50 per cent of a joint venture that would own Kumtor.

Pearson says the company remains in negotiations with Kyrgyzstan over the future of the Kumtor mine.

Foreign Affairs says it is aware of a Canadian detained in Bulgaria and will offer consular services, but it declined to identify the person, citing privacy concerns. The 68-year-old Homeniuk led Centerra Gold from 2004, when the Kumtor mine was spun off into its own company by Saskatchewan-based miner Cameco Corp., until his retirement in 2008.

CALGARY — WestJet’s CEO said he was pleased Wednesday after pilots with the airline voted against forming the company’s first union.

The WestJet Professional Pilots Association said on its Facebook page that 684 of 1,247 pilots — about 55 per cent of those who cast ballots over a two-week period — rejected unionization.

The association said it is disappointed with the result and hopes the process will lead to constructive dialogue between pilots and WestJet leadership going forward. The group had said it was time the company’s pilots are represented through a certified union as WestJet continues to expand.

WestJet CEO Gregg Saretsky welcomed the results.

“We are pleased that the majority of our pilots who voted have voted against union representation,” he said in a statement.

“Our model of co-operation and employee representation through the WestJet Pilots’ Association has allowed for the continued success of our pilots and our airline. Despite the positive outcome, there is continued work that needs to take place to better understand some of the issues for our

pilot group and we can now turn our efforts to that goal.”

WestJet had said it believes the fact that it has a non-union workforce gives it a competitive advantage, adding that collective bargaining would have led to service disruptions and increased labour costs.

The WestJet Professional Pilots Association cited the company’s recent growth in recent years as a motivating factor behind the unionization bid.

The airline has opened new offices in Toronto and Vancouver while expanding its routes, including its first transAtlantic flights last year.

The Canadian Industrial Relations Board has been running the vote but says it will not be able to release official results until its board approves them. There is no indication when that could be.

To trigger the vote, the WestJet Professional Pilots Association had to show more than 40 per cent of pilots supported the association through membership cards.

The unionization drive among pilots wasn’t the only one facing WestJet. The WestJet Professional Flight Attendants Association is working to reach the 40 per cent membership threshold to launch a vote on whether flight attendants can unionize.

Path over flood-damaged river bank restored RIVER BEND GOLF AND RECREATION AREA

BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF Pedestrians may now use the path that connects the pedestrian bridge near Discovery Canyon to the Perimeter Trail.

Repairs to the flood-damaged river bank in the River Bend Golf and Recreation Area are nearing completion for the year.

Crews have installed the rip rap or big rocks that restore and stabilize the river bank, which eroded in some places 20 feet after the big floods in June 2013.

Jerry Hedlund, the city’s projects superintendent, said most of the work on the $650,000-project wrapped up on July 25.

The weir that serves water to the ponds was exposed to the river because the piece of earth that protected it washed away with the flooding.

BRIEFS Eckville man accused of stealing sports equipment from Brooks An Eckville man accused of stealing more than $5,000 in sports equipment from Brooks has been arrested in Beaverlodge.

The 51-year-old was arrested on Aug. 1 at a hotel room in Beaverlodge, west of Grande Prairie.

Grande Prairie RCMP executed a search warrant, arrested a man and recovered the stolen sports equipment.

A police investigation suggests the sports equipment was stolen from the Brooks Golf Course on July 27. According to a police release, charges are pending against the man.

Osprey causes power outage Close to 1,000 people in Red Deer County, Lacombe County and near Joffre were without power Wednesday morning because a bird was building a nest.

Crews from Fortis Alberta were dispatched after outages were reported at about 10 a.m. to 989 customers. By 11 a.m., power had been restored to the customers. Jennifer MacGowan, Fortis Alberta spokesperson, said the cause of the outage was due to an osprey trying to build a nest atop one of the power poles. She said the osprey was unharmed.

Crews worked to remove some sticks from the power pole and managed to restore power.

Police look for witnesses to alleged kidnapping in Eastview A seemingly random attack and alleged kidnapping in a Red Deer alley has police looking for witnesses.

Red Deer RCMP said a man was walking down an alley behind his Eastview residence when he was jumped by three people on July 25 at about 2:10 a.m.

He was assaulted, then taken into a vehicle and dropped off in the Morrisroe neighbourhood, where police found the victim after 911 was contacted.

According to a police release, as the victim walked a truck pulled up alongside him and stopped.

The male driver and two male passengers got out and threw the victim into the box of the truck before

A valve, part of the weir, is expected to be repaired in September when the river is at its lowest.

The city held off on seeding and other reclamation work because the area will be ripped up as the city develops for biathlon and cross-country skiing for the 2019 Canada Winter Games next year.

Hedlund said the city anticipates Alberta Environment will ask the city to plant willow trees to naturalize the area.

Two years ago, the city declared a state of emergency in response to a flood warning after Alberta Environment planned to release water from the Dickson Dam. Other river banks in the city, including areas in Maskepetoon Park, also suffered damaged, which since have been repaired. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com driving away.

A short distance later, the truck stopped and the victim was pulled out and assaulted before the three alleged kidnappers drove away, leaving the victim in an alley in Morrisroe.

The victim suffered scrapes and bruises, but he was not robbed. Police said the victim did not know his attackers. Police describe the driver of the truck as a Caucasian male, about 1.77 metres tall (fivefoot-10), with dark hair and was wearing a black jacket. The first passenger is described as about 1.72 metres tall (five-foot-eight), with blonde hair and wore red shoes with white laces.

Police said the second passenger wore a grey hoodie with a zipper with the hood up.

Pair face stolen vehicle, drugs, firearm charges An investigation of a suspicious vehicle led to the arrest and detention of two people, one of whom was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

Alexander Forbes Smythe, 34, and Kayla Rachel Boucher, 25, face a combined 10 charges, including stolen vehicle, drugs and firearms offences.

They were arrested south of Red Deer near Gasoline Alley on Aug. 1 by Blackfalds RCMP. Appearing in Red Deer provincial court Tuesday before Judge Bert Skinner, the two were represented by duty counsel as they have yet to retain a lawyer.

They appeared by closed-circuit television, in separate video-conferencing rooms, but both are being held in custody at the Red Deer Remand Centre.

Crown Prosecutor Ed Ring said he is opposed to their release. The Crown is proceeding by indictment on the charges against Smythe, meaning if convicted, he faces stiffer sentences, but by summary conviction against Boucher, which carries lesser penalties.

The accused reserved their election and plea to Aug. 12 to apply for a lawyer from the Alberta Legal Aid Society.

At about 11 p.m. on Aug. 1, Blackfalds RCMP attempted to pull a vehicle over south of Red Deer, but it refused to stop, drove into a nearby field and got stuck. Police determined the vehicle had been reported stolen.

The two occupants fled the area on foot and police pursued into the east side of Gasoline Alley, where they were cornered in a small wooded area.

With help from the Red Deer RCMP, Innisfail Freeway, Innisfail RCMP and Red Deer RCMP Police Dog Services, police were able to apprehend the two. The male had a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest, and the woman was arrested as his accomplice.

Woman led legal fight for those infected by hep C

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

Family of Canadian held in Indonesia hopes related ruling will help man’s case The family of a Canadian teacher imprisoned in Indonesia on much criticized child-abuse convictions is hoping a related ruling from a court in the neighbouring country of Singapore will help his case.

Neil Bantleman is currently serving a 10-year sentence after an Indonesian court found him and a co-worker guilty of abusing children at the elite international school that employed them.

Bantleman’s brother said a mother of one of the alleged victims levelled many of her accusations at the start of the case in the form of emails, text messages and other digital communication sent from Neil Bantleman Singapore.

As a result, Guy Bantleman says his brother, his co-worker and their employer filed a defamation lawsuit against the woman in Singapore.

He says the court found that accusations of sexual abuse levelled by the mother regarding her son could not be proven, found that the mother had defamed the men and the school and ordered the mother to pay a total of nearly 230,000 Singapore dollars ($219,000) in damages.

“The court said there was no evidence to support the allegations of the mother and in reality there were more communications that actually said the mother and child indicated no sort of physical abuse,” Bantleman’s brother said.

“We hope the courts in Indonesia have taken note of what the courts in Singapore have ruled.”

Neil Bantleman’s family has called the case

against the 46-year-old Burlington, Ont., man a surreal one.

He and a teaching assistant were both working at the Jakarta Intercultural School when they were arrested last July following reports from parents of a six-year-old boy who claimed to have been sodomized. Police had already arrested five janitors who worked at the school on charges of child sexual assault in relation to the case.

Bantleman and the teaching assistant, Ferdinant Tjiong, were then charged with sexually abusing three children at the school, underwent a trial that saw conflicting evidence, and were eventually convicted in April.

Both men maintained their innocence throughout and frequently voiced criticisms about the fairness and transparency of the trial which saw medical reports from three different hospitals in Jakarta and Singapore show no major injuries or abnormalities in the three children at the centre of the case.

Bantleman filed an appeal, which is expected to be ruled on at the end of this month.

His family hopes the positive court ruling from Singapore might have some impact on the outcome of his Indonesian legal battle.

“Obviously we’re talking about two different countries, what happens in Singapore doesn’t mean it’s going to follow through in Indonesia,” Bantleman’s brother said. “But I think it does point the courts in Indonesia in a direction that says listen, ’we’ve looked at this information and find a very different outcome of what happened.”’

Bantleman wrote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper after being found guilty in Indonesia, saying the process used to convict him was corrupt and amounted to a human rights violation.

The federal government has called on Indonesia to ensure the appeal is conducted in a “fair and transparent manner” and says it continues to monitor Bantleman’s health and safety. extreme stress and an enormous risk of injury,” said SPCA spokeswoman Anita Kapuscinska. “All for the amusement of humans.”

MONTREAL — A Montreal cabbie who faces seven charges for allegedly striking two people on purpose with his vehicle will find out Thursday whether he’ll get bail.

Nick Forlinano Gauthier’s bail hearing wrapped up Wednesday and featured testimony from someone close to the taxi driver.

Details cannot be reported because of a publication ban.

The charges against the accused, 32, include aggravated assault, criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

The taxi driver allegedly struck the two men for failing to pay their fare as they got out of the cab on Monday.

An 18-year-old suffered head injuries, while a 20-year-old was also taken to hospital with less serious wounds.

Diane Parsons, infected with hepatitis C from tainted blood, heads from a news conference in Halifax on June 15, 1999.

HALIFAX — A Halifax woman who led a $1.18 billion class-action settlement for those infected with hepatitis C has died.

Lawyer Dawna Ring says Diane Forsyth died Saturday at the age of 64.

Forsyth became known nationally under her maiden name, Diane Parsons, for leading the legal fight for those infected with hepatitis C from blood transfusions.

Her family doctor, Patricia Beresford, said Forsyth, who had a bleeding disorder, became ill after getting a blood transfusion prior to dental surgery in 1989.

At the time, Canada had not instituted surrogate testing for hepatitis C. “Early on in her illness, and until the day she died, Diane fought for adequate compensation for the medical and living costs of victims of hepatitis C exposure from blood,” said Beresford.

Thousands of people in Canada were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving tainted blood transfusions in the 1980s.

The federal government launched a public inquiry in 1993 to look into the scandal. Justice Horace Krever spent four years in his investigation and made 50 recommendations when he issued his report four years later.

The settlement in the lawsuit led by Forsyth also wasn’t without controversy when it was announced in 1998.

Under the court-approved agreement, Ottawa and the provinces set up a fund to compensate people infected with hepatitis C through tainted blood from

1986 to 1990. But people infected before 1986 were excluded on the grounds that there was no test to screen for the virus before then, but it was later learned there were fairly effective tests available before 1986.

In 2006, a separate federal compensation deal for the so-called forgotten victims of hepatitis C was announced, covering people who were infected with the virus before 1986 or after 1990.

A number of people who knew Forsyth issued statements on her importance to those who were affected by tainted blood.

Harvey T. Strosberg, who was the lead lawyer in the national class action, said Forsyth was a “visionary and a leader.”

“She put her faith in the judicial system and she was not disappointed,” he said. “Thousands of Canadians have benefited because she led the way.”

Ring said Forsyth was giving of her time, even when she was sick and weak.

“Diane opened her private life to the public to assist in educating everyone about hepatitis C and its impact on the lives of those infected with the disease.”

Alexa McDonough, former leader of the federal and Nova Scotia NDP, commented on her importance to those with hepatitis C. “How valiantly Diane struggled and championed the cause for others battling with hepatitis C,” she added.

Forsyth was predeceased by her first husband, Basil Cruickshanks. She is survived by her husband Billy Forsyth; daughter Heather Fleet Wolff; stepdaughter Kelly Gillis; and sons Michael, Basil and Brian Cruickshanks.

A funeral was scheduled to be held Wednesday.

Democracy denied A recent column reported that in his recent report “Environment and Parks —Systems to Manage Grazing Leases,” Alberta Auditor General, Merwan Saher, was surprised to find 1999 Alberta legislation that was passed by the legislature but never proclaimed into law, which would effectively have ended Cowboy Welfare and had the big public land grazing lease bucks go to the people of Alberta where they belong.

The AG confessed to being flabbergasted, because the unproclaimed law would have dealt with what he considers to be a fundamental principle for all Albertans: BOB that personal fiSCAMMELL nancial benefit should not derive from public assets.

What is this all about? Readers will be wondering.

Let me describe the best and worst example I can ever remember of Alberta democracy in action and democracy denied.

Back in the late ‘90s, after two or three previous public hearings on Alberta public land, the major issues were still festering, open wounds, so the government of the day decided to hold one final, definitive public hearing to find out what Albertans thought of their public land and what they believed should be done with it.

The late Tom Thurber, PC MLA for Drayton Valley, and then Drayton Valley-Calmar, a farmer, was appointed by the Cabinet to conduct and chair public hearings into public land matters.

Albertans by the thousands, personally and through their representatives, were heard at sessions of the hearing

OUTDOORS

in many Alberta communities. As I recall, the public land leaseholders were not well represented at the public hearings; they prefer private hearings and other methods, as we shall see.

In due course, Mr. Thurber, who surely went straight to heaven, produced a superb report accurately describing what Albertans told him about their beloved public land. It is hard for me to find now, but the Premier and her minister of Environment, Parks, and Sustainable Resource Development should find the Thurber Report and study it.

Basically, the report’s conclusions were the same as the ignored reports on the two or three public hearings on public land that preceded it: public land is a priceless public asset that should never be sold, only leased, or licensed in appropriate circumstances; the public should always be assured of access to its public land for lawful purposes; public land should be much better managed, protected and administered for the benefit, including better economic benefit, of all Albertans.

So incisive was his report, that Mr. Thurber was assigned the additional task of seeing to the preparation and introduction into the Legislature of a bill making the changes necessary to make the public land wishes of Albertans come true, including fundamentally changing the way leaseholders would be compensated for energy drilling on public land grazing leases, bringing Alberta’s law closer to those in Saskatchewan and B.C. Thus, in 1999, Mr. Thurber introduced into the Legislature the 21 - page omnibus Bill 31, “The Agricultural Dispositions Statutes Amendment Act, 1999,”which the elected representatives of all Albertans (63 PCs, 18 Liberals and 2 NDP) passed after the requisite three readings and study by the Committee of the Whole.

The bill was to become law upon the formality of proclamation, or “Royal Assent,” i.e., being signed by the Lieutenant - Governor.

A shot of a public land grazing lease for sale for $265,000. Such a deal: but the mere lessee gets the money, while the public, the owner, gets zilch.

The day after the bill passed in the Legislature, Premier Klein was scheduled to attend a Western Premiers’ Conference at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller.

On that grey and rainy day a posse from the ranching community rode in on horseback to send a message to the Premier, lining the museum entrance and holding placards with multi - messages against Bill 31, particularly that Klein was “Biting the Hand that Fed Him.” Having been forewarned, Klein, our famously cowardly lion, didn’t show up, and the posse dispersed and dismounted.

However, this oater — charade succeeded in its lobbying intent and Bill 31, a law expressing the will of Albertans and their elected representatives, has never been proclaimed, received royal assent and thus given the force of law.

A premier with guts would have been there, locked and loaded, faced down the posse and told them to ride

off into the sunset because the people and their elected representatives had spoken and wanted the grazing lease fiasco ended, and the hand indeed well and truly bitten that had for far too long been groping in and picking the pockets and purses of Albertans.

The Premier might even have added that the sole “hand” that truly feeds him and all Albertans is the ninety percent of Alberta’s ranchers and farmers who are not of or among the ten percent elitist and privileged, “landed gentry” who hold grazing leases and believe themselves entitled to the money and subsidies that come with them.

That non-democratic competitive advantage, that basic unfairness is just the start of a long list of what is wrong with public land administration in Alberta, alluded to by the AG, and particularly its grazing lease program.

The many varieties of Bellflower The genius Campanula commonly known as Bellflower encompasses a large selection of perennials, biennials and annuals..

Some varieties are a treat to have in the garden, others need controlled and then there are the ones that should only be used in places where nothing else grows such as dry slopes or deep shade.

Of the last LINDA group, CamTOMLINSON panula rapunculoides, commonly known as Creeping Bellflower or Rocky Mountain Bluebell is on the Alberta’s noxious weed list.

This hardy plant has escaped from homesteads throughout Alberta and is making its way into pastures and fields.

Chances are that if it is in the garden it is a problem as it sends its roots deep and wide.

Bellflowers are easily identified by the shape of their flower tubular, bell or star shaped.

The most common flower color is blue but dependent on the variety campanulas are available in white pink, and different shades of purple.

Growth habits are, upright, hanging or clumps.

It depends on the variety or sometimes even the cultivar if the roots spread quickly by rhizomes or stay in a localized area.

Clips, Blue or White, Campanula carpatica, is a popular variety that is hardy to Central Alberta. The plant grows in clumps that need to be split every three of five years depending on the soil conditions and the amount of sunlight it receives. If the clump is allowed to grow too large the flowers slump to the edges leaving a bare spot in the middle.

Clips will thrive in full sun to partial shade.

Place the plant near the front of the border as it is relatively short. In wet years, slugs can be a problem.

Clustered Bellflower Campanula glomerate is often traded between neighbors.

Unless it is going to be used to fill in a large area, it is better to purchase a named variety from a reputable garden center. Named varieties have been chosen as they do not have aggressive roots and will stay in small clumps.

Named varieties come in white or purple reaching a height of12 -14 inches (30 – 35 cm). The older varieties work well to fill in a shady area where little else grows.

Peach-leafed Bellflower Campanula persicifolia spreads through shallow roots that spread outward making a larger clump but can be easily controlled.

Campanula rapunculoides, commonly known as Creeping Bellflower or Rocky Mountain Bluebell, is on Alberta’s noxious weed list.

Take time to deadhead as seeds are viable and can lead to a large number of plants.

The plant itself consists of low growing leaves coming from a central point.

Strands of flowers start appearing in early July and continue can continue into August depending on the weather and plant location.

Look for this plant in blue, white and with single or double flowers.

Harebells, Campanula rotundifolia, are native to Alberta.

Do not dig these in the wild to move into a flowerbed as the plants do not adapt to the richer garden soil and less

plant competition. Purchase varieties on the market that have been selected for domestic use.

Harebells have very slender stems that hold one or two bells aloft. Their roots will spread outwards but they will grow well in clumps adding a blue clump to the garden for a couple of weeks..

Canterbury bells are a biannual which means that it becomes established the first year and blooms the second.

Expect the flowers, white, pink or blue to start blooming in the spring and continue into the summer. The

height of plant depends on the variety but it will range between 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm).

The large flowers and stunning display make waiting a year worthwhile.

Place the plants in a location where they will be covered with snow during the coldest months.

There are a few varieties of Campanula that can be a problem but for the most part, the add color and shape to the garden.

DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN

Take on the heat with a healthy twist to your cocktails As much as summer inspires fresh fruit, market vegetables, salads and outdoor activities, it also has a tendency towards mimosas for brunch, afternoon cocktails on the patio, beers at the beach, wine for dinner amongst friends, or what one may start to refer to as a little bit of excess alcohol consumption. It’s all too easy to get carried away, especially with the mix of booze that may leave you with a bloated belly, depleted immune system, and even a little edge to your mood.

So here’s a few tips to keep it all in check: 1. Commit to still exercising daily. Getting a sweat on releases endorphins, metabolizes the alcohol and leads you to more healthful choices throughout the day to minimize your cravings. It also KRISTIN leads you to drinking more FRASER water to stay hydrated.

2. Stick to clear liquor like vodka or gin as darker liquors contain more of the toxic compound formed when fermentation of the alcohol occurs called congeners. This creates more severe hangovers. Bourbon, for example has 37 times the congeners as vodka.

3. Refrain from beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup. When high fructose corn syrup was brought into our food supply the rates of diabetes has increased seven fold and obesity rates have more than tripled. Proven to literally put holes in the intestinal lining leading to leaky gut syndrome where undigested particles can then enter the bloodstream.

Many of your favorite beers contain genetically modified corn syrup and carcinogenic caramel colorings.

Do some homework on your drinks. Beer also tends to be the most bloating and prone to weight gain.

4. Avoid the sugary mixes. Sugar is surefire way to enhance hangovers, lead to quick weight gain and emotional mood swings post drinking.

5. “Healthify” your cocktail. Adding fresh lime or lemon or even an orange wedge adds an element of alkalinity and vitamin C to offset the effects of the alcohol. Coconut water makes a good mix with rum and lime to replenish the electrolytes. Mojitos with fresh mint and club soda are a better choice, and throw in some additional raspberries for the antioxidant boost. Choose water as a mix to maintain hydration.

6. Nutritional experts at Harvard suggest taking a multivitamin that contains folic acid to replenish the B Vitamins lost when drinking. This can also help minimize any hangover effects. Other supplements that support the body from the effects of alcohol are probiotics and Vitamin C. 7. Be sure to supplement with some extra super food support to replenish your body of vital nutrients. A shot of wheatgrass every morning has the equivalent nutritional profile of two pounds of dark leafy greens.

You can purchase frozen packs of wheatgrass shots to pop out daily. This will keep your skin looking vital and youthful, your energy levels up and minimize the aging effects that alcohol can have on the body.

Now is always the time to be enjoyed to it’s fullest.

Get out in the sun, eat lots of nourishing foods, some not-so-nourishing foods, get active outside, have some camping and lake time, and take on the heat with a healthy twist to those cocktails.

SOMETHING TO CHEW ON

extra-large boxes, bags, jars and cans or when you’ve got lots of a food stockpiled.

How to Get Slimmer Together: Don’t buy prepared or packaged foods; cook from scratch. That way, you control portions, ingredients and additives (there won’t be any).

Potential Fat Trap: You’re using oversize tableware.

The trend toward bigger plates, bowls, cups and serving dishes can get you in trouble. Serving yourself from a big bowl can prompt you to take more. So can plopping your serving onto an oversized plate or bowl.

How to Get Slimmer Together: Downsize your dinnerware.

Try using the salad plates as dinner plates. Instead of putting serving bowls on the table, serve yourselves buffet-style in the kitchen. Make a new rule: Only have seconds of veggies and salad.

Potential Fat Trap: Food equals Romance. Wining and dining is a formula for romance in reel life -- and real life. But don’t confuse steak and chocolate cake with love! In fact, they’re love busters, because high lousy LDL cholesterol and clogged arteries can hurt your sex life big time.

How to Get Slimmer Together: Skip restaurants with menus soaked in fried foods or red meats; look for new restaurants with healthier fare you can fall in love with. Grilled fish or veggies with beans, chicken or seafood prepared with delicious herbs and spices are great options.

Then you’ll really be able to enjoy your romance.

Disagreement over money causing problem for college student Dear Annie: I had my high school graduation party at a local restaurant (because our house is too small).

My father claimed he was unable to pay for it, and insisted I cover the bill, close to $1,100, saying he will pay me back later.

I realize that my parents’ business sometimes goes through hard times, but Dad still manages to eat out frequently.

He’s terrible with money, and I am not sure he will ever pay me back.

I told him that I expect MITCHELL complete repayment by the & SUGAR middle of August and if I don’t get it, I’ll start selling his vast collection of unused musical instruments.

He doesn’t believe me.

I am paying for my first year of college through grants, scholarships, my savings and the money I earn from my job.

I never expected anything from my parents because I know they can’t afford much.

But I had no idea I was going to get stuck with the bill for the party.

What do I do? — Farmer’s Daughter Dear Daughter: Let’s not turn this into a major conflagration.

Dad should not have stuck you with a bill for a party neither of you could afford.

But selling his musical instruments isn’t the answer, either.

Try to remain calm and work out a payment plan with Dad, in writing, with the amount he needs to pay each week until an agreed-upon total is reached.

It may take longer than mid-August, and you might also consider paying for part of the bill because the party was for you.

But it’s better than the all-out war you are contem-

plating.

We also suggest you involve your mother in this transaction since she, too, has a say in the family finances and may bring a more level head to the discussion.

Dear Annie: My husband’s parents live several states away.

They are both in poor health, one worse than the other. I fear that when one passes away, my husband will want us to move and take care of the other one.

We have two young children and this would involve us leaving our jobs.

When we visit, I am miserable the entire time and have no desire to move.

We could not ask the remaining parent to move, either, because they both have jobs, as well.

Our marriage is struggling right now, so living in separate states would not help us repair our problems.

And then there’s the fact that I would want my husband to do this for my parents. So how can I deny him this? —Unhappy Wife Dear Unhappy: In all fairness, you cannot.

Taking care of one set of parents means a willingness to take care of both.

But it doesn’t necessarily mean moving across the country. If the parents are near retirement age, it makes just as much sense for them to relocate where your jobs are, instead of vice versa, and where family is already established to help in their care.

You and your husband should have this conversation now and talk about realistic alternatives, including retirement or assisted living communities nearby, and the type of medical facilities and senior assistance in the area.

If the two of you cannot reach agreement, we recommend asking an unbiased, third party to act as a mediator.

A sheriff’s office in the United States has posted a flyer on its Facebook page asking drug dealers to turn in their rivals. Media outlets report the Sheriff’s Office in Franklin County, Kentucky, posted the flyer Monday. It features an image of a marijuana leaf and says, “Is your drug dealing competition costing you money? We offer a free service to help you eliminate your drug competition!”

Sheriff Pat Melton says the post is funny, but authorities are not joking around.

At the bottom of the letter, people are asked to fill out information about the drug dealer they are reporting, including the dealer’s name and vehicle.

NEW YORK — There’s so much for parents to talk about with teens heading off to college for the first time. There’s the safe-sex talk, the nutrition talk, the get-enough-sleep talk, the partying talk and the study-hard talk. In between all the talking and the packing and the planning, teaching kids how to safely self-medicate with over-the-counter preparations for colds, headaches and sore muscles might not be on the parental radar.

But it should be. And it should land there well before move-in day. According to national surveys of parents and sixth-graders, tweens got a failing grade for knowledge about the proper use of OTC medicines. Only about half knew such medicines can be dangerous when improperly used or mixed with other drugs. On the parent side, about the same number said they didn’t believe their kids could effectively understand the drug facts on labels, let alone whether their offspring are abusing or in danger of abusing such medications recreationally.

Perhaps more surprising: The vast majority of parents said they were not sure whether OTC-related issues were taught in their children’s schools. “Based on many high school health curricula, students entering college have had very little classroom instruction regarding OTC medications,� said Joy Greene, assistant dean of experiential education and a pharmacy professor at High Point University in High Point, North Carolina. “Most of what college students know about OTC products is what they see advertised in the media and what they learn from other people,� she said.

Greene and others urge parents to make sure their kids have the confidence and know the importance of consulting a pharmacist when trying to make OTC decisions they can’t sort out for themselves while in the moment, standing alone or with friends in a drug store aisle staring at the crowded shelves.

Chester Goad in Crossville, Tennessee, has a 14-year-old son who plays several sports and has already started the OTC drug talk. “We’ve had to have a lot of discussions regarding pain, swelling, etcetera through the years,� he said. “I think parents are worried sometimes about bringing unnecessary attention to OTC medications so they avoid discussing them, or they avoid them altogether whether for philosophical or other reasons.�

In Goad’s case, “we have always discussed medications, why we might take a particular medication, the different types of medications, why we purchase one kind or another, because we want our son to know ingesting medications is not something to be taken lightly.�

ENTERTAINMENT Solomon to host talk show on SiriusXM

THURSDAY, AUG. 6, 2015

REST IN PEACE

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Evan Solomon, a former CBC personality who was fired over conflict-of-interest allegations, has landed a new job as the host of a political talk show on SiriusXM Canada.

The satellite radio company’s head of programming said Wednesday he didn’t hesitate to hire Solomon despite the controversy.

“Evan took full responsibility for his actions at the CBC, he apologized Evan Solomon and he’s moving on,” John Lewis, senior vice-president of programming and operations, said.

“We look at it as what type of content we’d like to provide to our subscribers, our listeners, and we actually feel quite fortunate to have him — he’s one of Canada’s most experienced political journalists.”

The show, called Everything Is Political: Campaign 2015 with Evan Solomon, will premiere Thursday at 6 p.m. and will follow the run-up to the Oct. 19 federal election.

The one-hour show will air on Thursdays in August before airing daily on weekdays in September until Nov. 5.

Solomon, who has kept a low profile since his dismissal in June, tweeted the announcement Wednesday.

“Very happy to join the team at SiriusXM to cover this great campaign,” he said.

The company approached Solomon a few weeks ago after connecting with him through a friend, Lewis said.

SiriusXM Canada says it broadcasts more than 120 satellite radio channels and has more than 2.6 million subscribers.

The company is partly owned by the CBC — a link Lewis said makes Solomon’s move “a little bit interesting for sure but I’ll just leave it at that.”

Solomon anchored CBC News Network’s daily show Power and Politics and CBC Radio’s weekly The House until he was fired in June, following a Toronto Star report that alleged the 47-year-old used his position to broker lucrative art deals between a friend and wealthy interview subjects.

Solomon has said he never intentionally used his CBC position to secure deals and that he was “deeply sorry” for any damage his activities had caused.

At the time, the editor-in-chief of CBC News said Solomon — previously considered a possible successor to Peter Mansbridge on The National — had failed to meet the “very highest standard of journalistic conduct and ethics.”

Jennifer McGuire said Solomon disclosed in April that he and his wife owned a production company that had a business partnership with an art dealer but insisted it would not conflict with his work for the public broadcaster.

Visitors pay their respects to Chris Hyndman of the CBC show “Steve and Chris” at a public memorial at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto on Wednesday. Hyndman died earlier this week at age 49. Stella Waddington was a daily viewer of “Steven and Chris” and says she considers herself fortunate to have met the duo. She was fundraising for a children’s charity at a Loblaws supermarket when Hyndman and Sabados strolled by her booth.

“They were very warm, very sympathetic with the charity, and very giving,” Waddington said after signing the guestbook. “I was very impressed by both of them. And they were very handsome.”

TIFF unveils Canuck lineup, from survival to satire

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Canadian films headed to the Toronto International Film Festival this year include a survival tale from Patricia Rozema starring Ellen Page, a political satire from Philippe Falardeau, a horror film from Bruce McDonald, and a reimagining of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker’s life, starring Ethan Hawke.

On Tuesday, festival organizers announced this year’s Canuck lineup, also touting a Laos-set thriller starring Rossif Sutherland, two surreal visions from auteur Guy Maddin, shorts from directors Don McKellar and Barry Avrich, and several outings from prominent journalists.

High-profile titles include Rozema’s Into the Forest, starring Page and Evan Rachel Wood as sisters left to fend for themselves; Falardeau’s political feature My Internship in Canada; McDonald’s Halloween-set Hellions; and Robert Budreau’s ’60s-era Born to be Blue, about Baker.

Sutherland stars in Jamie M. Dagg’s River, while Maddin co-directs The For-

bidden Room and Bring Me The Head of Tim Horton, a behind-the-scenes look at Paul Gross’s new film, Hyena Road, which will also screen at the festival.

Meanwhile, former CBC personality and doc maker Avi Lewis hits the festival with This Changes Everything, inspired by the best-seller written by his partner Naomi Klein; longtime Maclean’s film writer Brian D. Johnson directs the documentary Al Purdy Was Here, about the celebrated poet; Toronto Star investigative journalist Michelle Shephard co-directs Guantanamo’s Child: Omar Khadr” and former Postmedia film critic Katherine Monk explores the glass ceiling in electronic dance music in Rock the Box. The films join other Canadian features announced last week from Atom Egoyan, Gross and Deepa Mehta.

Other titles revealed Tuesday include: ● Ville-Marie, directed by Guy Edoin, which traces four lives at a hospital: an actress who hopes to reconcile with her son, a paramedic haunted by his past, and a nurse trying to keep an emergency room running. ● Ninth Floor, directed by Mina Shum, about the Sir George Williams

Riot of 1969. ● Closet Monster, directed by Stephen Dunn, which follows a young man unsure of his sexuality and haunted by the memory of a tragic gay bashing he witnessed as a child. ● Fire Song, directed by Adam Garnet Jones, about a young man who moves back to a remote aboriginal community when his sister commits suicide. ● How Heavy This Hammer, directed

by Kazik Radwanski, about a 47-yearold father of two who is consumed by a crude computer game as his marriage collapses. ● Our Loved Ones, directed by Anne Emond, about a family rocked by a death in the basement of their home.

Homegrown films compete for the best Canadian feature prize and best Canadian first feature prize.

Festival organizers also announced this year’s rising stars, a program meant to shine the spotlight on emerging actors: Deragh Campbell, Stephan James, Aliocha Schneider and Karelle Tremblay are featured.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 10 to 20.

The price of loyalty: Scene users will need more points this fall

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Cineplex is making changes to its Scene loyalty program this fall that will make it more costly to earn points for premium-priced movie tickets.

The Toronto-based movie chain says it will raise the number of points customers need for free premium movie tickets starting on Nov. 4.

The existing program lets viewers redeem 1,000 Scene points for any movie at a Cineplex theatre.

Under the changes, tickets for screenings in 3D or seats inside an UltraAVX or Imax theatre will cost 1,500 points and movies in the adults-only VIP cinemas will cost 2,000 points.

Cineplex is also increasing the number of points customers receive for more expensive tickets, effectively making it easier to rack up points if

you’re paying more.

Scene will now give moviegoers 150 points for a premium-priced movie ticket and 200 points for a VIP ticket.

A free general admission ticket for a regular screening will still require 1,000 Scene points.

A representative for Cineplex was not immediately available for comment.

ORR Sara Mowforth Dunbar Feb. 24, 1919 - July 31, 2015 Sara, beloved mother, wife, grandmother and greatgrandmother, passed away peacefully at Harmony Homes, Red Deer. She is survived by her loved daughters Carole, Denise and Candace, their partners, Rick Pow, Gord Greer and Jack Smalley; two granddaughters, Tegan and her husband Chris Keil, and Devon Smalley and her fiancé Casey Jensen; four greatgrandchildren, Felicity, Torran, Lachlan and Corbin; and her younger sister, Sandy Mayes. Sara, who always called Vancouver home, was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Ethel Dunbar, her older sister, Jae Hodgson and her adored husband, Oscar. Sara (Ethel) was born in Esquimalt, where Tom was stationed in the Navy serving on HMCS Rainbow which was the first ship commissioned by the Canadian Navy. After the war the family returned to Paswegin, SK. Sara loved being on the farm but the 1930s depression forced the family to abandon the farm and move to Vancouver. There, Sara discovered the delights of the ocean and magazines - both of which proved to be life-long loves. Sara met Oscie at Locarno Beach - he was the freckled lifeguard and she was the beauty in the white bathing suit. After a seven year engagement, they married on June 8, 1945 at the Little Church Around the Corner in New York and then returned to Bahrain, where Oscie had been working for Cal-Tex. With Oscie’s career as a chemical engineer, Sara became a master at buying, selling and decorating houses all over the world, including ‘the wreck’, which soon became a showcase, in Red Deer. A creative seamstress and avid skier, she made herself a better golfer and bridge player through perseverance and hard work.

Family was all important to Sara. She lovingly gave her daughters the tools to make choices and to realize that all choices have consequences. She and Oscie loved all the ‘sons’ that came into the family. She reveled in being a grandmother and great-grandmother, holding all of them in her arms, save for this year’s addition, Corbin. She will be missed. Words cannot express the gratitude the family has for the compassionate and secure life Renee White and all her staff gave Mom over the past 7 years at Harmony Homes. On August 1, the family celebrated Sara’s life at a family dinner with plenty of laughter and good food. Her ashes will be added to Oscie’s and they will be together forever. Flowers are gratefully declined; in lieu, to celebrate her life-long love for animals, donations in Sara’s memory are suggested to Medicine River Wildlife Centre, Medicine River Wildlife Centre, Box 115, Spruce View, Alberta, T0M 1V0. Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.eventidefuneralchapels.com.

NIELSEN Keith Keith Nielsen of Red Deer, AB went to be with his Lord and Saviour on Saturday, August 1st, 2015 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital surrounded by his wife and children. He had fought a good fight with pancreatic cancer for over 11 years which was an amazing miracle. We were very blessed to have Keith with us for several years more than what was expected. We packed those 11 years with weddings, grandchildren, trips, cruises, 60th birthday, 40th anniversary celebrations and much, much more! Keith was born on August 31st, 1953 in Red Deer, AB. He lived in Central Alberta all his life except for 3 years when he attended college and university. He graduated from Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School in 1971 and the University of Alberta in 1977 with a Bachelor of Education degree. After he graduated, he started farming instead of teaching and loved working with his dad and brother for over 20 years on the farm southeast of Red Deer. In 1994 he changed directions and worked in the oil field service industry and later in commercial real estate. All who worked with Keith respected him for his hard work ethic and selfless attitude, knowing that he cared for them in a caring and unconditional way, even if he hardly knew them.

He always portrayed a godly and integral life in all he did.

Keith attended Deer Park Alliance Church faithfully all his life and was involved with his wife in many areas of ministry in his 61 years. He was especially known and loved for his warm smile and friendly handshake and helping anyone that met him to feel welcome. He wanted others to find the same joy and hope that he had in his faith with his Saviour, Jesus Christ. Keith is survived by his wife, Sharon, of 41 years, his sons, Donovan (Joanne) Nielsen and Blair (Jessica) Nielsen, his daughters, Karina (Kevin) Wilkie and Kara (Dave) Ryan.

MUD HERO PREPARATIONS

Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff

Jason Spadafora rolls on some traction to the tops of several vehicles at the Canyon Ski Resort on Wednesday. The Mud Hero employee and his co-workers are busy this week preparing the site of the 2015 edition of the Mud Hero event at the ski hill west of Red Deer. Organizers expect about 15,000 participants in the event. It will pit runners against 18 obstacles, which will take participants from the top of the hill to the bottom and back to the top and through a feature that Mud Hero is calling the ‘Worlds Most Epic Mud Pit.’ The event begins Friday morning and will have staggered start times Saturday and Sunday. Although registration is closed for the event, Mud Hero is looking for volunteers to get in on the action through the weekend.

kilometres (25 miles) from the capital, Oslo.

More than 1,000 students have enrolled for three days of seminars on politics that start Friday. Private visitors a day earlier will include NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, a former Labor Party leader who was also Norwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime minister at the time of the massacre.
