Masyk admits guilt in death BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF Fourteen months after Trystan Sorensen was run down and killed as he longboarded west of Penhold, a woman has admitted her guilt. Jessica Lyn Masyk, 26, entered guilty pleas to three charges on Wednesday, cutting short a trial. Masyk, of Penhold, pleaded guilty to the three charges laid against her: driving while unauthorized, failing to remain at the scene of a collision and public mischief for filing a false police report. She appeared in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday before Judge John Holmes. Sorensen, 18, was killed while longboarding with a friend. His mother, Amy Sorensen, said she carries Trystan with her all the time. “He’s with me right here,” she said, pointing to a heart shaped necklace outside the Red Deer Courthouse. “Trystan had a tremendous sense of humour. He loved making people happy. I miss him tremendously, he was a wonderful kid.” Amy Sorensen has attended every one of Masyk’s court appearances. She puts a series of items on the bar that separates the public gallery from the lawyers, judges and clerks. Among them is an urn with Trystan’s ashes and a picture of Trystan. Masyk, her hair died pink, stood silently with her hands behind her back as Crown prosecutor Ed Ring read the facts of the case into the record. Just after 10 p.m. on May 20, 2014, Sorensen and his friend Roman Black were longboarding on Hwy 592 west of Penhold. Sorensen stood at the crest of a hill and watched as Black rode down. Black stopped and got off his longboard. Sorensen then rode down the hill. Masyk crested the hill in her Dodge Durango and struck Sorensen.

City unable to collect millions in outstanding fines BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF The City of Red Deer is owed $2.69 million but there’s nothing it can do to collect it. The sum is from hand-issued tickets, and photo radar and red light camera tickets. A report to city council this week indicated that for the past seven years, the outstanding amount of unpaid tickets has consistently been about $3 million. The problem is that the city has no control over the collection of these fines because they are administered by the province. There’s no mechanism in place for the city to go after errant traffic violators. To make matters worse, the province writes off unpaid tickets after sev-
eral years. That meant that from July 2014 to June 2015, the government of Alberta wrote off $212,352 that should have gone to city coffers if the fines had been paid. The report states that for eight years now, the fine revenue from photo radar has never met the projected budget. Initially, that was because of optimistic budgeting by city policing leadership. But the shortfall is now being blamed in part more on the strategic positioning of photo radar to help make streets safer rather than maximizing revenues. City manager Craig Curtis told council this week that the actual revenue has not been maximized because city RCMP management has taken the safety approach rather than placing photo radar at “fishing holes” just for the revenue.
Since 2011, there has been a decrease in serious injuries and fatalities on city streets. During the 2015 budget discussion, administration recommended that council add $900,000 in ongoing funding to the police budget to make up for the fine revenue shortfall. Council decided to add $560,000 annually instead. This year to date, there is already a projected fine revenue shortfall of $300,000, which is expected to increase before the end of the year. The City of St. Albert has taken to disguising its photo radar to look like utility boxes, and the equipment is operated remotely. That city defends the practice because it says it makes streets safer but some people argue it is a cash cow.

A lady on a morning walk passes by a homeless man lounging near the Centennial Plaza Park spray fountain and wading pool, located near the downtown McDonald’s restaurant and Alexander Way on Wednesday morning. There have been allegations that the city’s homeless community use the fountain and pool to bathe and wash their clothes.

An allegation that Centennial Plaza Park is a spray park by day — “bum bath” by night — does not hold water. The city shuts off and drains the water at 6 p.m. each night. Recently a Kijiji message warned of “filthy homeless” washing themselves and their clothes in the water at the Alexander Way park and using it for a toilet. In the message, that spread quickly but has since been removed from online sites, a mother said her friend saw a lot of activity there one night at about 8 or 9 p.m. After visiting the park with her son and both of them becoming ill, the
mother worried it was due to contaminated water. She said a city worker told her the water is not drained. But Sarah Cockerill, the city’s director of community services, said the spray fountain and wading pool is in fact drained daily. “We clean it and we drain it every day. We refill the system around 11 a.m. and noon and we drain it every night at 6 p.m.,” Cockerill said on Wednesday. She said treated tap water recirculates for the six hours and the site is Alberta Health Services approved. “We are very diligent to make sure that it’s safe.”

BRIEFS Base jumper injured near Nordegg A base jumper was critically injured near Nordegg on Tuesday. STARS air ambulance spokesperson Fatima Khawaja said they responded with a helicopter about 12:50 p.m. to pick up a patient at the Cline River helipad. “We transported a 39-year-old male to the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary in critical life-threatening condition,” said Khawaja. Two other helicopter companies were also involved in the rescue of the man who had jumped from a sheer cliff near Nordegg but got into trouble. Alpine Helicopters rescued the patient from the mountain and a second company, Ahlstrom Air, ferried the patient to the Cline River helipad. Firefighters and Emergency Medical Services from both Rocky Mountain House and Nordegg also responded to the call. STARS had no further word on his condition on Wednesday.
Free the Fuzz fundraiser begins Friday Local enforcement officers will join forces to help the Special Olympics again. A group of officers will camp atop the Parkland Mall Walmart from Friday through Sunday as a fundraiser called Free the Fuzz. Alberta Sheriffs, RCMP, Alberta Animal Services and Red Deer County enforcement are involved in the fundraiser, which is the flagship event for the annual Alberta Law Enforcement Torch Run. There will be a barbecue at the mall and those stopping by can meet athletes and officers and purchase merchandise. The Torch Run is the largest grassroots fundraiser for the Special Olympics, raising $560,000 across Alberta last year. Local proceeds will go to Red Deer Special Olympics programs.

MASYK: Sentencing hearing slated for Nov. 5 In his statement to police, Black said he saw Masyk stop the vehicle and get out to look around. She then got back into the vehicle and sped off. A day after the collision, Masyk reported her vehicle stolen to Innisfail RCMP. She said someone had taken it from her back alley around 8 p.m. on the evening of May 20 and that she had both keys for the vehicle. “You don’t go through that much trouble to hide something if you haven’t done something wrong,” said Amy Sorensen, At 10 p.m., Innisfail RCMP received a report of a burned vehicle in a farmer’s field. It was Masyk’s vehicle. During this time, Masyk had confided in a few people that she was in the driver and was involved in the crash. On May 24, Masyk went to the Innisfail RCMP detachment and turned herself in. She refused a lawyer and gave a statement to police after hearing her Charter rights read to her. Masyk told police that after the crash, she contacted Jesse Miller and Logan Graham, both of whom came to her residence. According to the agreed statement of facts, the vehicle was doused with diesel fuel and lit on fire by Graham and Miller. It is unclear if Miller faced criminal charges for his role. Graham was convicted of a role and received an 18-month conditional sentence and 12 months probation. Steven Lagace pleaded guilty to arson in relation to the burning of the truck and was sentenced to 26 months jail on that and other unrelated charges. On April 15, 2014, Masyk received a letter from Alberta Transportation saying her licence was suspended due to excessive demerits. Masyk’s counsel Kaitlyn Perrin of Calgary said

Motorists travel past a number of paving vehicles parked on 19th Street on Wednesday. The intersection of Gaetz Ave. and 19th Street will be completely closed from 6:30 p.m. until 5 a.m. overnight as city crews complete paving. City crews are also paving sections of 67th Street and the intersection of 30th Ave. and 22nd Street. Drivers are asked to find alternate routes and avoid the areas until paving is complete. of repairs and renovations. Flooding due to a plumbing problem closed the library at the end of March. Extensive damage was done to the north end of the building. Insurance covered the damage, which has not been officially tallied yet. The book collection had to be placed in storage so the damage could be repaired. A temporary library kiosk was opened at the Lacombe Memorial Centre
to provide some service. On Monday, the library officially opened its doors again with all books and audiovisual resources back on their shelves. Public computer access, including wireless connections, faxing, scanning-to-email and photocopying services, are all available. Registration for children’s programs will open next Monday. Fall classes begin the week of Sept. 7.
she believed the sentencing hearing will take some time as she and Ring are far apart on what they believe the sentence should be. A pre-sentence report was ordered and Masyk’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 5 in Red Deer provincial court. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com
Central Alberta AIDS Network Society, said CAANS’ mobile outreach program NightReach does visit the spray park area once or twice a night. “We would have heard if this was a bath tub or laundromat. That hasn’t been our experience,” Vanderschaeghe said. And it would be highly unusual for homeless people to do their wash in a pool during the day with children and parents on site, she said. “When parents are at a splash park they are aware and vigilant about the other adults that are there. It would be a bad safety choice for homeless people to walk into that fray. The moms and dads would not put up with that,” Vanderschaeghe said. Red Deer Downtown Business Association also has the Community Clean Team on streets to keep the downtown clean and does check on the spray park. Executive director Amanda Gould said her association has never received a complaint from spray park users or about problems with people hanging out there at night. She said the city’s homeless does tend to concentrate downtown which has been an issue for some businesses over the years. Most recently, homeless activity has increased over the last two weeks, but Gould didn’t know why. “Between the City of Red Deer and the Community Clean Team and our service and support partners, we’re all very diligent to make sure our public spaces are clean for the use of the public. I think there is hard work going on all over the city that make sure green spaces are something for residents to enjoy,” Cockerill said. Juanita Otto, who was at Centennial Plaza Park on Wednesday with her children, said they visited regularly this summer and the only place she sees people hanging out is by the nearby McDonald’s. And the spray park has been empty when she has driven by at night. “I have never seen anything. Something like that would stand out for me,” Otto said. Blue Grass Sod Farms Central Spray & Play, the city’s newest spray park at the corner of Rotary Recreation Park, shut down for mechanical repairs on Monday and was expected to reopen on Friday. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com
FINES: Considering various solutions Red Deer city administration has considered various ideas to resolve fine shortfalls. These include creating a reserve for fine fluctuations, adapting speed-on-green technology at intersections, and sitting at high ticket areas and focusing on obstructed plates. Council received the report for information only during mid-year budget review this week. However, the matter is expected to come up during the 2016 budget discussion. barr@reddeeradvocate.com
PARK: Connect people with local services She said city staff did contact the complainant to explain how the spray park is maintained. As for the vulnerable and homeless population in Red Deer, she said the city and community agencies are working to end homelessness and connect people with local services. “(There) are some that choose to use our services that are available in the community, and some that choose not to,” Cockerill said. When it comes to hygiene, showers and laundry equipment are available at Safe Harbour Society. People can also access showers at the Rec Centre for a nominal fee.

A matter of perspective BY GWYN MORGAN SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Several years ago, a Globe and Mail Report on Business article highlighted the newspaper’s commitment to providing “perspective” in its news stories. I have long considered that a laudable and necessary component of professional journalism. Unfortunately, it’s all too rare in today’s print and electronic media. One of the most egregious examples of failure to present perspective — on Canada’s economic record — came in the aftermath of the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s report that the federal government’s forecasted $1.4 billion surplus for the 2015-16 fiscal year may turn into a $1.5 billion deficit. Opposition critics smelled blood. NDP Leader Tom Mulcair told reporters, “The Conservatives have always talked a good game on the economy, but they’ve never delivered on either.” Liberal Finance critic Scott Brison said, “Their economic record is in tatters.” Such over-the-top commentary is just part of the political game, especially so close to an election. But that doesn’t excuse reporters for failing to lend perspective. The most obvious question for both Mulcair and Brison is, “How significant is a $2.9 billion change in an $890 billion budget?”
The answer is that it amounts to less than one-third of one per cent. Despite diligent searching, I couldn’t find any media reports that offered that vital perspective. Virtually all parroted the Mulcair and Brison laments about government fiscal mismanagement. Days later, a new Globe and Mail/ Nanos poll found that the Mulcair NDP’s had suddenly overtaken Stephen Harper’s Conservatives as the best choice to improve the country’s economic prospects. That impression will be very hard for Harper to turn around so close to an election. Some may be happy about that and others will not, but regardless of one’s political alliances, lack of cogent questioning and thoughtful analysis by reporters is anathema to presenting important perspective to voters. Now let’s add another “perspective” question that alert reporters would have asked: “Given collapsed oil prices and the China-driven downturn in mining and forestry, isn’t it surprising that Canada can remain the only G-7 nation besides Germany not facing a major deficit?” Failure of reporters to ask such a relevant question reveals a wider naivety among Canadians of the economically vital importance of Canada’s resource industries. The degree of that importance can be found on the Natural Resources Canada website. In
mining, Canada is the world’s top potash producer, second largest uranium producer, third largest aluminum and platinum producer and ranks as a topfive producer of other key minerals and metals. In energy, Canada is the world’s third largest natural gas producer, fifth largest oil producer and the third largest producer of hydroelectricity. In forestry, Canada ranks first in newsprint and second in softwood lumber and wood pulp. In 2014, capital expenditures by natural resource companies totalled $126 billion. Natural resource exports totalled $259 billion, more than half of all merchandise exports. The sector employed 1.8 million Canadians across the country. Notably, Ontario leads with 237,000 resource jobs followed by 210,000 in Alberta and 178,000 in Quebec. Resources accounted for almost a third of GDP in Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Unfortunately, the outlook for 2015 isn’t so rosy. Lower oil prices are expected to knock over $4 billion off federal revenues and even more for producing provinces. The slowdown in China is having a major impact on our mining and forestry industries, further reducing government revenues and employment from coast to coast. And given that resource exports are the mainstay of Canada’s
balance of trade, the Canadian dollar has weakened considerably. Whether it’s a company or a country, the measure of wise financial management is taking advantage of the good times to build resilience for the inevitable bad times. In 2006 and 2007, the Harper government posted surpluses that positioned Canada to weather the 2008 financial crisis better than almost all other nations. Meanwhile, rather than building financial resilience during the extended pre-2008 boom, Eurozone countries spent and borrowed as if the good times would never end, placing them in the dire debt predicament we see today. Now, as Canada’s most important industrial sector faces difficult times, our economy faces another major challenge. Those often-criticized tough spending decisions taken to rebuild financial resilience will be key to carrying us through. That our government can even come close to balancing its books in the face of these circumstances should be a cause for rejoicing. But where else have you heard that perspective?

Brazil protests put Rousseff on hotseat Protesters thronged Brazil’s cities on Sunday demanding the impeachment of Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff, who was narrowly elected to a second term just last October, but not one of them made any reference to the Peter Principle. But if Rousseff were a senior manager in any bureaucracy, public or private, it would surely have been noticed by now that she has been promoted to her “level of incompetence.” We owe the insight that “managers rise to the level of their incompetence” to Dr. Laurence J. Peter, who pointed out half a century ago that people are promoted on the basis of their success in their GWYNNE last job, not their aptitude for DYER the next one. Eventually, inevitably, they are promoted into a job they are not equipped to do well. Even if they are not your conventional kind of manager. Rousseff was a success as a left-wing guerilla fighting Brazil’s military regime in the 1980s: captured and tortured for three days, she never said a word. She was a success as the chief of staff to Brazil’s first working-class president, Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva, in 2003-2010. She was a political success in getting elected as Lulu’s successor in 2010, and was re-elected in a tight race last year. But being a president herself is not part of her skills set. Two years ago, Rousseff had an approval rating of 66 per cent. According to the most recent Datafolha poll, only eight per cent of the population now gives her a positive assessment, while 71 per cent disapprove of her performance. Indeed, two-thirds of

those polled believe that Congress should impeach her and remove her from power. Part of the problem is the economy. Since it peaked in 2010 at seven per cent, Brazil’s economic growth rate has plunged. This year, the economy is predicted to shrink by two per cent. It’s not all Rousseff’s fault: the worldwide collapse in commodity prices has hit Brazil particularly hard. But in practice, the government in power at the time gets the blame. Moreover, the austerity measures that she has imposed to deal with the fall in government revenue have hurt her own electoral base among poor Brazilians. So far she has not touched the ground-breaking “Bolsa Familia,” a modest cash handout that has lifted 36 million people out of extreme poverty, and she promises to go on raising the minimum wage, but pensions and unemployment benefits have already been cut. An even bigger problem for Rousseff is the legal investigation code named Lava Jato (Car Wash). The biggest corruption scandal in Brazil’s rather impressive history of such things, it involves an estimated $22 billion in “suspicious contracts” going back for almost two decades involving Petrobras, Latin America’s largest oil company. Some of it involved graft for personal enrichment, but most of it appears to be money skimmed off government contracts to pay for election campaigns and other party political activities. Since the governing parties for most of this period have been Rousseff’s Workers’ Party and its parliamentary coalition partner, the Brazilian Democratic Movement, several dozen senior politicians from both parties have been arrested. Worst of all, Rousseff was the chairwoman of Petrobras from 2003 to 2010. It was not her primary job, and she denies knowledge of any of the corrupt transactions. The investigating officers also say there is no evidence linking her to corruption.

But people are looking for somebody to blame, and support for her impeachment is strongest in the poorest areas of the country. On the other hand, there is no charge against Rousseff that could justify an impeachment. Even in the absence of such a charge, a two-thirds majority in Congress could theoretically impeach her, but no such majority can be achieved in the current Congress. So Rousseff can just tough it out, and so far she has done just that. Sunday’s big demos were mostly attended by white, middle-class people who probably never voted for her anyway. Her own constituency of poorer Brazilians, although angry about her austerity measures and rising inflation, have not yet come out in the streets against her. That could change if the economic situation gets even worse. A major slowdown in China, Brazil’s biggest export market, could spell big trouble for Rousseff. So long as no evidence emerges that clearly links her to the corruption at Petrobras, however, she can probably stay in office until her term ends in 2018. What she cannot do is restore popular confidence in her leadership. She doesn’t lack the intelligence or the experience to be an effective president, and most of the time she gets her economic and social priorities right. There is no reason to believe that Lula, the man who finally brought change for the better in the eyes of poor Brazilians, would have coped any better with the economic headwinds that Rousseff has been struggling with. But he would still be popular, and she is definitely not. She tries hard, but it just doesn’t work. She has been promoted to her level of (political) incompetence, and it is going to be a long three years for her and for Brazil. Gwynne Dyer is a freelance Canadian journalist living in London.

Oilpatch mayors feeling the pinch BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Oil prices are the lowest they’ve been since the Great Recession and mayors in Alberta’s oilpatch are noticing the difference. “The barber says that he has less customers coming in,” says Tom Tarpey, mayor of Peace River, population 7,000. “I certainly notice less trucks and cars parked at the hotels in town overnight.” The town in northwestern Alberta is eager to see the economic boost from Shell’s Carmon Creek oilsands project. But in May, the company decided to slow the development by two years while it looks for ways to drive down costs amid a pronounced slump in oil prices. U.S. benchmark oil dropped below US$41 a barrel in Wednesday trading. The last time West Texas Intermediate crude languished in that range was early 2009. “We don’t anticipate the price of oil increasing in short order,” said Tarpey. “We see a year to maybe two years before the price of oil recovers to the heady days of US$75-plus.” As a result, Peace River is looking

BRIEFS RCMP release photo of armed robbery suspects RCMP have released images taken from a surveillance video of an armed robbery at the Quality Inn North Hill Inn last week. The images show one of the two suspects involved in the robbery on Aug. 12 at the hotel’s VLT lounge at 7150 Gaetz Ave. He is described as a Caucasian man in his 20s about 1.8 metres (sixContributed photo foot-two) tall One of two suspects. with a thin build weighing 82 kg (180 pounds). He has a pock-marked face and short brown hair above the ears. He was carrying a shotgun and wearing a face covering. Images of the second suspect are not available. He is described as Caucasian between 1.73 metres and 1.78 metres (five-foot-eight and five-foot-10) tall with a stocky build. He has short brown hair and he was wearing sunglasses and a face cover-
OIL HITS SIX-YEAR LOW D4 to Alberta’s NDP government for “economic stimulus” in the form of infrastructure projects, he said. In Grande Prairie, a city of nearly 69,000 about a two-hour drive southwest, the impact is also being felt, said Mayor Bill Given. But — as is the case in Peace River — the oil and gas industry isn’t the only game in town. For instance, the forestry industry is buffering the impact of the oil downturn somewhat. Grande Prairie’s energy industry is also heavily focused on natural gas. Operators in the area have been dealing with low prices for that commodity for years and have learned to become more efficient, Given said. “Yes, we’re down. Are we down as far as other parts of the province? No, probably not. Would we like to be up a little bit higher? Yeah, sure, potentially. But overall, we’re doing fairly well.” Omer Moghrabi, mayor of Lac la Biche, Alta., — about two and a half hours northeast of Edmonton and close to where the likes of Cenovus (TSX:CVE) and Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) have major oiling. The suspects fled the hotel in a white 2015 Hyundai Sonata, which RCMP recovered at 1:50 p.m. in an alley near Norquay Street. The car had been reported stolen on Aug. 3 from the Kentwood neighbourhood. It was abandoned and running with the doors open. Police believe there was a second vehicle waiting for the suspects to help them escape. If anyone saw suspicious activity in the Norquay Street area between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 12, they should call police at 403-343-5575, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com.
Red Deer Public School District names Henry new superintendent Red Deer Public School District has found its new superintendent from its ranks. Stu Henry takes a step up from his role as the associate superintendent for learning services and takes over for the recently departed Piet Langstraat, the school district announced on Wednesday. In a news release, the school district said Henry has been with the district for 10 years, and has worked as a teacher and school administrator for 28 years. Langstraat left Red Deer Public to become the superintendent of schools for the Greater Victoria School District in B.C.
sands operations — figures his town has been through three or four busts over the past four decades. “We thought it would start to rebound a little quicker,” he said of this downturn. Like many oil-centred regions in Alberta, Lac la Biche County has a sizable shadow population — transient residents who come for work, often living in camps or hotels. Its 2013 municipal census found this group made up about a quarter of the county’s population of 12,000. Moghrabi figures the shadow population has dropped to some degree, but it’s not clear by how much. Companies that provide services to the oilpatch are feeling the pinch and retailers and restaurants in town are hurting, he said. “But boy, the town still looks busy,” said Moghrabi, who added that finding a parking spot it still a challenge. The oilpatch may be slowing, but tourists are still flocking to the area’s lakes this summer, he said. In Cold Lake, southeast of Lac la Biche, near the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary, the downturn is noticeable, said Mayor Craig Copeland. “You can see the difference in terms of traffic,” he said. “It’s an honour to serve in this role and I appreciate the confidence the board has demonstrated in me,” said Henry in the news release. “I welcome the opportunity to continue the great work our district has undertaken to best meet the needs of our students.” Board chair Bev Manning said Henry was a unanimous choice by the board to be the next superintendent. Henry graduated from the University of Alberta with a bachelor of education and then earned a master’s degree in educational leadership from San Diego State University. He was the principal at Eastview Middle School and a teacher and administrator in the Chinook’s Edge School Division. Other appointments were also announced by the board on Wednesday. Chad Erickson becomes the associate superintendent of student services and Nicola Golby is the acting associate superintendent of learning services.

Caribou range removed from lease auction BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — Alberta is backing away from selling more energy leases on caribou ranges as the province’s new government grapples with saving the threatened herds while still allowing for energy development. Some 24 square kilometres of caribou range was removed from an auction sale of exploration leases held this week. And no caribou range is contained in leases to be offered for sale next month. That’s highly unusual, say wildlife advocates. “The Department of Energy is thoroughly reviewing all land sales in caribou ranges,” said Brad Hartle, press secretary for Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd. “The minister has made decisions to defer some but not all land sales.” The provincial and federal governments have long promised to do a better job protecting boreal caribou herds. Federal scientists have said the herds should be considered endangered, the most serious risk assessment available under Canadian law. Decades of energy and forestry development in their habitat — oldgrowth boreal forest — have reduced overall numbers by 60 per cent. Some herds number only a few dozen. Some herds live on habitat that is more than 80 per cent disturbed. and theft in the Chiles Industrial Park on Hwy 2A on Saturday at about 8:40 a.m. A black truck was seen leaving the compound by smashing through the gate. It was towing a boat. Police found the suspect vehicle and activated their emergency equipment, but the driver refused to stop. Police followed the truck to a deadend road in the area of Hwy 11A, Hwy 2A and Range Road 272. The driver abandoned the stolen vehicle and tried to flee on foot. A news release from RCMP says officers and police dog services located a suspect hiding on the grounds of one of the industrial businesses and took him into custody without further incident. According to police, the truck and boat were stolen from neighbouring businesses in the industrial area. The 17-year-old youth can’t be identified under provisions of the Canada Youth Justice Act. He is charged with operating a motor vehicle while being pursued by police, breaking out of a business after committing an offence, failing to comply with a youth court undertaking and two counts of failing to comply with a criminal code undertaking. The youth will appear in Red Deer provincial court on Oct. 20.

‘You are free to go’ MARQUEE WITNESS NIGEL WRIGHT LEAVES STAND, POLITICAL QUESTIONS REMAIN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
DUFFY TRIAL
OTTAWA — Nigel Wright heads back to his executive life in London after a six-day stint in the witness box at the Mike Duffy trial, leaving in his wake a new set of political questions for his former boss. And as Stephen Harper’s former chief of staff exits the stage, the prime minister’s former lawyer Benjamin Perrin is set to enter. Wright’s testimony at the senator’s fraud, breach of trust and bribery trial served to flesh out the story around his secret repayment of Duffy’s $90,000 in contested Senate expenses. While the RCMP had already established the broad strokes, Wright and the hundreds of emails that were filed as evidence drew a more complete picture of the elaborate, backroom machinations involving Duffy and several figures in the PMO in 2013. Those included trying to extract information about a confidential outside audit and pressuring senators to soften a parliamentary report on Duffy. “These were highly exceptional circumstances. Is that fair to say ...?” defence lawyer Donald Bayne said in one of his last questions on Wednesday. “The entire thing, yes,” Wright answered. Among the most politically incendiary information that emerged in the testimony: ● Harper’s current chief of staff Ray Novak was informed about Wright’s intention to repay the ex-
penses by direct email and Perrin told police he was present when Novak was told about it. ● Wright, who has been treated publicly by Harper as persona non grata, exchanged emails with Novak as recently as two weeks ago and spoke with him by phone in May or June. ● A half-dozen others in the prime minister’s office and the Conservative party were aware of the party’s original intention to repay Duffy’s expenses and some were also aware that Wright ultimately paid. Harper told the Commons in June 2013 that Wright told no one else of his decision. ● Members of the prime minister’s office scripted Duffy behind the scenes, having him tell the public that he would personally foot the bill. This scripting occurred even as the story of Wright’s cheque broke in the media. ● Sen. David Tkachuk, the head of the powerful internal economy committee, was the first to propose that an audit of Duffy’s expenses be shut down if he repaid his expenses, according to Wright. “I’m quite sure, sir, that you will be glad to hear the words: you are free to go,” Justice Charles Vaillancourt said to Wright on Wednesday afternoon. The Conservative campaign has been knocked off its main electoral message for the entirety of Wright’s time in the courtroom. Harper has care-
fully evaded specific questions about the actions of his staff, placing the blame exclusively at the feet of Wright and Duffy. “The two people who are responsible are Mr. Duffy, who did not repay as I believed he should repay and I think as most Canadians of common sense believe he should repay; and Mr. Wright who allowed him not repay by paying those expenses for him,” Harper told reporters Wednesday. But if Harper is breathing a sigh of relief that Wright is finished testifying, the trial will hear from more potentially problematic witnesses — including Perrin and possibly Chris Woodcock, Harper’s former head of issues management. Where the scandal was at first about Wright’s secret repayment, it has now morphed into an issue of honesty and transparency as contradictions pile up. The central questions that face the Conservatives include: ● Did Novak know about Wright’s repayment, and if he did, why did he not tell the prime minister when it emerged in the media? ● Why did Harper, his spokespeople and his ministers continue to tell the public that Wright acted alone and that no deal with Duffy existed, even after the scandal broke? ● If staff had no hesitation scripting Senate reports, giving orders to senators and trying to glean information from a confidential audit, is there something wrong with the culture inside the PMO?

BRIEF Airport screening agency sorry for refusing to pat down B.C. man TERRACE, B.C. — The agency responsible for screening at Canadian airports says a “big mistake” was made when a retired social worker was prevented from boarding a flight because an all-female security crew refused to frisk him. Robert Hart has an artificial hip that set off the metal detector at the airport in Terrace, B.C. in July. He was on his way to a family wedding in Ontario. He says he agreed to be patted down by one of the four female Canadian Air Transport Security Authority officers on duty, but they cited a same-sex pat-down policy and refused. They wouldn’t take him up on his offer to have his wife chaperon the search and there were no RCMP officers on duty to step in. The only solution was to book another flight for when a male officer was on shift. “It was a surreal experience,” Hart said Wednesday from his home in Terrace. “I said to the lady, ’I always beep,’ and she replied, ’You’re not going to be on this flight.’ “You instantly get that feeling of this is too crazy for words ... This is just going to go sideways right now. I know it is.” He left the airport and took a later flight that departed when a male officer was on duty. Hart complained to the security authority, which found his concern was justified.

FEDERAL ELECTION
OTTAWA — Stephen Harper political opponents agreed on one thing Wednesday: it is unlikely that the prime minister was in the dark about the controversial Mike Duffy expense payout, given that his right-hand man knew. Harper said he wasn’t going to discuss the latest controversial revelations from the Duffy trial from the previous day that more closely linked Ray Novak, his current chief of staff, to a $90,000 payment to Duffy in 2013. In the face of that evidence, Harper reiterated his core message on the topic as he continued to face questions on the federal election campaign. Harper maintained only two people are responsible for wrongdoing — Duffy over his Senate expense claims and former chief of staff Nigel Wright, who paid them. But the leaders of the Liberals, NDP and the Bloc Quebecois were united in their skepticism as the Duffy trial’s impact reverberated on the campaign. Novak has been a loyal political lieutenant to Harper since his days in opposition. He was elevated to chief of staff in 2013, when it was revealed that Wright personally covered Duffy’s expenses. Harper had wanted Duffy to repay them back himself. During Wright’s six days in the witness box at
Duffy’s fraud trial, it emerged that Novak was informed about Wright’s plan to repay the expenses. This came out in emails and then in a statement the prime minister’s former lawyer made to the RCMP that was read into evidence. “He (Harper) has not been frank, he hasn’t told the truth,” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said in Surrey, B.C. “If Mr. Novak knew, Mr. Harper knew. So, one plus one makes two. Now that we know Mr. Novak knew, we are able to conclude that Mr. Harper knew as well.” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said Harper needs to be honest with Canadians about what he knew about the Duffy affair. “This comes down to whether Canadians can trust the prime minister and his office. Canadians are not fools,” Trudeau said in Winnipeg. “They know that Mr. Harper has not been telling the truth. They deserve him to come clean. The prime minister has to start telling the truth to Canadians.” Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe said it is time either for Novak to quit or for Harper to fire him.

OTTAWA — The family of a 13-year-old air cadet who died at a Nova Scotia military base earlier this month says he had a sudden and severe asthma attack. The family of Gabriel Comeau says the attack could have happened anywhere and they are thankful he had access at a cadet training centre to immediate medical care, which they described as the “finest quality.” “They went above and beyond to try and save our boy,” the family said in a statement released Wednesday by the Department of National Defence. “We are so thankful for the whole team that responded that day.” Gabriel, who was from Quispamsis, N.B., fell ill on Aug. 4 in his accommodations at 14 Wing at Canadian Forces Base Greenwood. The boy was taken to the base’s medical clinic and later transferred to a hospital in Kentville, N.S., where he was pronounced dead. Gabriel was taking a three-week basic fitness and sports course, which promotes healthy living. About 1,000 cadets ranging in age from 12 to 18 go through the summer program. The boy’s family says he joined the cadets when he was 12 after watching his brothers participate in the program for five years. “He loved being a part of the program and wanted to take in every inch of what cadets offered.”

Feds in court to force First Nations Experience to disclose finances the wonders BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON — Lawyers for the federal government were in court Wednesday to persuade a judge to force five First Nations to open their books to the public. The reserves are protesting the government’s transparency law, which since last year requires all First Nations to post their salaries and audited financial statements online. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt has said the legislation makes financial information more accessible to band members and leads to “more effective, transparent and accountable governance, as well as stronger, more self-sufficient and prosperous communities.” Some band leaders argue the law is about controlling aboriginal communities and breaches their indigenous rights. “It’s bad legislation,” said Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, who planned to attend some of the two-day hearing in federal court in Saskatoon. He said the worst part of the law is that it forces reserves to reveal financial details of businesses that don’t rely on government funding, which creates confidentiality and competitiveness issues. “Transparency and accountability is a good thing, and we totally support that, but it’s our own-source revenues that’s the big issue ... it’s pretty heavyhanded.” Last year, after the government’s November deadline had passed for posting finances, it proceeded with court action against the five reserves: the Sawridge and Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations in Alberta and the Thunderchild, Ochapowace and Onion Lake bands in Saskatchewan.

BRIEFS
Appeal court upholds Toronto 18 conviction TORONTO — The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of a man portrayed as a minor player in the so-called Toronto 18 terror plot. Asad Ansari had appealed the guilty verdict delivered by a jury in June 2010 on the grounds that the trial judge admitted improper evidence — including letters found on his bedside table in which he discussed fighting “for the sake of Allah” — and made errors in his charge to the jurors. In his appeal, Ansari said the letters to his family were prejudicial evidence. He had argued at trial that the messages were draft suicide notes and that the reference to fighting was a red herring because he believed Islam did not allow suicide. He also took issue at appeal with the manner in which investigators intercepted private communications that were presented as evidence. But the three-judge appeal panel sided with the trial judge, saying the letters were “relevant to the case” and the intercepts had “no negative impact” on Ansari’s privacy.
U.S. couple whose baby was locked in hotel safe likely still in Ontario: police NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Police say an American couple who checked out of a Niagara Falls, Ont., hotel after staff freed a crying baby from a locked room safe is likely still in the province. The baby’s parents alerted the hotel about the incident at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, and a maintenance worker was able to get the child out. Police say the infant was reportedly in good health after being removed from the safe.

Cold Lake First Nation in Alberta was originally on the list, but was dropped from the case after it complied and posted its numbers. Court cases are also pending against another three bands: the Roseau River Anishinabe in Manitoba, Liard First Nation in Yukon and the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, Que. Last year, the government said it was going to withhold “non-essential” funding from almost 50 reserves that had yet to post their information. It now says bands have until Sept. 1 to comply before they lose the money. “We will take action to ensure First Nation governments comply with the law, which will deliver financial transparency for First Nation members,” said Aboriginal Affairs spokesman Stephen Lecce. In a separate court case, the Onion Lake band is challenging the validity and constitutionality of the law. One of the reserve’s lawyers, Michael Marchen in Edmonton, said no date has been scheduled since the decision in this week’s hearing will determine if the challenge moves forward. He said his office is arguing in Saskatoon for a stay and an injunction exempting the band from complying with the law. He expects lawyers for the other reserves will make similar requests. Outside the courthouse, several chiefs were expected at a rally in support of the five bands, including Bill Erasmus, who represents the Northwest Territories and the country’s Dene people. He commends the five bands for fighting back. “This government is not about sitting down with people and working out arrangements,” Erasmus said. “They’re all about bullying and forcing people and putting pressure on people because they can.”

Investigators say the couple left the hotel with their baby before police arrived, but they have not returned to their home in Brooklyn, N.Y. The hotel room was registered to a person who was driving a grey passenger van with the New Jersey licence plate B31 EUB. There is no information about why the baby was inside the safe and police want to locate the family to find out about the welfare of the child.
Canadian public servant email addresses on hacked Ashley Madison list TORONTO — The apparent email addresses of hundreds of Canadian federal, provincial and municipal government employees are contained in a massive leaked list of names purported to be users of Ashley Madison, a matchmaking website for cheating spouses. Ashley Madison does not send verification emails, meaning the accounts might not belong to actual users of the site and could simply be the work of disgruntled tricksters. Further, the data goes back to 2004, suggesting some email addresses may no longer be operational. In a statement, Toronto-based Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media, said it was actively monitoring and investigating the leak to determine the validity of any information posted online. It did not immediately respond to a question about why people can register for Ashley Madison with unverified or fake email addresses. Federally, more than 170 addresses associated with the Canadian Armed Forces are on the list, and hundreds more from other departments and agencies, including justice, public works, the Canada Revenue Agency and the RCMP. At least one MP was registered by name. Several email addresses attached to the Senate were registered although not under any sitting senators’ names.

Phillies too much for Jays BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Phillies 7 Blue Jays 4 PHILADELPHIA — With veteran Chase Utley likely the latest former star headed out of Philadelphia as the team rebuilds, it was a couple of rookies who lifted the Phillies to a victory Wednesday night. Aaron Altherr homered, doubled and drove in three runs and fellow rookie Adam Morgan pitched seven strong innings and Philadelphia beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-4. Jeff Francoeur and Andres Blanco also homered for Philadelphia, which snapped a four-game losing streak. “It was awesome” Altherr said. “It was good to be out there and get that first hit out of the way. I hope I can just keep producing up here and helping the team win.” Utley did a lot of winning with the Phillies, but didn’t contribute Wednesday even though he was in uniform and in the dugout. Two people familiar with the deal say the Phillies have agreed to trade the six-time All-Star second baseman to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both sources spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the deal hasn’t been finalized and is pending a review of Utley’s medical records. Utley has a history of knee injuries and recently returned from the disabled list after missing more than a month because of an ankle injury. Utley has a hit in eight straight games while batting .484 since coming off the disabled list (right ankle inflammation) on Aug. 7. He received a standing ovation after celebrating on the field after the game and doffed his hat in ap-

Philadelphia won 7-4. preciation. Asked why Utley didn’t play, interim manager Pete Mackanin said, “Under the circumstances I didn’t want anything crazy to happen.” After trading Cole Hamels at the July deadline and Jimmy Rollins last off-season, only Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz remain from Philadelphia’s 2008 championship team. Edwin Encarnacion homered for the wild-card leading Blue Jays, who fell two games behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Toronto lost for just the fourth time in its last 20 games.
“It’s a logjam right now,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “We’ve got to get back in it. Somebody else could, also. It’s good baseball.” Mark Buehrle (13-6) had his shortest outing of the season, giving up four runs and seven hits in four innings. Since May 29, Buehrle hadn’t allowed more than three earned runs in his last 13 starts while going at least seven innings in 11 of those games. Buehrle, though, felt he pitched well. “I wish I could have a lot of these nights,” he said. “My lo-
cation was good. I thought my stuff was better than my last four outings. Just bad luck. I had a bad start, but I was making my pitches.” Morgan (4-4) surrendered two runs and five hits while striking out three without a walk in seven innings. “I really didn’t try to do anything special, just stick to my strengths and move the ball in and out, front and back,” Morgan said. “They made some great plays behind me in the outfield, and timely. Overall it was a great team win.” Ken Giles pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save
in 11 chances. Encarnacion extended his hitting streak to 16 straight games with a homer leading off the fifth. It gave the Blue Jays at least one home run in 11 straight road games while bringing them within 4-1. Cliff Pennington’s RBI double in the inning made it 4-2. The Phillies scored three runs in the fifth off Bo Schultz. Blanco led off with a drive over the wall in right, and Altherr hit a two-run shot to left to put Philadelphia in front 7-2.

Henderson has confidence heading into CP Women’s Open BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Brooke Henderson believes the time she spent between the pipes growing up can give her a big assist this week as she tries to become the first Canadian in over 40 years to win Canada’s national women’s golf championship. Before she turned to golf Henderson was a hockey goaltender. The 17-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., will take some of the mental toughness she learned on the ice into this week’s US$2.25-million Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. “To be a goalie you have to be a little bit strange, a little bit odd,” said Henderson, “I think that has really helped me along the way mentally preparing for not only profes-
sional golf, but golf in general. “A shooter coming down on you, and you have a one-goal lead, it’s a lot of pressure. The whole team is counting on you. It’s the same when you have a three-foot birdie putt to win a championship or make the cut. It’s the same kind of pressure.” Henderson was thrust into the spotlight this week after winning her first LPGA event with an eight-stroke victory Sunday at the US$1.3-million Cambia Portland Classic. That made her the first Canadian to win an LPGA event since Lorie Kane of Charlottetown in 2001. She also is the Tour’s third-youngest champion ever at 17 years 11 months six days. The win prompted the LPGA to grant Henderson full membership on Tuesday,
meaning she won’t have to play Monday qualifying tournaments for the rest of the season. She faced having to qualify because she had exhausted all six of her sponsor’s exemptions previously this season. Gaining her tour membership on the eve of her national tournament was special for Henderson. “I don’t think it could have worked out any better,” she said. “I’m pretty far from my home but still in Canada with all the Canadian support and fans.” The last Canadian to win an LPGA Tour event on home soil was Jocelyne Bourassa in 1973 in La Canadienne, the precursor to the Canadian Women’s Open.

Zach Collaros and Matt Nichols both face a formidable challenge Friday night. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-2) will visit Commonwealth Stadium to face the Edmonton Eskimos (5-2). Not only is it a clash between two division leaders but also one involving two of the CFL’s top defences. Edmonton is ranked first in 14 of the CFL’s 25 defensive categories, including fewest points (14.4), yards (272), points (14.4) and sacks (27). Hamilton leads in five, including being tied with the Eskimos for most interceptions (11) while being first in interception yards (386) and fewest yards rushing (73.1). But Hamilton is second in seven other categories and has scored seven defensive touchdowns. That includes a team record-tying six on interception returns, which is one off the league mark. The statistics for both defences are certainly daunting for Hamilton starter Collaros and Nichols, who’s expected to be under centre for Edmonton. But the staggering numbers don’t stop there. Edmonton is a CFL-best 5-0 at home and 3-1 versus East Division competition. By comparison, Hamilton is 2-2 on the road, the two losses being by a combined four points. Hamilton, which has won four straight, is also 4-1 versus West Division competition, the lone defeat being a season-opening 24-23 decision in Calgary. The Ticats also lead the CFL with a giveaway-takeaway ratio of plus-12 while Edmonton is at zero. But while there’s not much separating both defences, the same can’t be said at quarterback where Collaros gives Hamilton an edge. Collaros is the CFL’s passing leader (2,014 yards) and heads up a Ticats’ offence averaging a leaguehigh 34.7 points per game. Nichols has guided Ed-
>>>>
monton to all of its wins since replacing injured incumbent Mike Reilly (knee). But Nichols has thrown more interceptions (nine) than touchdowns (eight) and been very inconsistent under centre. Nichols left last weekend’s 15-12 win over Montreal with a suspected head injury. He was cleared to resume practising and is expected to start against Hamilton. Thursday night’s game also starts a nasty stretch for Edmonton, whose next five contests are against Hamilton (twice), Calgary (twice) and Toronto. Fortunately for the Eskimos, three are at home. There’s also the matter of Hamilton’s Brandon Banks. The electrifying Banks — appropriately nicknamed Speedy B — has returned a leaguehigh three punts for touchdowns and is a threat do so every time he touches the ball. This should be a tight, defensive struggle. But Collaros’s ability to improvise on the run, the return of receiver Luke Tasker, kicker Justin Medlock’s consistency and Banks’ big-play ability combine to give Hamilton an edge on the road. Pick — Hamilton. Montreal Alouettes versus B.C. Lions on Thursday night. Montreal (2-5) has scored a CFL-worst 11 offensive TDs but with rookie Rakeem Cato at quarterback, that’s not surprising. Maybe the exuberance of youth can make the Als forget they’re 8-26-1 all-time in Vancouver, their last win at B.C. Place coming in 2000. The Lions (3-4) lost 52-22 in Hamilton on Saturday night and a defence allowing 30.1 points per game is without standout linebacker Solomon Elimimian (Achilles), last season’s league MVP and top defensive performer. Pick — Montreal. Calgary Stampeders versus Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday night.

Deflategate suspension could get tossed BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady (12) runs a drill during a joint practice between the Patriots and New Orleans Saints at the Saint’s NFL football training camp, Wednesday, in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. was suspending Brady over allegations he conspired with two Patriots equipment employees to deflate footballs below what league rules allow to give him a competitive edge in New England’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts in January’s AFC championship game. Goodell, who by contract can act
as an arbitrator for labour disputes, upheld the suspension, touching off the legal battle. During more than two hours of arguments by attorneys, the judge noted other arbitration decisions have been rejected when a key witness was not allowed to testify as he asked why NFL
Patriots, Saints have a lot in common BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — The kinship between Bill Belichick and Sean Payton is apparent in the way they compliment each other, as well as the subjects they’d rather not discuss. They relate on matters ranging from winning it all to the awkwardness of tarnished reputations. Their franchises have drawn some of the harshest sanctions levied by the NFL. Now they’ve gathered for a football summit of sorts this week at a secluded luxury resort in the mountains of West Virginia. They can provide plenty of reasons why they think working together before their preseason game on Saturday in New Orleans will help both squads improve. If they’re also sharing notes about what they’ve learned from scandals known as “Spygate,” ”Bountygate,“ or ”Deflategate,“ they weren’t acknowledging it when the teams practiced together on Wednesday. “I won’t comment on anything with regards to New England’s situation and ours is behind us,” Payton said. “We’ve got to find a way to improve.” In 2007, New England was levied heavy fines and docked draft picks by the NFL, which found the Patriots
improperly videotaped an opponent’s coaches’ signals. In 2012, an NFL probe concluded that the Saints had operated improper cash pools rewarding big and even injurious hits. Payton, who denied being aware of anything improper, was suspended for the 2012 season. Players the league identified as ringleaders of the “bounty” pool had various suspensions overturned on appeals brought by the NFL Players Association. In May, the league announced it was suspending Patriots quarterback Tom Brady four games over allegations he conspired with two Patriots equipment employees to deflate footballs below what league rules allow to give him a competitive edge in New England’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts in January’s AFC championship game. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the suspension on appeal, after which the quarterback, backed by the NFLPA, sued in federal court. A hearing in the case was held in New York on Wednesday, during which a judge said he would rule on Sept 4 if the two sides couldn’t resolve the issue. Back at the Greenbrier Resort, where the Saints hold training camp, Brady could be heard intensely barking instructions at teammates between plays during 11-on-11 drills. He completed several impressive passes, in-
STORIES FROM PAGE B1
JAYS: Helped by two walks The Blue Jays got two runs back in the eighth without a hit. They were helped by two walks from Luis Garcia and second baseman Cesar Hernandez’s error. The Phillies jumped on Buehrle for three runs in the first on Francoeur’s sacrifice fly, Darin Ruf’s RBI single and a run-scoring double by Altherr. It was the first career hit for the 24-yearold Altherr, a 2009 ninth-round draft pick who was called up to fill the roster spot of Maikel Franco after the rookie third baseman was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday with a fractured left wrist. Philadelphia won for just the second time in the last 12 games against Toronto. TAKE IT TO THE BANK Francoeur gave Philadelphia a 4-0 lead with a two-out homer in the third, the fifth in his last nine games at Citizens Bank Park. SLUMPING JAY Blue Jays OF Kevin Pillar is 8 for his last 56 (.143) after going 0 for 4. UP NEXT Blue Jays: After Thursday’s day off, Toronto plays the first of three at the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night with LHP David Price (11-4, 2.41) facing LHP Hector Santiago (7-6, 2.86).
Phillies: Philadelphia opens a fourgame series at Miami on Thursday night with RHP Jerome Williams (4-8, 5.47) opposing LHP Brad Hand (2-3, 4.74).
Saskatchewan (0-7) comes off the bye to face a Calgary (5-2) team that impressively beat Ottawa 48-3 last weekend. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell threw two TD passes and scored twice against the Redblacks. Five of the Riders’ losses have been by a combined 14 points, including a 30-26 decision in Toronto on Aug 8 where they had three TDs called back due to penalties. Flags have been an issue as the 2013 Grey Cup champions are the league’s most penalized and hurt themselves with untimely infractions. Pick — Calgary. Ottawa Redblacks versus Toronto Argonauts on Sunday afternoon Toronto (5-2) plays at Rogers Centre for just the second time this season. Quarterback Trevor Harris remains the starter with veteran Ricky Ray (shoulder) back on the six-game injured list. Ottawa (3-4) must forget last weekend’s lopsided loss to Calgary and would receiver a big boost if receiver/ returner Chris Williams returns. The Argos have habitually rallied

cluding a precisely placed, and timed, pass to Danny Amendola in the back, right corner of the end zone. Brady also engaged in friendly chatter with Saints quarterback Drew Brees, but still has not spoken with media since training camp began. His lawyers have advised him against doing so until after his legal resistance to the NFL’s “Deflategate” sanctions plays out. “It’s unfortunate,” Brees said, referring to league probes both teams have faced. “All we can worry about is the opportunity we have to practice against these guys and get better. “I’m a big fan of Tom Brady as a player and I really enjoy being around him as a person.” Belichick, as usual, kept most of his comments short and most of his thoughts to himself, but wasn’t shy about complimenting Payton and the Saints. “I have all the respect in the world for the Saints, their entire organization, Sean, the way they do things,” Belichick said. “We’ve got a great working relationship with the Saints, Sean and his staff. From a coaching standpoint, we both feel like we get done things that are beneficial to our teams. Players work hard, but they do it in the right way.”

The field of 156 players, including 14 Canadians, is deep in talent. Among those to watch are Inbee Park of South Korea, ranked No. 1 in the world, who won the recent Women’s British Open; Lydio Ko of New Zealand, a two-time winner of the CP Women’s Open, who is currently ranked second in the world. American Stacy Lewis, who has won 11 Tour titles during her career and is No. 3 in the world; and Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, who has 15 Tour titles to her credit and is tied for seventh in the world rankings. Henderson played her first LPGA event as a 14-year-old on this same course. She returns confident in her ability to hoist the trophy on Sunday. “I think it’s possible,” she said. “My game is in a great spot, as long as I can stay focused and determined over the next couple of days. “I think if I can get a solid game plan together and go out there and play my game on Thursday, it could happen.”

NEW YORK — Tom Brady might have reason to practise more intensely after a federal judge made clear Wednesday that the NFL’s four-game suspension of the New England Patriots quarterback over “Deflategate” is in jeopardy. U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman, who’s been asked by NFL Players Association to void the suspension, warned a league lawyer during oral arguments that there was precedent for judges to toss out penalties issued by arbitrators in the scandal over underinflated footballs. Berman continued to push for a settlement in the dispute — a potential result he called “rational and logical.” But throughout the hearing, he also cited several weaknesses in the way the NFL handled the controversy that could become the basis for handing a victory to Brady and his union. After the hearing, Berman met behind closed doors with both sides for more than an hour before the lawyers left court, saying the judge asked them not to discuss the negotiations publicly. If there is no deal, the Manhattan judge has said he hopes to rule by Sept. 4, six days before the Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL’s season-opening game. Neither Brady nor NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was in court Wednesday. Brady returned to Patriots practice after participating in negotiations along with Goodell and lawyers on both sides a day earlier. The league announced in May that it
Executive Vice-President Jeff Pash — who worked on the NFL investigation — could not be questioned by union lawyers during the suspension’s appeal. Arbitration proceedings, while more relaxed than court proceedings, are still required to follow due process rules to ensure fairness, Berman said. He also suggested that the league’s finding that Brady was generally aware that game balls were being deflated was too vague, noting that any reference to the Jan. 18 game against the Colts was “conspicuously absent” in a report on an NFL investigation that the league used as a basis for the suspension. Finally, Berman said he could not understand how the commissioner opted to keep a four-game suspension over a fine or a lesser penalty seen in other cases of equipment tampering. In one exchange, he questioned Goodell’s defence of the Brady punishment on the grounds that it was comparable to penalties on players caught using performance enhancing drugs. “How is that equal to steroid use?” he asked of the deflation allegations. “They both go to the integrity of the game,” responded NFL lawyer Daniel Nash. “Well, everything goes to the integrity of the game,” the judge shot back. It was the second week in a row the judge seemed to learn harder on the NFL in open court, though he again cautioned that he had not yet made up his mind which side would win. Another hearing was scheduled for Aug. 31. Both Brady and Goodell have been ordered to attend.

Woods pushes for unlikely playoff spot WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GREENSBORO, N.C. — It’s now or never for many players at the Wyndham Championship — the last chance to qualify for golf’s post-season. That group includes Tiger Woods. The biggest name in the sport is playing the final event of the PGA Tour’s regular season for the first time, in an effort to get his game back on track and make a last-gasp push for the playoffs. “I’ve started to build. I just need to get more consistent with everything, and start stringing together not just holes, not just rounds but tournaments,” Woods said Wednesday. “That’s why this tournament’s important to me. Hopefully I can win it, get into the playoffs and play a bunch of golf.” Woods, who missed the cut at the PGA Championship last week, beat last Friday’s deadline to enter the Wyndham but didn’t finalize his commitment until Monday. He said he had “a blast” playing a pro-am round Wednesday with NBA All-Star Chris Paul — a native of nearby Winston-Salem who starred at Wake Forest. And now he wants to stick around for a while. In 10 previous events this year, Woods has missed the cut in four of them and withdrew from another. He’s had three rounds in the 80s, his best finish was a tie for 17th at the Masters and his best week came at The Greenbrier Classic where he finished just six shots out of the lead. He’s eager to test his game on the Donald Ross-designed course at Sedgefield Country Club that puts a premium on strong iron play and features fast,
undulating Bermuda grass greens that Woods is trying to quickly figure out. During a soggy pro-am, though, the course played a bit differently with more, well, woods. “It’s going to be a lot of irons off the tee, but it wasn’t the case because it’s so wet,” Woods said. “Balls are plugging. Lot of mud balls out there.” The Wyndham has relished its spot as the last chance for the four’s bubble players to force their way into the FedEx Cup playoffs, which begin next week at The Barclays in New Jersey. Woods — who’s at No. 187 on the points list — is pretty far from the bubble. Only the top 125 players will make it to The Barclays, which means he probably needs a victory in his first visit here. Recent history seems to be against him: Last year, only one player outside the top 125 - Sang-Moon Bae - earned enough points here to move into the playoffs. A 14th-place tie helped him jump from No. 126 to No. 120. The year before, nobody did it. “If I don’t win this event,” Woods said, “I’ll have my off-season early.” Also on the bubble: Luke Donald is 124th, followed by Charl Schwartzel, Scott Langley, Seung-Yul Noh, S.J. Park and last year’s winner, Camilo Villegas. The top 125 in the standings also will earn 2015-16 tour cards. “There’s so much to play for,” said Webb Simpson, the 2011 winner who’s safely at No. 49 on the points list. “It’s definitely on guys’ minds, I think.” This would rank as one of the best fields in the 76-year history of the tournament even if Woods hadn’t made his last-minute decision to play Sedgefield. Adam Scott joins Woods as two of the six former world No. 1 ranked players in the field. Until Woods’ late entry, Scott was arguably the biggest

Eli Manning says he didn’t ask the Giants to be top-paid QB BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning didn’t ask the New York Giants to make him the NFL’s highestpaid quarterback. A perplexed and slightly miffed Manning on Wednesday shot down a report that he wants to be the league’s top-paid quarterback, insisting that was not the goal in contract talks. “Never been said, never come out of my mouth,” Manning said Wednesday. The two-time Super Bowl MVP is in the final year of a contract that will pay him a $17 million base salary. His agent, Tom Condon, has been negotiating a new deal, but the two sides are not close to an agreement, Giants coowner John Mara said Monday. Manning insisted neither he nor Condon told the Giants to make him the highest-paid quarterback. He said he speaks with Condon occasionally, but he isn’t looking for constant updates on the talks. “If something comes up, I ask him to call me and keep me updated or send me a text, but that’s it,” Manning said. Aaron Rodgers of the Packers currently is the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback, earning $22 million annually. The 34-year-old Manning has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Giants, so he knows how people in the New York-area react to headlines. For those who know him, it’s totally out of character to make such a demand. Manning even received a telephone

message from his father asking what was happening. “I don’t know how all negotiating goes and what is being asked,” Manning said. “I don’t think I want to know. That was never said by him, claiming that this is the goal of what we are trying to do.” Manning said he does not compare himself to other quarterbacks by salary, and right now he is not thinking or concerned about his contract. “My focus is on practice and getting the best out of our practices and getting better,” Manning said. “That’s all I am focused on. Nothing has changed. Nothing is different. Reports are all
wrong. I don’t know where they are getting their information from. I just kind of laugh at it.” Manning had a bounce-back season in 2014 playing in Ben McAdoo’s West Coast offence. He threw for 4,410 yards, 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while hitting 63.1 per cent of his passes. The previous season he had 3,818 yards, 18 touchdowns and a careerhigh 27 interceptions. The Giants’ offence struggled in the preseason opener last weekend, failing to get a first down in four series. Manning expects improvement this weekend against Jacksonville at MetLife Stadium.
ated by Tiger,” Scott said. “It happens everywhere he goes. You can tell how passionate the local people and everyone involved in the tournament here are about this tournament, and it means such a great deal to them to have Tiger Woods in the field. I think it’s fantastic.”
Coe named president of track governing body BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS fter a final promise to the international track and field community that he’d always be in its corner, Sebastian Coe won the election to replace Lamine Diack as IAAF president and took up the immediate challenge of restoring the image of a sport grappling with a doping controversy. The 58-yearold Coe received 115 votes to Sergei Bubka’s 92 in the poll Wednesday in Beijing, where the world championships kick off Saturday. Few doubted Coe’s commitment or credentials. He’s a two-time Olympic gold medallist in the 1,500 metres, is a former Conservative Party lawmaker in Britain and was integral in London winning the bid and then hosting a successful 2012 Olympic Games. He said he’d travelled 700,000 kilometres (435,000 miles) during the campaign to visit the national federations “in their backyards” and, unlike Bubka, was only running for the top job without the fallback option of vice-president. He praised Bubka for contributing to a campaign that “has given the sport a chance to pause for breath ... (and) renew itself.” “Elections are a good opportunity for the sport to sit and think about its future. I’m sure we’re stronger for having been through that process,” he said.

SLEDGE HOCKEY
Forward Tanner Fandrey of Red Deer, 29, is one of 30 players invited to the Canadian national sledge hockey team development camp Aug. 24-29 at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary. Following the development camp, players will be invited to the national team selection camp Sept. 27-Oct. 4 in Calgary. “Our focus during this August camp is really on development,” said Shawn Bullock, senior manager of hockey operations and national teams with Hockey Canada. “We have a great mix of veterans and young players. This is a first step for us to not only evaluate the group’s fitness levels and on-ice performance,
but to also invest in them to prepare us for a successful season ahead.” The players will be on the ice for daily practices and will take part in a scrimmage and participate in off-ice fitness training. Bullock confirmed that Ken Babey will return as head coach of Canada’s National Sledge Team for the 2015-16 season. He joined the team as head coach last November and helped Canada to a bronze medal at the 2015 World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Leduc and silver at the 2015 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. “With the profile of the sport and the profile of our sledge hockey program continuing to grow, the talent pool has grown across Canada, and with Ken Babey back behind the bench we look forward to a fantastic year ahead of us,” said Bullock.

Golf PGA TOUR WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP Site: Greensboro, North Carolina. Schedule: Thursday-Sunday. Course: Sedgefield Country Club (7,127 yards, par 70). Purse: $5.4 million. Winner’s share: $972,000. Television: Golf Channel (Thursday, 1-4 p.m., 7:30 p.m.-1:30 a.m.; Friday, 1-4 p.m., 9:30 a.m.12:30 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday, 11-12:30 p.m., 9 p.m.-12 a.m.) and CBS (Saturday-Sunday, 1-4 p.m.). Last year: Camilo Villegas closed with a 7-under 63 for a one-stroke victory. Last week: Australia’s Jason Day won the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin for his first major title. He finished at 20 under to break the record for major championships. Jordan Spieth was second, three strokes back. He took the No. 1 spot in the world.

Brennan honoured for play on both sides of Atlantic FIRST TORONTO FC CAPTAIN REFLECTS ON CAREER AS HE’S INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Jim Brennan left home at 17 to pursue his soccer dream. His original destination was Glasgow Celtic but the manager got fired on the eve of his arrival, ending the Scottish powerhouse’s interest. Despite the inauspicious start, it turned out to be the first major step of a Hall of Fame career that saw the winger/fullback make headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. Brennan found himself headed to Bristol City instead, turning heads with a goal against Tottenham that helped earn him a two-year deal. The native of Newmarket Ont., went on to play for Nottingham Forest, Norwich City and Southampton before returning home to become Toronto FC’s flagship player. Brennan, Kara Lang and Pat Onstad will officially be inducted into Canada’s Soccer Hall of Fame on Nov. 8 in Vaughan, Ont. The three players will be joined by Jim Hubay and the late John Kerr in the builder category. Also entering the Hall are George Anderson, in the pioneer category, and Montreal Carsteel as an “organization of distinction.” Brennan, 38, is already in the Hall as part of the 2000 men’s national team that won the CONCACAF Gold Cup. That squad was inducted last year as a “team of distinction.” “That’s something that will always live with you,” he said. “Because you go through life and a lot of times guys don’t win anything throughout their career. And I was fortunate that I got to win a few things.” Brennan also won the English Championship with Norwich, earning promotion to the Premier League. A player who usually had plenty to say and wasn’t shy about sharing, Brennan added sandpaper as well as competitive fire to his teams. In 1999, Nottingham Forrest spent a then-Canadian record 1.5 million pounds (C$3.1 million) to acquire him from Bristol City. “That was a great honour,” he said. In September 2006, he became Toronto FC’s first player signing. Also the club’s first captain, he chose playing at home over padding his bank account.

Jim Brennan left home at 17 to pursue his soccer dream. His original destination was Glasgow Celtic, but the manager got fired on the eve of his arrival, ending the Scottish powerhouse’s interest. Despite the inauspicious start, it turned out to be the first major step of a Hall of Fame career that saw the winger/fullback make headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. ”I’ve had to take a massive pay cut,” he said at the time. ”I could have stayed in England and made a lot more money, but I don’t mind. ”I had a great career in England. I made some good money. So for me now, it’s just coming back home and playing for Toronto. That’s all I wanted to do.” After retiring in April 2010 at age 32, Brennan became Toronto’s assistant general manager before working with the TFC academy and then becoming an assistant coach under Aron Winter. He left the club in August 2014 when
Toronto cleaned house, firing coach Ryan Nelsen and all but one of his assistants. He bears no ill-will. “In this job, people seem to forget you’re hired to get fired ... It’s football. It’s the nature of the beast,” he said. Brennan, an MLS all-star in 2008, logged 7,460 minutes in 84 games for Toronto, scoring four goals and four assists. As befitting his personality, he played through such injuries as broken ribs and a broken wrist. “I loved every single minute of it,” he said of his Toronto days. He remains linked to the club, the
first player to go up on the club’s Wall of Honour at BMO Field (it is a measure of the club’s checkered history that only Danny Dichio had joined him there). Brennan made his debut for Canada in April 1999 in Belfast in a 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland and went on to win 49 caps. Today the father of three is executive director of the Aurora Youth Soccer Club, which boasts 4,500 members. He went back to school to study business and is continuing with his coaching licences.
Briere cherishes time with Canadiens BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

B.C. Lions Alex Hoffman-Ellis tackles Edmonton Eskimos Chad Simpson during the fourth quarter of CFL football action in Vancouver, B.C..
Hoffman-Ellis hopes to shine as Lions take on Als BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. — Alex Hoffman-Ellis has been waiting a long time to get his first CFL start, but he didn’t want the opportunity to come this way. The 26-year-old Hoffman-Ellis will start in place of injured linebacker Solomon Elimimian, the 2014 CFL Most Outstanding Player and Defensive Player of the Year, as the B.C. Lions host the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday. “It’s bittersweet, because Solly is not only a great football player and a great leader, but a great guy,” said Hoffman-Ellis. “The only sweet part out of it is, I get to showcase (myself). Guys play football to get out on the field.” Hoffman-Ellis has platooned at linebacker and played on special teams this season after only getting into one game in his 2014 rookie season. Elimimian is sidelined six to eight weeks and possibly longer after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in a 5222 loss in Hamilton last Saturday. The Lions (3-4) are looking to redeem themselves after that humiliating setback, while the Als hope to end a three-game losing streak after dropping each game by three points. “We do need to respond with a lot of urgency, and we need to show what we’re capable of doing and just be consistent,” said Lions linebacker Adam Bighill. “If we have another soft game, it starts becoming who are, and that’s not
who we want to be and that’s not what we want to accomplish. So we’ve gotta get on the right track and the right road to where we want to go. “Solly being gone is unfortunate, but it is next man up and (Hoffman-Ellis) is a great player. He’s been learning a lot and he’s ready to play. So I don’t expect there to be too much falloff at all.” The Lions are looking to get off to a strong start after allowing Hamilton to get out to an early 21-0 lead from which they could not recover. Bighill, who likens his team’s plight to a season-long climb up a mountain, wants the Lions to show that they can handle adversity. “You can visualize whatever mountain you want,” he said. “But the thing is, every mountain’s going to have an upward battle that you’re going to crawl, run (or) walk up the whole year.” Lions coach Jeff Tedford does not believe the defence has a long climb back to respectability. He noted that Hamilton’s touchdowns included a return off an Andrew Harris fumble and a Bakari Grant punt return. “It wasn’t like they were giving up 80-yard drives or anything,” said Tedford of his defence. “So it was just a culmination of everything, really.” While the Lions look to avoid giving up another touchdown on special teams, Als returner Stefan Logan will attempt to show that B.C. made a “bad decision” by releasing him in
the off-season. Logan, 34, whose two stints with B.C. sandwiched an NFL tenure, has racked up 880 all-purpose yards this season, and his total return yardage (797) already exceeds his 2014 mark. Als coach Tom Higgins is not concerned about his team’s struggles in Vancouver. He just wants to make sure they don’t beat themselves. The same goes for Lions quarterback Travis Lulay, who will be supported by a new-look offensive line. Josh Aladenoye will make his CFL debut at the critical left tackle spot due to Tommie Draheim’s ankle injury. Lulay says he’s comfortable with the newcomer watching his blind side. “He has been here,” said Lulay. “He’s not completely off of the street. He’s been talking our language. He’s been in our system.” Ironically, Aladenoye, a 25-year-old Mesquite, Tex., native, gets the start after he was released from the practice roster following an on-field confrontation with Tedford but kept his apartment near the Lions practice facility. The Dallas Cowboys castoff was quickly re-signed after Draheim went down. “It means a lot to me,” Aladenoye said of the second chance. “I just want to come out here and help the team win in any way I can.” Lions backup linebacker Bo Lokombo, who grew up in the Vancouver area, is expected to get more action as a result of Elimimian’s injury.
VOORHEES, N.J. — When Daniel Briere chose to sign with the Philadelphia Flyers instead of the Montreal Canadiens in 2007, fans in his home province didn’t let him forget. Briere got booed mercilessly whenever he went back to Bell Centre wearing orange and black. “Every time I went back I wouldn’t let my mom come to the game,” Briere recalled. “I always found an excuse for her to be here in Philadelphia somehow.” In his third season with the Flyers, Briere let his mother come to a game. Constance Brunet met her son at the team hotel in Montreal that afternoon filled will nerves. “I came down to the lobby and she grabbed me and she gave me a hug and for the first time in my life, she said: ’I know I never ask you anything like this, but can you please score me a goal tonight?”’ Briere said. “And it’s the night I had the hat trick against the Habs. That’s always going to be a pretty cool moment in my life.” Briere, who announced his retirement Monday after 17 NHL seasons, will never forget Feb. 13, 2010, one of his five career hat tricks and his only one in Montreal. He’ll also never forget that, six years after he spurned the Habs in free agency, he got to play for the team he grew up watching. “I leave the game now and for the rest of my life now I can say I was a Montreal Canadien,” Briere said Tuesday. “When I go back home, I can say that I’ve played for the Montreal Canadiens, which is pretty cool, for me personally. I’m glad I experienced it.” Briere signed a US$8-million, twoyear deal with the Habs two summers ago and lasted just one season there before being traded to the Colorado Avalanche. The Gatineau, Que., native had 25 points in 69 regular-season games for Montreal and then another seven in 16 playoff games. But as with most of his career, Briere remembers that post-season, which was his fifth trip to the Eastern Conference final. Nothing stands out more than Game 7 against the Boston Bruins, when Briere had a goal and an assist in the Habs’ biggest victory of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs. “I had a lot of good moments against the Bruins for some reason,” Briere said with a smile. “Beating the Bruins in Game 7 again in their building, when we came back to Montreal that night, for the fans there it was like winning a mini-Stanley Cup. “Beating the Bruins is always special because of the rivalry. To experience that once in my life was something that I’ll cherish for a long time.”

Trendy ‘ugly veggies’ pack a health punch
DRS. OZ AND ROIZEN
chokes, aka “sun chokes,” look like potatoes with a self-esteem problem, but this ugly veggie adds juicy crunch to salads. Celery root is wildly hairy; but the veggie inside makes a tasty soup! They might temporarily increase your gas, but they increase your bacterial diversity, and unless you’re an elevator operator, diversity wins that competition for your health. These strange veggies are all sources of inulin — a fibre that’s a gourmet feast for good bacteria in your digestive system. ● Buy local. Local produce may not look as perfect as grocery-store goods, but often it’s fresher and riper. Being picked at ripeness and sold quickly often makes it a more nutritious and tasty choice. Another tip: Chat up growers at local farm markets; some raise their crops via organic methods even if they don’t have an official “organic” designation. ● Pair ugly fruit with gorgeous chocolate or wonderful red wine. So what if the peaches are lopsided, or the strawberries aren’t perfectly formed? Slice and serve with dark chocolate, and no one will notice. Turns out good bacteria in your digestive system breaks down chocolate into compounds that cool inflammation and pamper artery walls. Red wine (in moderation, of course) provides polyphenols that encourage the growth of good bacteria while discouraging the bad guys, keeping your personal microbiome in balance. Now, that’s beautiful! The YOU Docs, Mehmet Oz, host of The Dr. Oz Show and Mike Roizen of Cleveland Clinic, are authors of YOU: Losing Weight. For more information, go to www. RealAge.com.

Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
STORY AND PHOTOS BY ASHLI BARRETT/ ADVOCATE STAFF Get ready to be pulled in by vibrant colours and catchy musical numbers as the Cornerstone Youth Theatre takes on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s much-loved musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The full-scale production, which will open on Friday, tells the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours found in the Bible’s Book of Genesis. Unlike many musicals, however, this one features very little dialogue. It will be completely sung through by the 37-member cast. What’s more, the production is completely put together — costumes, choreography, music, sets and props — as the finale to a single, week-long teen theatre camp. Over 20,000 productions of the family-friendly musical have been successfully performed worldwide by schools and amateur theatre groups. Shows go on Friday at 7 p.m. and on Saturday at 3 and 7 p.m. at the New Life Fellowship Church (20 Kelloway Cres., Red Deer). Tickets are $7 in advance or $10 at the door and can be purchased in advance by phone and online, or at the door 30 minutes before show time. For more information on Cornerstone Youth Theatre’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, visit cornerstoneyouththreatre.org or call 403-986-2981.

A pickup truck was abandoned and used for target practice before it was set ablaze northwest of Rimbey on Wednesday. Rimbey Fire Chief John Weisgerber said they were called about 9:40 a.m. to a report of a truck on fire in the middle of a field. Weisgerber said that the truck was shot up before it was torched in a field about 20 km northwest of Rimbey. “They were having some fun, I guess, shooting their shotgun before they torched it,” he said. “We found quite a number of cases, let’s put it that way.” It’s believed the truck was stolen and RCMP are investigating.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?
A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet
a good solution for most people. This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

Nesting instincts I
n celebration of the joyous arrival of a new grandbaby into our family last week, I thought I’d write the month’s column about the wonders of bird nests and the miracle of bird babies. It is amazing how birds are able to build such sturdy and intricately woven nests, and seeing baby birds up close is always a thrill. And how remarkably quickly these little creatures grow — from tiny and helpless little balls of fluff to fledging in a just week or so. Yellow warblers are the most common warbler species found in Central Alberta. The female takes about MYRNA four days to build a small PEARMAN fortress of woven grasses, bark strips and plant material. She decorates the outside with plant material and spider webbing, then lines the nest cup with hair, feathers and plant fibres. Yellow warblers will often nest quite close to the ground, usually on the horizontal branch of a small shrub. They lay up to seven spotted grey or greenish eggs. Incubation is 10 to 13 days and the nestling period is nine to 12 days. Clay-coloured sparrows are one of our most common native sparrows but are easily overlooked because they are fairly nondescript and quite secretive. Clay-coloured sparrow nests are hard to find, usually hidden close to the ground in the dense lower branches of shrubs such as snowberry or rosebush. Over a period of two to four days, the female builds a little platform, then shapes the nest cup by turning around in the nest and arranging the rim with her bill. The nest cup is lined with fine grasses and animal hair. She lays four tiny blue spotted eggs, which she incubates for 10 to 14 days. The young are in the nest for seven to nine days. Interestingly, the nestlings leave the nest before they can fly. They hop out of the nest and run about 10 metres to cover, where the parents will continue to feed them. It will be another week before they actually fly. American robins are our most common back-

The females choose the nest sites, typically on a horizontal branch or atop a tree stump, but also in such unusual places as on tops of ladders, on outdoor light fixtures as well as on or in machinery. She builds her nest from the inside out, pressing dead grass and twigs into a cup shape using the wrist of one wing. She reinforces the cup using soft mud and then lines it with fine dry grass. She lays three to five blue eggs, which she incubates for up to two weeks. The young are in the nest for about 13 days. Eastern kingbirds are common black-and-white flycatchers, often seen sitting on fence or power lines. They nest in a variety of locations, including over water.
The female constructs a messy but very sturdy nest of small twigs, coarse roots, dry weed stems and strips of bark that she lines with softer materials such as fine rootlets, cattail down and poplar fluff. Nest building is a major undertaking, often taking up to two weeks. A clutch of two to five rustsplotched white eggs are laid. Incubation takes 14 to 17 days and the young are in the nest for 16 to 17 days. Note: Ellis Bird Farm closes this season on Sept. 7. There are still purple martins around the site, but they will be departing soon for their long journey to the Amazon. Myrna Pearman is the biologist/site services manager at Ellis Bird Farm.

A new hunting season awaits Slightly less than three months ago, when Albertans were still agog over what they had elected and freshly worried about the qualifications and experience of the new cabinet appointees, I received a startling wild bird call, a tweet, twitter or whatever. In Lethbridge, late the day before, this social media wag reported, Shannon Phillips, minister of Environment, Parks, and Sustainable Resource Development, had announced she was outlawing sport fishing in Alberta, effective immediately, and that there would be no public BOB input or consultation; end of SCAMMELL subject. Despite the clangor of my built-in BS Detector, I forwarded the message to one of my publishers, demanding dibs on the story, should it prove to be true. My slant would have been how fragile are our freedoms, despite feel-good sops like Alberta’s Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Act of 2008. Alas it was a hoax; but still I approached with trepidation the “Message from the Minister” in the 2015 Alberta to Hunting Regulations. No problem: Her honour followed the usual ministerial habit of saying nothing much in these messages, certainly announcing nothing radical unless it is this: “This longstanding tradition (hunting) has played an integral role in shaping our province’s social, cultural and economic heritage.” This being a sudden U-turn in governments and ministers, there might have been room in the ministerial message for hints of what the new government has in mind for festering wildlife problems, either caused by the old PCs or left to the NDPs to deal with, for example, the totally unethical, cruel and useless strafing from the air and poisoning of hundreds of wolves and other “collateral-kill” wildlife in the Little Smoky area, allegedly to save the caribou. This debacle is causing Alberta great problems in transporting and selling its energy products because great conservation organizations, like the National Wildlife Federation in the United States, know our caribou were not doomed by wolves, but by habitat destruction and fragmentation by the energy companies, encouraged by the Alberta government, and argue against our “dirty oil” and noodly pipelines at every opportunity. At three different locations in the Guide, we are given the sad numbers of the continuing numerical and geographical march of always-fatal chronic wasting disease through Alberta’s deer herds. In 2014, 86 heads of 4,163 tested had CWD: 74 mule deer and 12 white-tails, of which 71 were males and 15 were fe-

In approximately the CWD area, we have the problem of an out-of-control elk herd on Canadian Forces Base Suffield (Wildlife Management Unit 732). In 2014, we had all manner of seasons and special hunts to decrease or stop the increase of the herd, plus the controversy where First Nations hunters were the only ones permitted to harvest the magnificent trophy bulls on the base. Readers repeatedly ask how many elk, total, were taken in all these hunts, and so I have asked three times and received no response. Why? What don’t they want us to know? Surely the figures should have been published in this year’s Guide; they are a matter of hunter and public interest. Despite the fact that the cover boy of this year’s Guide is a fat greenhead mallard with his orange feet on ice, 2015 is the year of the elk in Alberta, especially in Prairie WMU’s in the vicinity of WMU 732 (CFB Suffield). The “Important Changes For 2015” section of the Guide notes that antlered and antlerless elk hunting seasons have been created in WMUs 162 and 163, probably to take advantage of spillover from Suffield. On the base itself, more antlerless elk special licence hunting seasons have been created and, more importantly, and finally, antlered elk special licence
seasons have been created for CFB Suffield, available to all (on a draw), not just First Nations. In all, I count 14 three-day elk seasons on CFB Suffield between Nov. 2, 2015, and Jan. 30, 2016. Were I not involuntarily retired from hunting, I’d have tried for a bull tag on the base or in one of the neighbouring WMUs. There are trophy bull elk down there the likes of which have never before been seen in Alberta. For example, Alberta Outdoorsmen’s 2014 Elk Hunter of the Year, Kent Waddell of Calgary, took a bull elk that scored an amazing 401 2/8 Boone & Crockett points in WMU 148 near Medicine Hat, much of it bordering WMU 732 and CFB Suffield. I can and do still smell the tang of gunpowder in the cooling air and it brings memories of this time of year: rousting my current Brittany from the cool basement under his house; doing a little refresher training for us both for the ruffed grouse season opener and, depending on how that went, maybe trying to murder a few clay pigeons to prepare for the Oct. 15 opening of pheasant season, then it’s sightingin rifles for the Nov. 1 opening of deer season … and so it went. … Bob Scammell is an award-winning columnist who lives in Red Deer.

Thinking about saving seed for next year? There are a few things to consider before starting. Seeds that are sold in packages are classified as hybridized or open-pollinated. Hybridized seed packages may or may not mention that the seeds are hybridized, a combination of different parent plants. The plant grown from hybridized seeds will come true or develop into the desired plant. There is no guarantee that the seed produced from these plants will resemble the parent plants. LINDA It is likely that the new plants, from saved seeds, TOMLINSON will be a product of recessive genes. This is true of most tomatoes unless they are listed as heritage. Open-pollinated plants are pollinated by insects, wind or rain. Seed developed from complete flowers contain both pistil and stamen, and usually produce plants that are similar to the parent plants as they usually self-pollinate. It is also important not to have other varieties of the plant in close proximity as they can and will cross-pollinate. Incomplete flowers such as melons, corn and squash rely on insects or wind to take pollen from one flower to the next. For this reason, it is recommended that certain distances be maintained between different varieties of plants that easily cross-pollinate. With some crops such as corn, this can be a problem. But others one will get reasonable or edible results regardless of cross-pollination. The results of saving these seeds will be the same as saving seeds from commercially hybridized seed. Chances are that the plants will be different from the parent plants, which may or may not be positive. Saving seed itself is relatively simple. Seeds are prepared in one of two ways, depending if the seed is considered wet or dry. Wet seeds are ones that are found inside fruit such as tomatoes, cucumbers or squash. Choose the best fruit and allow them to become overripe, allowing the seeds to mature. Then scoop out the seeds along with the surrounding wet material. Place the wet material into a container with some water. Stir the solution and continue to do so once a day until the pulp ferments on top and the viable seeds sink to the bottom. Remove the seed from the water and set the seeds out to dry on a screen or, if the seeds are small, on paper. Dry seed, like wet, should be taken from the strongest plant. Allow dry seed to stay on the plant as long as possible, harvesting just before the seeds are to be dispersed. If the season is ending, pick the seed pods and hang them in a warm dry room where the pods will mature and open. Paper bags can be placed over the seed heads to catch any pod that opens. Once seed is separated from the pod, spread it on a screen in a warm area to allow the seed to dry quickly. Once the seed is dried, it can be placed in sealed glass jars and stored in a cool area. Be sure to label all seed with the name and date. For small seeds or a small amount of seed, place them in labeled paper packages before placing them in a storage container. Placing a small package of silica gel in the container will help absorb any excess moisture but it is good to check the seeds for signs of spoilage after a few weeks.

Architect of trash talk DOCUMENTARY REVEALS HOW TALK-SHOW HOST PIONEERED LOUDMOUTH TV BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A man clears his throat and rages at the world. He claims to speak for everyday folks with conservative ideals and he savages anyone who challenges him. He is uncensored and high-decibel, an avatar of theatrics and must-see TV. He changes the terms of public discourse forever. A quarter-century after dropping from sight, Morton Downey Jr. can be felt all too vividly these days on talk TV and radio, even reality shows — not to mention the presidential campaign trail. What a great time to recall (or discover) this earth-shaking talk-show host. And what a fine portrait of him is Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie, which premieres Thursday on CNN. He exploded on the scene in 1987 with a syndicated talk show that shattered the decorum of Phil Donahue’s program and the genteel give-and-take of Meet the Press. Deploying a cavernous mouth stocked with a huge set of pearlies that inspired his program’s logo, Downey was raucous, raw, belligerent and derisive. From his studio in the workingclass locus of Secaucus, New Jersey, he baited and bad-mouthed one segment of his audience while, for his proto-dittoheads, he reigned as a populist rock star who claimed to identify “with their needs, with their dreams, with their frustrations.” But no matter how they took him, no one could turn away from this architect of what was promptly dubbed Trash Talk. After just two seasons, Downey selfdestructed and was off the air. But just that swiftly he had paved the way for the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and, arguably, Donald Trump. Produced and directed by Seth Kramer, Daniel A. Miller and Jeremy Newberger, Evocateur traces this blink-of-an-eye rise and fall with sass yet remarkable balance while drawing on a wealth of archival material. The film features vintage clips with guests including then-Congressman Ron Paul (to whom Downey bellows, “If I had a slime like you in the White House, I’d puke on you!”) as well as attorney Alan Dershowitz, attorneyactivist Gloria Allred and the Rev. Al Sharpton, who, a party to an onstage

Current-day interviews include conservative advocate Pat Buchanan; veteran broadcaster Larry King; former talk show hosts Richard Bey and Sally Jessy Raphael; Kelli Downey Cornwell, one of Downey’s four children from his four marriages; as well as members of his production team. These include Bob Pittman, who, fresh from creating MTV network, was looking for a new adventure and thought he’d found one in Downey, a struggling singer-turned-talk-personality on local radio and TV. “Until Mort came along, I think most talk-show hosts were needlessly polite, to the point of never getting the real issues on the table,” Pittman said. Until then, Downey had hardly set the world on fire. He was the priviBest Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Anthony Hopkins played Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a crazed, cannibalistic psychiatrist whose macabre clues help Clarice Starling, the rookie FBI agent played by Jodie Foster, track down and kill Buffalo Bill in his home. About that: The basement dungeon where Buffalo Bill kept one would-be victim, and where he was eventually killed, doesn’t exist. Those scenes were shot on a sound stage, Scott Lloyd said. Still, real estate agent Dianne Wilk is hopeful that the 1910 home’s spooky pedigree will attract rather than repel buyers. Wilk said she could even envision someone turning the house into a bed-and-breakfast with a horror theme. “People love to be scared,” Wilk said. “I could see somebody doing something fun with this.”
leged son of pop star Morton Downey, whose lilting tenor won him fame as The Irish Nightingale. Junior tried to make it similarly as a pop singer, and the documentary includes footage of him on a 1950s TV talent show competing for judges who include Dean Martin. Even more surprisingly, the Downey family was close to the Kennedys — literally, as next-door neighbours in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. As a dapper young liberal, Junior worked in Washington for Sen. Edward Kennedy. At the other end of Downey’s career, the film tracks his rapid descent as overnight success fueled more and more outrageous antics, both on and off the show. This peaked in April 1989 with an incident in a San Francisco Interna-
Yvonne Craig, who played Batgirl in the 1960s TV hit Batman, has died at 78 NEW YORK — Yvonne Craig, who played the sexy, crime-fighting Batgirl in the 1960s TV hit Batman, has died. She was 78. Craig died Monday at her Los Angeles home from complications from breast cancer, her family said. She began her career as a ballet dancer, the youngest member of The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, with which she toured for three years. Then she was discovered by Hollywood, appearing in a 1958 episode of Perry Mason and in the 1959 feature The Young Land. After that, she won dozens of roles
tional Airport men’s room in which he claimed to have been ambushed by neo-Nazis who painted a swastika on his face and attempted to shave his head. The incident turned out to be a desperate ploy by Downey to restore public favour, a hoax described in the film by an associate who helped him perpetrate it. Within a few more months, his show was history. Repeated attempts at a comeback failed. Then in 2001, the man who once had boasted of smoking four packs of cigarettes a day died of lung cancer after spending his last years as an anti-smoking advocate. “He was a very, very complex fellow — extraordinarily talented, extraordinarily tortured,” says Pittman. “We gave Mort a big platform, and on that platform he lost his way. Then it became one of the few shows in TV history where the producers cancelled their own show.” Evocateur closes with a final-credits spoof of the red-lipped title sequence from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” But moments before that, Downey is seen being interviewed by Today host Bryant Gumbel, who asks him, “Is this a passing fancy, or is this a front of the wave?” Before Downey can say, the film cuts to black. But every viewer of Evocateur already knows the answer.
in TV shows, as well as co-starring in two 1960s Elvis Presley films, It Happened at the World’s Fair and Kissin’ Cousins. But she was best known as Batgirl (and her alter ego, librarian Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordon’s daughter) in the 1967-68 season of ABC’s Batman. Another memorable TV role, from an episode of the original Star Trek : the green Orion Slave Girl who wanted to kill Captain Kirk. Her many other TV appearances included Dobie Gillis, 77 Sunset Strip, Dr. Kildare, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Mod Squad, Love, American Style, Kojak and The Six Million Dollar Man. In later years, Craig pursued various business ventures, but also did voiceover work, including the role of Grandma in the recent Nickelodeon cartoon series Olivia.

Oil hits six-year low MORE PAIN FOR CANADIAN PRODUCERS AS NEWS OF INCREASED STOCKPILES DRIVE PRICE DOWN BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Canadian oil sands producers faced tighter margins Wednesday after oil prices hit a sixyear low on news of increased stockpiles. West Texas Intermediate crude, the North American oil benchmark, went as low as US$40.46 a barrel in intraday trading after a U.S. Energy Information Agency report showed a 2.6-million-barrel increase in American oil inventories. Desjardins Capital Markets said in a research note that the analyst consensus called for a 400,000 barrel drop in inventories. The EIA also revised downward its price outlook for oil by US$6 a barrel for 2015 and US$8 a barrel for 2016 compared with last month’s forecast. The agency now sees an average of US$49 a barrel for 2015 and US$54 a barrel in 2016. In a research note Wednesday, Citigroup said that with oil balances pointing to further oversupply this year, a drop to the 2008 low of US$32.40 a barrel is a “conceivable reality.”
“There’s a lot of worry right now about the overproduction and storage concerns as we come off of summer driving season,” said Martin Pelletier, portfolio manager at TriVest Wealth Counsel Ltd. The drop in oil prices comes as Canadian producers struggle with a high discount to the U.S. benchmark after a major shutdown at a refinery that processes Canadian heavy oil, as well as pipeline disruptions. “As a result, the Canadian oil producers have just been hammered over the last couple of weeks,” said Pelletier. A report Monday by JBC Energy said oilsands viability is “on the edge” in current markets, with producers on average seeing profits of no more than US$5 a barrel. Sonny Mottahed, chief executive of Black Spruce Merchant Capital, said Wednesday’s low oil price combined with the discount means many producers could be in a negative cash cost position. “I think you have a serious cash flow crunch that’s going to be realized by producers across the board,” said Mottahed.
But he said oilsands production has become dominated by majors that are better suited to waiting out price fluctuations. “The oilsands is a big boys game and the big boys can endure a lot of pain, and they’re probably enduring some of that pain right now. And there’s probably more pain in sight.” Despite the tight financials, Canadian oilsands producers have little choice but to keep producing, said Peter Argiris, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie in Calgary. “The problem is, these companies just can’t stop producing. . . . They need to pay their bills, they need to ensure their bond covenants are not breached. So there’s a variety of reasons why companies need to produce.” But some companies have started to cut their highest-cost production, with Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. shutting-in 4,000 barrels a day of production “primarily in northern Alberta” because of the unfavourable economic conditions.
$12M home looks to buck trend CALGARY BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Luxury home sales in Calgary have taken a hit this year thanks to slumping oil prices, but that isn’t preventing Sotheby’s from listing a $12.25 million home today. The asking price for the 10,000-square-foot home, owned by Calgary developer Jim Quinn, is the highest the city has seen since 2009, says Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. Listing agent Corinne Poffenroth says she’s confident the mansion can sell despite Calgary seeing a 36 per cent drop in sales over the ‘PURCHASERS past year for homes priced at more than AT THIS (PRICE) a million dollars. POINT ARE NOT AS “We’re not expecting a typical IMPACTED BY DAYbuyer,” Poffenroth TO-DAY SHIFTS IN said in an interview. OIL AND GAS OR THE “Purchasers at ECONOMY. THEY’VE this (price) point TYPICALLY MADE are not as impacted by day-to-day shifts THEIR MILLIONS, AND in oil and gas or the USUALLY WE FIND economy. They’ve typically made their THESE BUYERS ARE millions, and usuPAYING IN CASH.’ ally we find these buyers are paying — CORINNE POFFENROTH in cash.” LISTING AGENT The home in the Aspen Estates neighbourhood, developed by Quinn’s company, features a two-storey, seven-car garage, an enclosed galleria leading to a carriage house, two powder rooms, and a 1,200-square-foot patio. The listing arrives on the market as luxury home sales have dropped from three per cent of total sales last year to 2.8 per cent so far this year while also making up a greater portion of listings, says AnnMarie Lurie, chief economist at the Calgary Real Estate Board. “There’s just more choice in that segment of the market,” said Lurie. “It just points to the fact that there’s just generally less activity.” The sales-to-listing ratio for homes in the millionplus range — which is an indicator of the health of the market — is at 26 per cent now, compared with 40 per cent last year, Lurie added. Completed sales of luxury homes are also down.

The Manor House in the Aspen Estates in Calgary is shown in this photo. Luxury home sales in Calgary have taken a hit this year but that isn’t preventing the listing of a $12.5 million home. Sotheby’s International Realty Canada says it’s the highest asking price for a house in the city since 2009. The listing comes as the number of homes for sale at over a million dollars in Calgary continues to climb while sales drop. As of the end of July, 15 homes had sold for more than $2.5 million compared with 23 homes last year. Of those, only one was sold for more than $4 million compared with three last year. Jim Sparrow, a Calgary real estate agent with Royal LePage, says “it’s obviously a little darker on the horizon than it was a year ago.” “It’s really not surprising,” he added. “There are people that just think the market’s going to go lower, and there’s fewer people coming into Calgary.” Nonetheless, the abundance of listings isn’t resulting in lower prices being paid for luxury homes
in Calgary, says Poffenroth. “We haven’t seen the drastic price reductions some of the buyers were expecting to see,” said Poffenroth. Home sales could pick up in the fall after the typically slow summer season, especially as buyers tire of waiting, she added. “Buyers are sick of waiting around for the price reductions that aren’t happening,” said Poffenroth. She said foreign buyers might also consider buying into the Calgary market with the drop in the Canadian dollar, adding she’s been getting more international inquiries.

BRIEF Energy Regulator responding to NuVista spill in northwestern Alberta CALGARY — A pipeline in northwestern Alberta has spilled about 100,000 litres of a mixture of water, oil and gas. Calgary-based NuVista Energy (TSX:NVA) owns the six-inch diameter oil emulsion pipeline, which leaked on the Hay Lake First Nation, about 100 kilometres northwest of High Level, Alta. On Friday afternoon, a helicopter crew doing regular daily inspection and maintenance work saw a “small area of stressed vegetation” along the pipeline route and the line was shut down immediately, NuVista said in a statement Wednesday. “Safety and protecting the environment are top priority at NuVista Energy,” said CEO Jonathan Wright. “Our staff train regularly for potential unexpected events. We responded within minutes as soon as we knew there was a problem.” NuVista said it was investigating what caused the leak. The five-kilometre pipeline runs from an oil testing facility to an oil battery. So far, there have been no reports of harm to wildlife. A two-metre-high fence has been put up to prevent animals from getting into the site. NuVista said Alberta Energy Regulator investigators and First Nations officials inspected the property on Sunday. The company said an initial survey indicates an area of about 110 metres by 120 metres has been affected.

MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — North American markets were lower Wednesday amid persistent uncertainty over the health of the Chinese economy. The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 157.24 points at 14,036.63, its sixth decline in the last seven sessions. Events in China continued to roil global markets amid fears the value of the yuan will continue to erode. Those fears prompted a wild ride on China’s Shanghai Composite Index, which plunged as much as five per cent before eventually closing up 1.2 per cent. The ripple effect was felt across several key commodities as oil prices plumbed multi-year lows, following an unexpected increase in U.S. crude inventories. October crude, which is now the heaviest traded contract, was down $1.85 at US$41.27 a barrel, while the September crude contract was down $1.82 at US$40.80 a barrel. Energy stocks were by far the biggest drag on the TSX, falling 4.3 per cent. In other commodities, natural gas edged up half a cent to US$2.71 per thousand cubic feet while copper lost a penny to US$2.28 a pound. Gold marched ahead $11 to US$1,127.90 an ounce, marking its biggest single-session rally in a week as the TSX gold sector rose 3.7 per cent. The Canadian dollar, which is sensitive to movements in key commodities, was down 0.31 of a U.S. cent at 76.28 cents US after having fallen below the 76-cent mark earlier in the session. In New York, markets were also off earlier lows as traders took in minutes from the latest policy meeting of the Federal Reserve Board for clues as to when the U.S. central bank may start to hike interest rates from current historically low levels. Minutes from the July meeting of the Fed showed a move closer to raising interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade, but there were concerns that a significant economic slowdown

Policy-makers also expressed concerns that inflation remains too low to justify an interest rate increase. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 162.61 points at 17,348.73, while the Nasdaq dropped 40.30 points to 5,019.05 and the S&P 500 lost 17.31 points to 2,079.61. After the Fed minutes were released, the probability of a rate hike in September dropped to 36 per cent from earlier estimates of roughly 50 per cent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “Conditions were not quite ready at this stage for Fed liftoff,” said Todd Mattina, chief economist and strategist at Mackenzie Investments. He said rate hikes would indirectly boost the U.S. dollar as interest rate differentials widened, along with the possibility other countries may try to follow China’s lead by devaluing their currencies. “All of these tightening financial conditions in the U.S. would be negative for U.S. inflation and potentially U.S. growth,” Mattina added.

Energy East pipeline could stress whales BY THE CANADIAN PRESS FREDERICTON — The company planning to build the Energy East pipeline says concerns raised in a new report about the potential impact of the project on whales and some fisheries in the Bay of Fundy are unfounded. A report released Wednesday by the Conservation Council of New Brunswick said noise from tanker traffic causes heightened levels of stress for the North Atlantic right whale, the most endangered large whale in the world. It said studies show that tanker traffic impedes on the whales’ ability to communicate, forcing them to “shout” over tanker engines and when the noise reaches a certain level, they are not able to communicate at all. “Right whales form social groups while in the Bay of Fundy, an important part of their life cycle, relying on their ability to communicate to form these groups,” the report by the council’s Matthew Abbott said. But Tim Duboyce, Energy East spokesman for TransCanada Corp., (TSX:TRP) said the council is just trying to replicate the issue that caused TransCanada to cancel plans for an export terminal in Cacouna, Que. The company said there were concerns for Beluga whales near the site, but Duboyce said the plan for a proposed export terminal in Saint John, N.B., is different. “First of all, the proposed Canaport - Energy East terminal and tank farm are not located near the critical habitat of the right whale in the Bay of Fundy at all,” he said. Duboyce said while the proposed terminal would see an extra 115 ship visits for the port each year, the traffic should not be an issue for the whales. “Those shipping lanes were shifted out of the habitat of the whales more than 10 years ago and there hasn’t been a single reported strike with a ship since then. The population of whales has shown signs of significant growth since then.” The council’s 22-page report said the Bay of Fundy’s world-famous tides and thick fog would make it difficult to clean up oil spills quickly. It provides examples of past spills in the Bay of Fundy, including an incident in February 2007 that was not assessed or tracked due to adverse weather and fog. It also said bitumen is likely to form into tarballs when mixed with salt water and sink, which could harm the region’s fisheries, such as bottomfeeding lobster and scallop.

me resentful. I feel cheated of a better relationship with all of them. Allowing these patterns to continue cannot be good for anyone. My husband refuses counselling. I am out of patience. Please advise. —Midwest Mom Dear Mom: You recognize that your husband is an obstruction to helping your children develop into mature, responsible adults. He isn’t willing to do the hard work necessary to change this dynamic for their sake. It’s selfish, lazy parenting. You cannot change him, but you can change how you respond, not only to the children, but also to your husband’s behaviour. Get counselling for yourself. Ask your doctor for a referral to someone who specializes in family issues, and if possible, bring your kids with you. Rest assured, they don’t want to be living like this 10 years from now. Dear Annie: I want to warn “Need Your Help,” the 66-year-old gal who has been with “Joe” since his wife died nine years ago. Joe is 75 and verbally abusive. He sounds just like my husband. Tell her to run, not walk, out of that relationship now. She says Joe is unwilling to change. I can assure her he will only get worse as he gets older. She is still young enough to do just fine without him. It might be hard at first for her to be on her own; but believe me, it will get better. Find a women’s group or join a church that is friendly and welcoming. There is help and support out there. Joe and his house are not worth ruining your life. — A Caring Friend Who Has Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dear Annie: I have been married for more than 25 years to a highly respected, professional man. He has always worked hard, rarely taking time off. My efforts to get him to vacation have not been successful. Although he no longer enjoys his work, he continues these habits MITCHELL to support the & SUGAR family. Our children are 19 and 22 and still live at home. The oldest graduated college but is extremely immature. In the past year, he has been in jail twice for intoxication and pot possession. He also lost a job due to an alcoholrelated incident. He found another position, but he rarely shows up on time. He doesn’t help around the house, is very messy and refuses all requests to contribute. He makes a student loan payment each month, but the rest of his small income goes toward fast food, tobacco and alcohol. Here’s the problem: I see red flags everywhere with our son but my husband refuses to deal with these matters. Instead, he keeps bailing him out. I feel strongly that our son needs a plan to become independent and accountable for his actions. My husband claims he doesn’t have time to talk to him. My children have no respect for my authority because any consequences I impose are always undone by my husband, who says he’s tired of me nagging him about it. My efforts to get my husband on board have exhausted me and made

BRIEF BERLIN — Police in western Germany are looking for thieves who broke into a store selling alcohol and stole the caps off 1,200 bottles of the popular Koenig Pilsener beer. Presumably the intent of the theft was to collect points for a prize contest. However, the thieves left the suds themselves untouched. Essen police said on Tuesday that the thieves broke into the shop in Muelheim an der Ruhr overnight on Sunday and stole the caps from the popular Pilsner. They kept those with points toward prizes like Bose speakers or a Black & Decker cordless drill, left dozens of “good luck try again” caps on the ground and didn’t drink a single beer, leaving it all to spoil. Given the number of caps removed, police say they assume that more than one person was involved in the operation. So far they have no suspects.
