PEOPLE ILLEGALLY DRIVING THEIR OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLES NEAR FALL CREEK ARE DAMAGING AN IMPORTANT BULL TROUT SPAWNING AREA
MIDDLE AND LEFT: These photos show erosion caused after offhighway vehicles (OHVs) stripped the ground of vegetation. The effect of OHV use and water created the large erosion ditches that go to Fall Creek. Government of Alberta employees did a survey of the Fall Creek trails a few years ago. The erosion is even worse now.

F
all Creek, an important spawning water for the beleaguered bull trout — a protected native fish and Alberta’s provincial fish — is being damaged by people illegally driving their offhighway vehicles into it. As well, the surrounding area is suffering from increased OHV traffic, enabled when logging in the area southwest of Rocky Mountain House started a few years ago. Why should anyone care about the bull trout? After all, it’s just a fish and there are other kinds of fish. And there’s lots of wilderness for all users. Actually, it’s about caring for native species that are MARY-ANN part of our living heritage in BARR this beautiful province, and it’s about the big picture — protect and respect the environment, or lose it. Joni Mitchell recorded Big Yellow Taxi in 1970 but her song rings as true today as it did back then, considering the growing pressures on Alberta’s back country. Will it be there for future generations or will pressures — largely from more and bigger off-highway vehicles (OHVs) travelling over upper rugged West

Country trails — cause irreparable environmental damage? Fall Creek, for the record, is colloquially known as Falls Creek because of the waterfalls on it. It has cold, clear water, which bull trout must have for spawning. The creek flows into the Ram River, which then flows into the North Saskatchewan River. An Alberta Conservation study found that Fall Creek is a key spawning stream for bull trout, and provides habitat for young-of-the-year and juvenile fish. “Approximately 10,000 juvenile bull trout were estimated to inhabit the 7.5 km of Fall Creek below the falls. Bull trout implanted with radio-transmitters in Fall Creek were tracked to overwintering locations in the Ram, North Saskatchewan and Clear-
water rivers, travelling 71.8 stream km.” As many Central Albertans know, these rivers are important and precious systems in our West Country that provide considerable, sometimes spectacular, backdrop to wildlife, recreation and industry. Bull trout, once known as dolly varden, have been classified as both sensitive and threatened under provincial legislation. They grow slowly, prefer cold water and spawn later than other trout. Spawning bull trout are seen as vulnerable to capture by bear, osprey and humans. If you happen to catch one, you must release it.

BRIEFS
Police chief still wants Alberta law aimed at excessive speedsters Edmonton’s police chief is renewing his call for Alberta to join at least three other provinces in bringing in legislation to address extreme speeding. Rod Knecht says in the last two years more drivers have been caught going as much as 100 km/h over the posted limit. He adds there’s also more excessive speeding on neighbourhood streets. Knecht has been pushing for a law similar to ones in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec that would allow police to seize the vehicles of any drivers going more than 50 km/h over the posted limit. The police chief says a new government at the leg-
islature provides an opportunity to reintroduce the issue. He also says such a law is more important than ever, because the situation is getting worse. Two people died within a 24-hour period in Edmonton this week due to drivers who appear to have been going way over the speed limit. “We’re not talking about people who have a little bit of a lead foot once in a while or are driving a little bit quick,” Knecht said Friday. “We’re talking about people that are just clearly ... abusing their privilege of having a driver’s licence and putting other people in danger.” A new law wouldn’t change anything for 99 per cent of drivers. Knecht said the extreme speedsters only make up a fraction of one per cent of drivers. Knecht says arrangement will be made to meet with new Transportation Minister Brian Mason in the near future.
Jean questions NDP byelection candidate on double dipping CHESTERMERE — Opposition Wildrose Leader
Brian Jean says he doesn’t think it would be right for the NDP candidate in next month’s Calgary byelection to collect a salary and a pension if he wins. Jean says that would be double dipping at taxpayer expense. Bob Hawkesworth was a New Democrat MLA in Calgary from 1986 to 1993. Now he’s running in the Calgary Foothills byelection that became necessary when former Tory premier Jim Prentice stepped down. Prentice took the seat in a byelection last October and retained it in last spring’s provincial election, but quit that night when it became clear the NDP had won. Jean says Hawkesworth will have to decide what to do if he wins on Sept. 3. “That’s up to Bob on whether he wants to receive ... a double dipping from the provincial government, which means a double dipping from taxpayers,” Jean said Friday. “I don’t think it’s appropriate. Certainly I would invite the public to respond to his decision on that.” Hawkesworth, who was also a Calgary councillor for 23 years, won the nomination over Anne Wilson, who came second to Prentice on election night.
STORY FROM PAGE A1
FALL CREAK: Under pressure They were once in 60 Alberta watersheds but are in only seven now. Wayne Crocker, based in Rocky Mountain House, a 26-year public lands staffer for the province, is backcountry co-ordinator for Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP). He said that concern has grown for the Fall Creek area, located about 30 km south and west of Rocky and Cow Lake, out along Hwy 752. “There are definitely some land management pressures in the area.” There used to be just an oil road into the area but within the last few years, Sunpine Forest Products, which holds a Forest Management Agreement with the province, started logging there. The company decided to improve the road a bit to accommodate logging trucks. An unfortunate side effect is that the recreation motorized crowd has more access into the area, although it’s illegal and dangerous for OHVs to use the road. Crocker said it’s a “windy, twisty, narrow mountain road” and to have OHVs on the road at the same time as logging trucks isn’t safe activity for the recreationalist. So Sunpine put up an authorized gate and signage. “But part of the problem now is the public — even though it’s well signed, well gated — people are finding ways to beat around and go around the gate, or find different trails to lead into the area using that road. “It’s become a real issue, and it’s not just a small number. Quite a few folks are actually finding their way in there.” Long weekends are especially bad, with more than 100 riders going into the area, and it’s expected it will be busy again come the September long weekend. But OHV users can expect to run into increased enforcement, Crocker said. Part of the problem is that OHV users have been going into the area since before it began to be logged. Years ago, there were fewer people and smaller OHV machines. There’s signage now that says the road is closed to the public for their own safety. It’s a matter of time before there are serious injuries between logging trucks and OHVs, said Crocker. The road is so narrow that it’s radio-controlled. Even half-tons have to communicate so they can get in and out safely. It’s a recipe for a collision — larger vehicles on the road have no ditch to go into if they encounter an OHV. Even a “little bump” with a logging truck likely means the OHV user is not going to make it, Crocker said. “I think if I had a message to the public, that if they do see signs saying that the road is closed it’s not just to inconvenience their recreational activity, it may be a safety or environmental issue. “I think that that is sort of the frustration with us. If people feel they can just get around something then it’s OK. It isn’t OK. They’re still in harm’s way.” Safety is one aspect of the problem. The other is the environmental side. OHV riders are driving through and along Fall Creek. Crocker points out this can come with a $25,000 fine. Driving on a closed road is also illegal.

This aerial photo depicts the damage that off-highway vehicles have caused in the Prairie Creek area, which is southeast off the Fall Creek area. The reddish colour is the result of the photo being taken through the helicopter’s bubble. Among other things, driving vehicles through creeks causes silt and mud, and damages spawning areas. “No matter where you’re talking about, a motorized vehicle in a fish-bearing stream isn’t going to be acceptable. “Because they found out that Falls Creek is such an important bull trout spawning area, the idea of having motorized vehicles in that water body, that creek, is a bad idea. Yes, there have been motorized vehicles in that creek,” Crocker said. Over a long period, OHVs have carved out a trail about 20 km along Fall Creek. “The trail actually crosses the creek numerous times back and forth, back and forth. “Maybe that wasn’t an issue when you had fewer OHVs but when you get hundreds of OHVs, then the impacts are up. They didn’t know back then that was an important bull trout spawning area. ... Now that we know all these things, it’s hard to condone it.” OHVs have stripped the vegetation off the trail. Time and water and lots of OHV use have caused major erosion ditches that all lead to Fall Creek. Crocker has been going into the Fall Creek area for some time. “I was horrified 20 years ago. “It’s been not good for a long time. ... I see changes to legislation to help protect those sites and we are moving forward, albeit at a slow pace, but I do see we’re stepping in the right direction. “I think public awareness about being in water bodies, the importance of watershed and environmental damage is starting to be more spoken about. People seem to get it more than in the past.” This year has seen increased enforcement in the

Fall Creek area as AEP has about 12 seasonal park rangers and full-time conservation officers enforcing the Public Lands Act and other legislation, Crocker said. “Every weekend that goes by there’s more tickets issued and I’m sure there’ll be a lot more on the long weekend.” The elements of education, signage and enforcement have to work together and the vast majority of people understand that some of their activities may not be a good idea. They are open to the idea of education, said Crocker. “That will cover off most of the people who want to go out there and recreate with motorized vehicles.” But there is a small percentage who don’t want to have any real rules. “I think that they’re willing to take their chances with legal implications of not doing the right thing.” Crocker said there is potential for a proper trail system to some day be developed in the area. “But just right now we’re not in any position to do that kind of planning and we don’t have, I don’t think, enough legislation to actually do all of the protection we need right now. “We’re just not quite there yet and so we’re struggling with the present realities of that and many other areas actually. “There’s more and more OHVs, and they’re getting bigger and bigger, so the impacts are not going away.” barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Nova Scotian thanks dispatcher for carbon monoxide warning CALGARY — A grateful man flew from Nova Scotia to Calgary to say thanks to a home security dispatcher for saving his family from carbon monoxide poisoning. Last spring, Reza Kashiloo says he was hosting relatives in Dartmouth as a storm dumped piles of snow on his home, blocking a vent. Kashiloo and his six guests were asleep when the home’s carbon monoxide detector activated, sending a signal to ADT’s Calgary monitoring centre. Karen Vastag in the call centre alerted Kashiloo to the danger and contacted the local fire department. She told him to to get his relatives away from the source of the carbon monoxide. When a fire crew arrived they ventilated the house until it was safe. “Myself, along with my family, we are all thankful,” Kashiloo said Thursday.

EDMONTON — One of five inmates who overdosed this week in an Alberta prison has died. Ryan William Witvoet, who was 31, was found unresponsive in a cell at the maximum-security Edmonton Institution on Thursday. Officials have yet to determine the cause of his death or what drug the prisoners ingested. Acting deputy warden Mark Otto says officials aren’t ruling out fentanyl, a drug that has killed hundreds of Canadians in the last few years Otto says one inmate who overdosed remains in hospital in stable condition. Three others were treated in hospital and returned to the prison. Witvoet has been serving a six-year sentence for various crimes, including property, weapons and driving offences.

Kevin and Becky Traptow clean up their coffee business for the second time this week after vandals broke into their double decker bus on Ross Street. Late Tuesday or early Wednesday morning someone broke the windows on the bus and stole a number of bottles of beverage syrup. Thursday night or early Friday morning someone hit the bus again, this time breaking more windows and generally making a mess inside and outside the business. The coffee shop did not open Friday but was to return to regular hours of operation this morning.

A popular Red Deer coffee stop had to close its doors for one day on Friday due to vandalism. Kevin Traptow, owner of Traptow’s Cool Beans Coffee Company, a large red English double-decker bus downtown, said they were broken into twice this week. He said he and his wife, Becky, had never had problems before at their location of the past three years at 4740 50th St. Sometime Tuesday night to Wednesday morning, someone broke a window in the bus and stole bottles of syrup, maybe thinking they were alcohol, Traptow said. “We found a bunch of needles and garbage everywhere. ... We thought it was kind of a one-off. The police came and (Central Alberta AIDS Network Society) came out and picked up the needles and we cleaned everything up.” Then on Friday morning when Traptow arrived at 7 a.m. to open the business, he found it had been vandalized again. “It was pretty much the same thing except they smashed another window and they basically kind of destroyed the inside of the bus. They didn’t get into the bus but they reached through the window and threw everything everywhere. There was syrup and glass and coffee beans and straws and napkins everywhere inside and out. “It was vandalism,” he said. “Obviously, unfortunately, we have to beef up security. “We should have everything going by Saturday.” It should have been Food Truck Friday but that was cancelled because of heavy rainfall. “It was a probably a good thing it happened when it did. It gave us a chance to clean everything up.” Traptow said business has been good and it’s been a busy summer for the seasonal business. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Former legal adviser says he thought PM OKed Duffy deal OTTAWA — Stephen Harper’s former legal adviser says he was kept in the dark about many of the dealings between the Prime Minister’s Office and Mike Duffy, but Benjamin Perrin told a court on Friday that he thought Harper himself approved a deal. Perrin said he took the now infamous “we’re good to go from the PM” line from the prime minister’s then-chief of staff Nigel Wright to mean Harper had reviewed a 2013 plan to get Duffy to repay his expenses and had given the go-ahead. The plan, among other things, would have seen the party foot the bill for the expenses and the senator would say publicly he had made a mistake. Not that there was anything wrong with that arrangement, Perrin told the court. Under cross-examination, he said that if there was anything illegal or improper, he would have spoken up, The question of how much Harper knew about Duffy’s expense saga before it burst into the public spotlight has dogged the prime minister for years and continues to follow him on the campaign, He insists he first learned of Wright’s decision to cover the expenses himself through media reports and his understanding had been that Duffy would write his own cheque. Harper has also said only Wright and Duffy knew of the payment, but Perrin cast doubt on that in earlier testimony, saying Harper’s current chief of staff, Ray Novak, was part of a conference call where it was discussed. Wright earlier testified that Novak had only popped in and out of that conversation. And Wright
Judge reviewing sentencing submissions for crime spree BY MURRAY CRAWFORD ADVOCATE STAFF A Red Deer judge has more than two months to decide on a sentence for a man convicted of 23 charges from a crime spree that including two home invasions last fall. Lance James Peters, 25, pleaded guilty on March 25, to a series of crimes over a two-week period in September and October 2014. Both Crown Prosecutor Wayne Silliker and defence counsel Calvin Barry of Toronto, called the spree drug-fuelled on Friday in Red Deer provincial court. At the time Peters was using crystal meth, cocaine and other substances and would break-in to residences, steal items, sell them and finance the purchase of more drugs. Silliker said Peters terrorized Central Alberta and was sought by all Alberta police detachments during the spree that started in late September. Barry pointed out that no person was physically injured during the string of offences. The string of crimes started with a break and enter and the theft of property, including a firearm. Then Peters’ string of crimes gained steam in October with another break and enter and theft. But it was on Oct. 9, that the string of crimes became a spree. Peters committed four different break and enters on Oct. 9. Two of which Silliker said should be classified as home invasions as there was a person inside the residence and Peters threatened them. In the first home invasion, Peters broke in to a residence with a hammer and threatened the resident. He took the keys to a van and attempted to flee. The victim flagged down some neighbours, who Peters also threatened with a hammer. Later that same day, Peters committed a second home invasion this time using a pipe to break-in and threaten a resident. Then on Oct. 11, Peters was in a vehicle and pulled over by police. When an officer goes to talk to Peters the officer notices Peters reaching for the gear shifter. The officer sprays Peters with pepper spray, and Peters shifts into gear, smashes a police car, nearly hits a police officer and flees. Peters was eventually arrested on Oct. 16. Silliker said a sentence of 13 years and 10 months would be an appropriate sentence, taking into account the spree nature of the offences and the home invasions. Silliker also sought a seven-year driving prohibition, a lifetime weapons prohibition and an order for Peters to provide a sample of his DNA. Barry focused on what he called “glowing” reports developed after the guilty pleas. Saying his client realizes the impact he had, noting his client has significant community support from friends and family, is a hard worker with a job ready for him upon his release and a combination of mental health issues and addictions that fuelled the crimes. Barry instead sought a sentence of three years and 51 weeks, after taking into account Peters presentence custody. Judge Jim Hunter said he would need time to review the submissions as the two sides were roughly nine years apart on sentencing. Peters’ will learn his sentence on Oct. 30 in Red Deer provincial court. mcrawford@reddeeradvocate.com
Duffy trial follows Harper on campaign trail
said he told Harper was that he was going to get Duffy to repay in order to set a precedent that errant senators would be held accountable, but didn’t go into specifics. Wright told the court he didn’t lie to the prime minister, but just didn’t think he needed to hear the details. “We’re good to go,” came after that conversation. Perrin said there was a lot Wright didn’t tell him either, including details of conversations he was having with Duffy at the time Perrin was supposed to be helping negotiate the terms of the deal. “As counsel in the matter, I was clearly left in the dark and my client was not informing me,” Perrin said. “This is not a proper way to conduct a legal matter.” Perrin also testified he had understood that the arrangement — including the proviso that a Deloitte audit into Duffy be called off — was prompted by a set of demands from the senator. Duffy faces 31 counts of fraud, bribery and breach of trust and the issue of deal speaks to the element of bribery. While Wright was not charged with giving Duffy the $90,000 to repay his expenses, the Crown alleges Duffy tried to extract the cash by setting the terms. But the court has also heard that some of the proposals in the plan came from the Senate’s internal economy committee, not Duffy. They included calling off the audit. Court was told Perrin was uncomfortable with that element and spoke up, hoping it would signal to Wright he wanted off the case. “It was a very awkward position I found myself in and I didn’t like it,” he said. “Lawyers act for all kinds of people.‘
MOVING
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Mike Duffy inferno grew ever closer to breaching Stephen Harper’s firewall Friday, but with the trial nearly over and the 11-week election campaign just ramping up, the prime minister appeared convinced it would burn out on its own. Harper nearly had the campaign trail all to himself — Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe was the only other one of the five main party leaders holding public events — but the Duffy questions just kept coming. Harper’s former legal adviser testified Friday that he believed Harper himself had approved a five-point plan by former chief of staff Nigel Wright to compel Duffy to repay $90,000 in dubious expenses — a plan that eventually resulted in Wright himself footing the bill on the senator’s behalf. Benjamin Perrin testified earlier in the week that Harper’s current chief of staff, Ray Novak, was present on two occasions when Wright’s payment was discussed — contradicting assertions from Harper and the Conservative campaign about what Novak knew about the repayment scheme. Perrin said he took the now infamous “we’re good to go from the PM” line from a Wright email to mean Harper had reviewed a 2013 plan to get Duffy to repay his expenses and had given the go-ahead. The trial is set to wrap next week. When asked Friday why he still has confidence in Novak — his current chief of staff — Harper turned to a well-worn message: “There are two people who are responsible for the actions here,” he said, meaning Duffy and Wright.

CANADA Veteran ombudsman quietly reappointed by Tories OTTAWA — The Harper government quietly extended the term of the country’s veterans ombudsman on the eve of the federal election and handed out a series of appointments for an important, if often criticized, review agency. Guy Parent, whose served as an advocate for exsoldiers and an adviser to the veterans minister, was given a three-year extension to his mandate in a cabinet order dated July 28. He was chosen to replace outspoken retired army colonel Pat Stogran in 2010 — a five year term, which was supposed expire in November without renewal. The Veterans Review and Appeal Board saw three appointments on the Friday before the election, including a one-year term extension for a P.E.I. woman whose husband had once lobbied embattled Sen.

Zoom zoom go the zoomers I decided to get a little more exercise this summer. Well, OK, my doctor told me I had to get a lot more exercise quite a while before this summer. “Sitting is the new smoking,” he said, after quizzing me on my sedentary lifestyle that involves me parking myself at a computer approximately 83.6 per cent of every day. Except when I’m potato-ing HARLEY on the couch, HAY um, “researching” what’s on TV as part of my job writing sarcastic things about TV. “But my Better Half and I don’t have a dog anymore,” I would say to Dr. P. “We’ve had at least one or two dogs and one cat ever since we were married 139 years ago, and now they are all gone and so they don’t ask to go for walks anymore,” I add. “And so I don’t really go for walks anymore.” Dr. P. just shakes his head and I can tell he would prescribe some Don’t Be Quite So Stupid pills for me if he had any. So I tried my Rotten Kid’s bike. He’s over six-feet tall and trim and fit — the mirror image of his old man (who is delusional, obviously, har har) — and the RK zooms around on his bicycle effortlessly. I borrowed it so I could get some exercise by riding to my favourite pub, which is a 45-minute walk away from my place, which is much too far to walk so that I can defeat the purpose by having beer and pizza. But on a bicycle? A perfect way to beat the calories and whip up some fitness all at the same time. Only it wasn’t that perfect, in the sense that I nearly had a fatigueinduced heart attack from pedalling. Who knew that modern bicycles took so much effort compared to the bikes of my youth? So for an extended period sitting and intensely thinking about it, I decided what I needed was … an electric bike. You know, so I could pedal until I’m tired (approximately one half block or 50 metres, whichever comes first) and then kick in the electric motor and zoom happily along to my destination, flush with the knowledge

that I’m getting some much-needed exercise on a bicycle. See how easy it is for people like yours truly to circumvent the truth when it comes to exercise and diet, and general physical and mental abilities? Be that as it may, I set upon to sit upon my derriere in front of the computer to do some intensive research by Googling “electric bikes etc.” After many sessions sitting and learning about the “technical challenges” (i.e. some of them don’t work so well), and the outrageous prices (the ones that do work OK are several thousand dollars), I sat some more and went on Kijiji and Ebay and Amazon and How to Exercise Without Moving and various other interweb sites and discovered that in actual truth, if I wasn’t kidding myself, what I really wanted was a motorcycle. Or perhaps a small car. A topless car, so that the wind ruffling what’s left of my hair would make me think I’m doing something physically useful. So I filed that intensive research information away in the Dumb Ideas for Another Day file in a dusty corner
of my dusty brain and then, as the universe so often does when you’re not looking, it brought to me what I had been wishing for. A trip to Hawaii! Just kidding of course, the universe hardly ever brings something you really really want, but out of the blue I was chatting with friends at a barbecue just the other day and low and behold it turns out my friend Marion had just purchased a used electric bicycle, and since they were going away on a holiday, would I like to try it out for a week or two? BAM! Do you know the definition of a “zoomer?” A zoomer, as defined by Canadian media mogul Moses Znaimer, is “the demographic of active baby boomers over 45 years of age.” He created a popular magazine (aptly named Zoomer Magazine) and TV channel (TheZoomer TV, of course), through which he champions active boomer-zoomers by encouraging healthy living and highlighting zoomer humour, politics and sports, and everything else except accepting any of my wacky writing stuff that I send in to his magazine. Point is, I was fully prepared to be-
come a full-fledged, genuine authentic zoomer by zooming around on the electric bike. Here’s the thing. Turns out, I still had to pedal. Like, a lot. At first I was zooming along enough to make my eyes water and to imbed bugs into my teeth on account of I was smiling a lot. But then, by the end of the street, the zooming turned into a sort of grinding, and then a buzzing and then grunting and wheezing, as I realized that most of the motor had to come from me instead of the 10-kg battery that was dying almost as quickly as I was. So although I’m having a lot of fun riding to the end of the block and back on the electric bike, I think I have a better solution to the sitting problem. I’m going to program my phone to play O Canada every 30 minutes. At least standing up regularly is a step in the right direction.

We need to find hope, not gratification “Do you have a moment to speak with me?” This came from a young woman who had come for the soup lunch for the first time. So as soon as I was able to get the serving line under way, I sat down with her. With all the items she was carrying, I assumed she was on the move, so CHRIS I began the conSALOMONS versation (after introductions) with questions as to where she came from, what brought her here, etc. Within three or four minutes, I detected in this young person a paranoia and a great deal of fear, and in the following 15 minutes I understood that I would not really be able to help other than to empathize with her. She already had a residence in Red Deer,

I began to realize that all along I have been asking the wrong questions, not that I’m not interested where they came from and what brought them here, but more — where are they going? I also realized that during our conversation I had pegged and labelled this young woman as a mentally handicapped person, and with that labelling almost pegged her future as well — a future without hope of getting better or being able to break away from the cycle of paranoid reasoning. In other words, a loser especially by today’s societal (of which I am a part), standards. Do you realize that with all the intelligence we have and all the research that has gone into mental health, we know almost nothing about how (without drugs) to correct mental disorders?

Many of the folks who frequent the kitchen have disorders ranging from very mild to extreme. Some are from birth, others are self-induced, or are the result of traumatic experiences early in life. What society loves to do is give everything a label or a name, and we all fall victim to that way of identification. As in the case with the above young woman, a fellow worker in the kitchen who had also spoken with this person came back and emphatically stated that this young woman was a paranoid schizophrenic. In other words, we know the labels, but very little about the origins or the means to successfully treat it. Just about the only method is the use of drugs. We are so familiar with the usage of drugs, and our children learn the same familiarity and take it a step further. So it is easy to see why they also take so readily to the drugs on the street.

In the pursuit of these fleeting pleasures, we discard our most valuable resource, people. My faith is built on two basic tenets: love God and love your neighbour as you love yourself. Nowhere does it say to focus on self-gratification. As a matter of fact, if we do focus only on ourselves then we have to toss out or ignore the first two tenets, rendering faith inoperative. If my love for myself means that I provide for my own well-being, then it should be the same for my neighbour. Plus, I am making the assumption that if we all lived like that, we would see a lot less mental disorders manifesting themselves. A pipe-dream? Maybe, but I like to think it could work and that our futures could be brighter because of it. Chris Salomons is kitchen co-ordinator for Potter’s Hands ministry in Red Deer.

Trade deal push raises ante Politics — American politics — will make the Trans-Pacific Partnership an election issue in Canada. U.S. President Barack Obama wants to make the TPP one of his signature accomplishments. But to do this he needs to get an agreement before the U.S. Congress soon — with September now the goal. That means Prime Minister DAVID Stephen HarpCRANE er will have to make some hard decisions just weeks before Canada’s election day. The opposition parties face hard choices on TPP as well. The election outcome in Canada could hinge on this in a close race. Under the Trade Promotion Authority, Obama must give Congress a 90-day notice that a deal has been reached, and Congress must approve the agreement before he can sign it. If he wants to do this in 2015, he needs an agreement by September, so there will be intense pressure on Canada to come to

commit on agriculture as well as other contentious issues. The Obama administration is concerned that if negotiations drag on beyond September, then Congress will have to deal with the TPP next year. Since it will be a hot election year, the fear is that the votes narrowly cobbled together for Trade Promotion Authority will not be there to approve a TPP deal. For Harper, there are pluses and minuses with the September goal. The plus is that he could boast that with the TPP Canada will be part of the largest free-trade zone in the world. The most compelling reason for Canada to be in the TPP, though, is a defensive one — if Canada is not in the TPP then our exporters, TPP supporters contend, will be disadvantaged, compared to the U.S., in selling into Japan and the other 10 TPP markets. The minus factor for Harper is that he will have to make concessions not only on supply management dairy, egg and poultry products, but also accede to U.S. demands that could raise prices of pharmaceutical products and delay cheaper generics, threaten the future of the auto industry in Ontario and make major changes in how Canada deals with the Internet, copyright and other digital issues. “It is clear that the TPP will suc-
ceed only if solutions are found to the disputes in four politically sensitive areas,” says Jeffrey Schott, a veteran trade policy analyst at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. These are: market access, especially for agricultural products; exceptions to overall obligations for state-owned enterprises; rules of origin for autos; and intellectual property protection, especially for the pharmaceutical industry. Based on Canadian commentary, you would think that Canada’s supply management system is the main TPP stumbling block. But it is only one part of the negotiation on agricultural products. U.S. protectionism on sugar is also at issue. And agriculture is just one of the contentious areas. According to Schott, “U.S. officials want to limit additional U.S. imports of sugar and dairy products to levels that could be accommodated under existing U.S. farm programs. Canadians want to do the same under their supply management programs.” Australia is demanding greater access to the highly protected U.S. sugar market and New Zealand wants greater access for its dairy products. Canadian critics of supply management overlook the fact that the U.S. protects dairy farmers and guarantees them a minimum price. Vincent H.
Smith, a professor of agricultural economics at Montana State University, claims as well that “the new dairy margin protection income support program guarantees that most milk producers will receive revenues in excess of their costs.” This, he claims, “could well cost taxpayers as much as US$4 billion to US$5 billion in some years.” Since the U.S. approach has no limits on production, it faces a perennial challenge of excess supply. It wants to be able to dump that excess in Canada, to the detriment of Canadian dairy producers. With the Harper government eager for the TPP, the Conservatives would have to explain the concessions they have made, not just on supply management but on the future auto industry, drug prices, digital policies and other areas. But this is not just a problem for Conservatives. The NDP and Liberals would also have to state their positions, including whether or not they would implement a deal negotiated by the Conservatives. Should an agreement be reached in September to meet Obama’s political needs, each of our political parties will have to make some hard decisions before our own October election.

the lavish government spending that keeps the Saudi population happy, and the government is also involved in an expensive war in Yemen. The missing income has mostly been replaced by withdrawals from the country’s huge foreign reserves, estimated a year ago at $700 billion — but those reserves have fallen by $65 billion in the past year. The Saudis don’t want to run those reserves down too far: without them, it could not afford to play the role of “swing producer,” and would lose most of its diplomatic clout. So last week, for the first time in eight years, Saudi Arabia started selling government bonds, planning to raise $27 billion by the end of the year. The strain is starting to show. The strain of this attritional battle is also showing in the United States, where various shale oil producers have cancelled or postponed new drilling projects. But the shale producers have consolidated into bigger companies and increased the efficiency of their production processes, and U.S. oil production is actually continuing to grow this year. It is now at about 90 per
cent of Saudi production. The brutal fact is that the Saudis are losing this battle. When the U.S. was the biggest producer of oil, before about 1970, it was the swing producer. Within a few years, it will have overtaken Saudi oil production and will be the swing producer again. And there is nothing Riyadh can do about it. The Saudis made two mistakes. The first was to overestimate the cost of U.S. shale oil production, and assume that any price below about $80 per barrel would make it unprofitable. There are some shale oil plays for which this is true, but the costs vary wildly, according to the local geology, and can be as low as $20 per barrel. Most shale oil is profitable at $60 per barrel, and that proportion is rising rapidly as consolidation proceeds and efficiency rises. Their other, bigger mistake was to believe that victory was possible at all. When you stop production from a conventional oil well, there is a large permanent loss of flow when you restart production. The pores in the oil-bearing rock clog up, and that permanently reduces the “bottom-hole” pressure
that forces the oil to the surface. Stopping production at a shale-oil site incurs no such loss, since the producers create the pressure themselves. Uncap it, and the flow resumes as before. So even if the Saudis succeeded in forcing most of the shale-oil sites to close, the shale producers would just turn the flow on again as soon as Saudi Arabia declared victory and cut production to get the price of oil back up. It will take a little more time to the Saudis to acknowledge their mistake, and they may not even be able to get the price back up to where they need it by cutting production. American production will continue to rise, and Iranian oil will probably also be coming back on the market in a big way by next year. The Saudis will stay rich, but they will have to cut their spending and they will suffer a permanent loss of influence. Their only consolation will be that Iran, which they see as their greatest enemy, won’t be able to use its oil to buy influence either. Gwynne Dyer is a freelance Canadian journalist living in London.
Fracking winning, Saudis on defence “No one can set the price of oil. It’s up to Allah,” said Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi in May. But less devout people believe that Saudi Arabia has been trying very hard to set the price of oil — and to set it low. Moreover, it has been remarkably successful, because last week the price of oil was in the mid $40s per barrel, down from just over $100 last May. But GWYNNE Riyadh is not DYER achieving its objective. Saudi Arabia, like any oil producer, likes a high price for its oil, but since it is very rich and has huge reserves, it thinks long-term. Watching American oil production almost double in the past seven years, mainly thanks to the rapid rise of fracking, the Saudis could see that they risked losing their role as the “swing producer” who can raise or lower the oil price just by cutting or increasing its own production. The only way Saudi Arabia could keep that role was to drive the American frackers out of business. Production costs are secret in the oil world, but the Saudis assumed that the injection of water, sand and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure makes hydraulic fracturing — fracking — very expensive. So the Saudi strategy is to keep its own production high in order to push the oil price down. If the price stays low enough for long enough, high-cost producers like the frackers will have to close down. Then, once the competition had been eliminated, Saudi Arabia jacks the price back up by cutting its own production, and the glory days return. In the meantime Saudi Arabia is losing income too, of course, and oil revenues account for 90 per cent of the national budget. It can live on savings for a while, but it needs a fairly quick win. It would be politically unwise to cut

Young students with diabetes need equal treatment BY JAN HUX SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE For parents of kids with diabetes, the beginning of each new school year brings not only the usual preparations, but also fears for their child’s health and safety. This is especially true if their school or school district does not have a policy to ensure staff are knowledgeable about diabetes, know how to prevent emergencies, and are able to assist students with daily diabetes tasks. Type 1 diabetes affects more than 34,000 Canadian children under the age of 19; another 1,800 have Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is when the body is unable to produce insulin, a hormone that controls blood sugar. It has no known cause or cure and usually begins in childhood, and is the most common diabetes in children. Type 2 diabetes is the most common among all people with the disease, where the body either cannot effectively use or produce enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood, although more children and adolescents are being diagnosed. Most students can manage their dia-
betes independently or with minimal support, and they can fully participate in school activities, including gym, field trips and celebrations. However, some, especially very young children with Type 1 diabetes, may need trained personnel to help administer insulin, monitor blood sugar levels or supervise food intake and activity. Students with diabetes may also need flexibility in school rules to prevent low or high blood sugar, and, in some cases, may also need help with recognizing “lows” and “highs.” A supportive school environment is critically important for keeping children with diabetes safe and healthy. Proper diabetes management reduces the risk of life-threatening emergencies, prevents or reduces the risk of serious long-term complications, such as heart disease, limb amputation, kidney failure and blindness, and ensures that students with diabetes are able to learn and participate fully in school activities. Yet only five provinces have guidelines for children with diabetes at school: Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec and British Columbia. Ontario recently formed a working group to address
this issue and other jurisdictions have signaled their interest in forming such policies. At the school-board level, some boards and even individual schools have developed policies, leading to a patchwork of different care standards among school districts, and even among schools in the same district. Many schools and districts have no diabetes policies in place at all. It is important that all children with diabetes be afforded the same protections and given the same opportunities to succeed, no matter where they live or attend school. It is a team effort to enhance the health, safety, emotional well-being and participation of each student with diabetes. Everyone has a role in the care of the student to ensure a safe and healthy school experience. Parents and guardians need to notify the school of the diagnosis and meet with the school to develop an individual care plan (ICP) so the necessary supports are arranged. School personnel need to participate in annual diabetes education, training and resource review to learn how to manage diabetes, including emergency procedures. Health care providers act as resources to the schools and assist in creating the
student’s ICP. But perhaps, most importantly, our provincial governments need to make proper diabetes management at school a priority. Every province and territory should establish clear standards of care that school boards can follow to ensure the safety, health and optimal education for children with diabetes. In the interim, school boards can begin the process of creating pragmatic guidelines such as those outlined by the Canadian Diabetes Association so that diabetes care across regions is equitable, safe and organized. Clear and consistent policies are better for the schools, better for families and provide an open and transparent process for communities to work with. Everyone should also work to prevent students with diabetes from experiencing stigma and discrimination by promoting a positive, caring and inclusive learning environment through communication, education and co-operation.

Quebec man faces four new charges in crash that killed family of three SAGUENAY, Que. — A Quebec man who was involved in an automobile crash that killed a family of three in Saguenay earlier this month is facing four additional charges. The four new charges against Yves Martin are two of driving and causing death with an alcohol level higher than permitted and two of criminal negligence causing death. That’s in addition to two charges of impaired driving causing death and two of dangerous driving causing death. According to the investigation, the 35-year-old man was allegedly behind the wheel of his truck on Aug. 1 when he hit a vehicle occupied by the three victims; Mathieu Perron, 27, his 26-year-old wife Vanessa Viger, who was pregnant, as well as their son Patrick, 4. Martin is now facing eight charges: four involving the deaths of the couple and four in the boy’s death. His lawyer, Roseline Bouchard-Zee, would not reveal the results of blood tests that were carried out on her client, but she did not rule out the possibility of challenging the findings. The accused, an alleged repeat offender for driving under the influence, will remain behind bars until his next court appearance on Wednesday. Lawyers will discuss the possibility of holding a bail hearing.
Police search for Dalhousie student’s body as athlete faces murder charge HALIFAX — Police made fresh appeals for information Friday after charging a varsity athlete and prospective medical student at Dalhousie University with first-degree murder in the death of a physics student. Halifax police spokeswoman Theresa Rath said police were going door-to-door Friday seeking information from possible witnesses in an area just a few blocks north of the campus. William Michael Sandeson, 22, a middle-distance track athlete who studied kinesiology, remained in custody after he was charged Thursday in the death of Taylor Samson, who was reported missing on Sunday. Samson, a six foot, five inch former resident of Amherst, N.S., had lived in the Sigma Chi fraternity house, according to information released on social
media when he first went missing at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday. In the days after Samson disappeared, friends and family put up posters around the neighbourhood in Halifax’s south end and on Facebook seeking information. On Tuesday, the nature of the case shifted when police arrested Sandeson. Samson’s remains have not been found and Rath said police are placing “a particular emphasis� in finding them. Investigators are eager to hear if any witnesses saw either of the two men in the areas of Henry and South streets, a city block where many students live in apartments and fraternity houses.

B.C. parents seeking court order to treat severely ill baby with cannabis oil VANCOUVER — A British Columbia couple who say their lives were saved by cannabis oil are fighting for the right to treat their severely ill baby with the substance. Justin Pierce and Michelle Arnold, both 21, suffer from epilepsy, and their daughter Mary Jane Pierce was born premature at 25 weeks. The four-and-a-half-month-old girl has been in hospital since she was born with serious health problems including brain bleeding, cerebral palsy and severe seizures. She is on life support and the couple says the Ministry of Children and Family Development pressured them into giving up custody. A judge granted a temporary injunction preventing the ministry from taking the baby off life support last week, and the ministry has since agreed not to do so without the parents’ consent. Doctors recently stopped giving Mary Jane cannabis oil, even though her parents claim it was reducing her seizures, and they are now seeking a court order to resume the treatment.

OTTAWA — A federal worker lost her job earlier this year for fudging her resume in five different applications for various jobs in the public service. An internal government briefing note says the employee “provided false information� about her credentials on five applications and misrepresented her work experience on three of those applications. The briefing note to the deputy minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada says managers became suspicious after noticing some irregularities in the woman’s job applications, specifically “the depth and breadth� of her job experience before and after she joined the department. The briefing note says her work history “appeared contradictory.� The bureaucrat’s name, the details of the investigation and what jobs she held were redacted from an April 17, 2015 briefing note, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. The Public Service Commission, which acts as a watchdog over hiring in the public service, decided the employee should lose her job. If the woman seeks full-time employment in the federal government in the next three years, she’ll need the commission’s approval first. If she lands a part-time job or finds work through one of the government’s student programs, the commission plans to send her supervisor a letter outlining the findings of their fraud investigation. The incident is one of a small number of fraud cases the federal public service deals with on an annual basis. There were 79 allegations of fraud in the 20132014 fiscal year out of 72,000 hires and job changes. The Public Service Commission noted in its most recent annual report that fraud continued “to be of concern.�

FISHER PEAK

ABOVE: One small step for Gerry … means a giant leap down. RIGHT (FROM TOP TO BOTTOM): Pat scrambles over lichen-covered boulders near the summit; Beautiful alpine wildflowers like fireweed help offset the drudgery of the climb. A tiny foothold marks the difference between moving safely upward and a quick 1,000-metre descent — for the Feehan boys, this is the fun part. The steep scree section is the most difficult part of the climb — one slippery step backward for every two hard-earned steps forward.
O
nce in a blue moon something unlikely occurs. A goal beyond expectations — beyond capacity of aging knees — is accomplished. The view of Fisher Peak from our Kimberley condo is mesmerizing. For years, I’ve gazed across the Rocky Mountain Trench at that daunting, taunting pinnacle. Fisher dominates the skyline in this range of the Rockies. At nearly 3,000 metres, it towers over its lofty neighbours. On July 31, my brother Pat and I watched the secGERRY ond full moon of the month, FEEHAN a blue one, rise near Fisher and decided, “Let’s do it.” Good weather is critical to mountain climbing. Luckily, the forecast was ideal: clear skies and calm winds. An alpine storm even in summer can necessitate an overnight bivouac. We were not equipped for that nasty contingency. (An aside: Have you noticed the weatherman has become markedly more reliable over the last few years?) As predicted, a perfect day greeted our ear-

ly start. Climbing Fisher requires no mountaineering equipment, no technical skills. But it’s a long drive to the remote trailhead and the sheer, steady steepness of the climb — and the equally gruelling descent — make for a long, hard day. From trailhead to summit, the elevation gain is 1,400 metres. That’s nearly a vertical mile! The hike began unfortuitously. When Patrick donned his daypack, the water reservoir was empty — and his pack was sopping wet. A leaky start. It is imprudent to begin a seven-hour climb on a hot summer day without H2O but we had little option. We’d driven an hour up bumpy logging roads to reach the trailhead. Returning to get water meant we would not have time to complete the ascent. Besides, we were in the mountains. That’s where water comes from. Find a stream, fill up — and beaver fever be damned. The upward march began in a shaded forest of conifers. After an hour, patches of light started to shine through the canopy and the trail opened across a jumble of rocks. Beneath our feet we heard gurgling, the babbling of an invisible creek. The steepness continued as the path skirted a cascading waterfall, the source of the hidden rumbling — and the source of clean, beautiful liquid sustenance.

we were back at the lovely tarn. We stopped briefly to look back up at the now distant peak. Picas gallivanted about, squeaking cutely, gathering nesting grasses, oblivious to the great feat we had just accomplished. Surprisingly, the last downward section can be the hardest, an unrelenting 90 minutes of joint-jarring, toe-busting, knee-knocking descent. Alpine wildflowers in radiant bloom helped ease the pain. We were back in Kimberley in time to enjoy barbecued steak. At sunset, we sipped a cold one on the deck and watched as alpenglow lit Fisher’s face. The next blue moon is Jan. 31, 2018.

To the south, the blue meandering waters of the Kootenay River and Koocanusa Lake disappearing into the United States a hazy hundred kilometres away. In the west, directly below us, lay the verdant green fields of the Trench. Further distant, the bare ski runs of Northstar Mountain stood out clear as day. I could almost see my deck over there in Kimberley. No, I couldn’t. The difficulty with scrambling up to a steep, precarious perch is … what goes up, must come down. On the ascent, we had concentrated on grabbing, reaching and looking upward. To get down, we had to look down. It was disconcerting hanging over a cliff ledge, slipping toward an invisible foothold below. But we slid safely through the slabs, retrieved our poles at the saddle and surfed down through the scree. Soon

spots, only a tiny foothold marked the difference between moving safely upward or making a quick 1,000-metre descent. But for us Feehans, this is the fun part. The top of Fisher is as tiny as it appears from our balcony 30 km away: a small platform with room for just a handful of climbers. I’m not sure what I expected at the peak but was surprised to see just a jumble of huge boulders stacked atop one another. Like the playthings of a giant. At the summit, I took my first ever selfie. I am a technological Neanderthal, having just recently acquired my first cellphone. I left my clunky SLR camera and heavy lenses in the car and used the phone to take pictures. My concern about sacrificing photographic quality was unfounded. The iPhone 6 performed admirably. The view from the top is remarkable: 360 degrees of pure horizon. To

After 90 minutes of relentless climbing, the trail levelled and we came upon a beautiful alpine tarn, its crystal clear waters mirroring the jagged peaks enveloping us. Above the small lake a cirque opened up and we had our first view of Fisher, the temptress, still hundreds of metres higher. A solitary marmot whistled a warning call. The sound echoed loudly off the walls of the rocky amphitheatre. We were halfway to the summit. The next leg of the assault is difficult: 300 vertical metres of steep, loose scree. A real b#&ch! Even with foreshortened hiking poles digging firm, two hard-earned forward steps were countered by a slippery step backward. The scree section is also dangerous. As it steepens, the risk of lost footing and a fall increases. And, worse still, a hiker above can dislodge rocks upon those below. Self-preservation dictates that you want to be in the lead. Unfortunately, Pat is fitter, stronger and younger than I. So, lagging behind, my focus was keeping my head up while keeping my head down. Did I mention the scree was a real b#&ch! After an hour ,the loose slope resolves to a saddle — a safe refuge before the final climb to the top. This notch in the mountain is festooned with prayer flags. We took a breather in the thin air and gazed around. We had equalled the height of the nearby Steeples, where we’d seen the moon rise a few nights before. Dibble Glacier, a remnant of the last ice age, is visible from this vantage, its ancient blue-grey mass cupped within the Steeples. The last section begins innocuously with a well-marked switchback through ever-bigger rocks. But soon these boulders become broken, vertical slabs. We abandoned our hiking poles, which became a liability in the four-limbed scramble up, over and around truck-sized stones. Clinging precariously to handholds and squeezing through narrow fissures, we neared the top. In a few

Essentials for planning a visit to Warsaw visitors of all ages. Tickets can be booked online but booking is only in Polish. The visit can be combined with a walk in a nearby garden on the roof of the Warsaw University Library. Although there since 2002, the garden never fails to impress.
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WARSAW, Poland — Almost every month brings something new in Warsaw. With nearly 2 million people, Poland’s capital city has been developing fast ever since the oncecommunist nation joined the European Union in 2004. From skate parks and roof gardens to historic palaces and some of Europe’s most modern buildings, visitors of all ages will find plenty do see and do in this city that aspires to be trendy. Here are some suggestions:
Classic attractions Don’t miss the Old Town: colourful Renaissance houses on cobbled stone streets, rebuilt from the ruins of World War II. The story of the city’s 1944 struggle is told by the Warsaw Rising Museum. Another must-see is the Lazienki Park (the Royal Baths Park) with the 17th century ornate Palace on the Isle, an open-air Greek-style theatre, and sculptures of nymphs and satyrs along sand-and-gravel paths. You can feed huge carp and tortoises in the pond and sit on the grass or take a boat ride. For a panoramic view of Warsaw, go to the 30th floor of the iconic eyesore, the Palace of Culture and Science. It was an unwanted gift from Soviet leader Josef Stalin in 1955 and recently celebrated its 60th birthday, having survived repeated calls to be torn down as a symbol of communist-era oppression. It remains Poland’s tallest building, at 237 metres (778 feet). It is flanked by modern high-rise architecture, including the so-called “sail� skyscraper by U.S. architect Daniel Libeskind, who was born in Poland. If you have a day to spare, take a bus to Wilanow and visit the yellow-andgold Baroque Palace and gardens.
What’s new The POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews that opened in October has become the centre of the city’s reborn Jewish culture. The multimedia museum tells the 1,000-year glorious and tragic history of Jewish life in Poland — a world that all but ended in the Holocaust. The museum is located in an area that was the heart of the Jewish Ghetto during World War II, when Nazi Germany occupied Poland, and stands next to the monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto, who in 1943 staged an uprising against the final transport of Warsaw’s Jews to death camps. The building is a piece of exquisite, inspired glass and concrete architecture. Its vast exhibition may require two visits. The museum is closed on Tuesdays, but is free on Thursdays. Most of Warsaw’s tourist attractions are on the left, or western bank of the Vistula River. But the new Soho Factory area in Minska Street 25, in the somewhat forgotten Praga district on the eastern bank, is well worth crossing the river for. The pre-World War II ammunition depot and post-war motorbike factory was an abandoned, rundown neighbourhood, just like industrial sections of downtown New York City, before being turned into an arts community with galleries, exhibition and conference space, a chic restaurant and a museum about life under communism. The museum offers tours of communist-era architecture, a look at a typical small apartment, a taste of cherry vodka and a ride in a militia van. Although it’s five years old, in this city with sites dating back to medieval times, the Copernicus Science Center is one of the newer attractions — complete with long lines for its immensely popular, giant interactive playground, designed to help children see the scientific side of facts and phenomena that we usually take for granted. It teaches through experiment and entertainment and appeals to

ABOVE: The Palace of Culture and Science is lit up next to the modern highrise “sail� skyscraper by U.S. architect Daniel Liebeskind, second left, near a subway station in downtown Warsaw BELOW: People walk along the new Vistula river Boulevards, in Warsaw.
Tips Get a day ticket for using mass transit at 15 zlotys ($4; euro 3.6) for adults (half that price for children). It’s good for bus, tram and subway, but make sure to have it read by a ticket scanner on first use. Fines are very high and workers who check for tickets are unrelenting. City transport is on time and reliable. It’s good to have a city map with the stops marked, but if you get lost, most young people speak English and are eager to help. Hanging out The Old Town (Stare Miasto) and the Nowy Swiat street are lined with cafes and eateries. For a hipster climate, go to Savior Square (Plac Zbawiciela). If you crave Polish food like pierogi (dumplings) or in winter, bigos (sauerkraut stew), look up inexpensive Zapiecek restaurants, also to be found in the Old Town. On both sides of the Vistula there are clubs and cafes, some of them offering music in the summer. The new Vistula Boulevards will make them more accessible.

Ticats crush Eskimos BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Tiger-Cats 49 Eskimos 20 EDMONTON — Hamilton’s highpowered offence could not be stopped Friday night. Terrell Sinkfield reeled in a pair of touchdown passes as the TigerCats won their fifth-straight game, with a dominating 49-20 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos. The Ticats (62) moved into sole possession of first place in the CFL’s East Division with the win. Tiger-Cats quarterback Zach Collaros credited the defence for creating five turnovers that led directly to touchdowns. The Eskimos (5-3) have lost two of their last three and saw a sevengame winning streak at home dating back to last season ended. Edmonton had a rough start as quarterback Matt Nichols was picked off by Tiger-Cats defender Mike Daly on the opening drive and he took the ball back 51 yards. The interception led to a 22-yard touchdown pass from Collaros to Sinkfield. The Eskimos came right back with a 43-yard Grant Shaw field goal to make it 7-3. Edmonton turned the ball over again late in the first half as Shakir Bell fumbled on his own 30, leading to another 10-yard TD pass to Sinkfield. Hamilton got another gift when Eskimos receiver Devon Bailey fumbled a completed pass, quickly leading to a 62-yard passing play from Collaros to Sinkfield. Ray Holley had a two-yard touchdown run to give the Tiger-Cats a 21-3 lead early into the second quarter. A turnover finally went Edmonton’s way when Holley fumbled at his own 40, but all the Esks could muster was another field goal. Hamilton took a 28-7 lead into the half after a four-yard TD run by Brandon Banks against a punt

Hamilton came right back as a

Kung ties course record BY THE CANADIAN PRESS COQUITLAM, B.C. — Candie Kung is looking to end a long slump. Kung, who hasn’t won an LPGA Tour since 2008, shot a blistering 64 Friday afternoon to move into the lead at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. She had an eagle and six birdies to tie the course record on the 6,681-yard, par72 Vancouver Golf Club and leads the field at 11 under. “I’ve been working hard lately,” said Kung, who was born in Taiwan but now lives in Texas. “I guess it was a slump that I had. “I just got caught up in life a little bit. Now I feel like I can get back into it again, play some golf, have some fun.” Kung holds a two-stroke lead over France’s Karine Icher and two-time Canadian Open champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand. “I have not looked at the leaderboard,” shrugged Kung, who finished second at the 2009 U.S. Women’s Open. “I really don’t care who is behind me. “I’m just going to go out there, play one shot at a time . . . see what happens.” Ko shot a bogey-free 68 during the afternoon while Icher shot a 2-under 70 during the morning. Both are 9 under. Ko played a tidy round that saw her card four birdies. On No. 17 she hit her drive into a bunker but made a textbook shot out of the sand to land on the green and make par. She then birdied the 18th. “I got maybe in trouble a couple of times but was able to recover well,” said Ko, who was 15 when she won her first tournament on this course in 2012 as an amateur. “I didn’t really have that many really tough positions. “It’s good to finish well.” At the 2013 CP Open held in Edmonton, Icher finished second to Ko. Since Ko was an amateur, Icher collected the

She is not going to give it to me.” Ko laughed when asked if she would share any winnings with Icher. “I don’t know who is going to be the winner,” she said. “My first goal is to
just play well.” This year’s tournament has a US$2.25-million purse with the winner collecting US$337,500. After going bogey free in an opening-round 65, Icher had two bogeys on Friday. “It’s tough greens,” said Icher, who now lives in Orlando, Fla. “They are super hilly. You have to choose the
right club. “With the wind it was more difficult today to find the right club. It’s still a good day.” China’s Xi Yu Lin used a six iron to score a hole-in-one on the 168-yard, par-3 seventh hole.

Riggers blanked by host Ironmen BY ADVOCATE STAFF Ironmen 3 Riggers 0 CHATHAM, N.B. — The Red Deer Riggers bats went cold against a redhot pitcher and his supporting cast Friday. The end result was a 3-0 loss to the host Chatham Ironmen in the Baseball Canada national senior men’s championship tournament. The Riggers, who fell to 1-1, were limited to four hits by Chatham hurler Jean Francois Neveu, who got solid support from his infielders. “We hit the ball right at guys and they made some good defensive plays. But we also hit into about four double plays, which didn’t help either,” said Riggers playing manager Curtis Bailey. The game was scoreless when it was postponed in the fourth inning due
to rain. When the contest resumed after a three-hour delay, the host squad scored twice in the bottom of the inning and then added an insurance run in the fifth. The Ironmen, who improved to 1-1, didn’t beat up on Riggers pitcher Josh Edwards — who allowed only five hits — but their batters were able to find holes. “Both pitchers had a good pace going before the rain delay,” said Bailey. “Edwards had thrown something like 25 pitches, so he was throwing well with a good pace and a good rhythm.” Patrick Godin led the Ironmen with two hits, including a double, and teammate Kris Keating drove in two runs. Jason Chatwood, Tom Muhlethaler, Jason Louis and Curtis Mazurkewich each had a hit for Red Deer, while each team committed one error. “Our pitchers have thrown really
well and that’s been our strength so far,” said Bailey. “Dustin (Northcott) threw a great game yesterday and Edwards was great today. “Our pitchers have done well and we’ve hit the ball well for the most part, but right at guys.” Red Deer, in Pool A, closes out round-robin play with a pair of games today — at 8 a.m. MDT versus the Kamloops, B.C., Sun Devils, and at 2 p.m. MDT against the Sydney, N.S., Sooners. The Riggers will guarantee themselves a quarter-final berth with a pair of victories and Bailey feels that a split, which would leave the team with a 2-2 record, might be good enough to snare a playoff spot. “Maybe if we win one of two we can still be in good shape, but that all depends on other teams,” he said. In Friday’s other games, Kamloops improved to 2-0 with a 7-3 win over

ting to her life goals. “I’m hoping to go to university but not immediately,” she said. “I travelled (to Costa Rica) after high school and I may still travel before going back to school ... we’ll see.” But what she will be doing is playing rugby. She got into the sport in Grade 10 at Lacombe Composite High School and fell in love with it. “It was the second year they had a girls’ team at the school and I figured I’d try out,” she explained. “I figured it would be like the boy’s football where they had tryouts, but we didn’t have the same numbers and everyone made the team. “I loved the sport. It was one of the only women’s contact sports. It’s physical, but not where you’re getting injured all the time.” Craig played soccer as a youngster and was involve din volleyball and track and field in junior high. “I didn’t play any other sports in high school, I should have, but once I got into rugby I was gung-ho.” She played all three years with the Rams before spending close to two years travelling. When she returned home she joined
the Red Deer Titans Rugby Club, which proved to be an eye-opening experience. “I joined halfway through last season and figured it would be a fun time, nothing really serious, but I was mistaken,” she said. “It’s extremely intense, a lot more than high school and even the junior team. But it’s fun. A great experience.” Raven Craig As part of the Titans the five-footeight Craig played with the U18 elite team on a junior tour playing teams from Montana, Seattle and B.C. She also competed in the Las Vegas Sevens tournament, representing Canada. “I was 19 when we went to States (with the U18 team), but we played university teams, which were older anyway,” she explained. “They still beat us, but it was a good fight and we learned a lot.” This season Craig played for the Prairie Wolf Pack, a team made up of
players from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, which competed in the U20 Canadian championship in Saskatoon. The Wolf Pack finished second, losing 21-12 to Ontario in the final. “They had 40 players trying out in a camp in Edmonton. I didn’t know how it would turn out, but they told me on the Monday I made the team and we left Sunday for the championships.” Craig usually plays outside centre or the wing and hopes to eventually move to flanker. “I need to get a little bigger for that ... bulk up a bit,” she said with a laugh. Craig is helping the Titans in their playoff run this season, but down the road would like nothing more than to play for Canada at the World Championships and Olympics. “The sport continues to grow and I would love to play as long as I can and at a high level,” she said. “There seems to be more young girls getting into the sport and I want to be involved as it continues to grow.” Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com.

Woods claims share of lead in 2nd round BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GOLF: Four birdies She finished with a 66 and sits along in fourth place at 8 under. “It’s my first hole-in-one in a tournament,” said the 19-year-old from Guangzhou. “I had one in a practice round before, but it was only me, nobody really saw it. “So this time, lots of people saw it.” Hamilton’s Alena Sharp shot four birdies for an even-par 72 and remains the top Canadian at 1 under. “I feel great,” said Sharp, who now lives in Orlando. “I haven’t made the cut at the Canadian Open I think since 2009, so it’s been a long time.

Tiger Woods lines up a putt on the 17th hole during the second round of the Wyndham Championship golf tournament in Greensboro, N.C., Friday.
round, shooting that 64 on a course softened by showers that morning. That left him two strokes off the lead. And then, playing under a hot afternoon sun that sped up those undulating greens, Woods almost matched it. “I wasn’t quite as sharp as I was yesterday,” he said. He capped that run of consecutive birdies with a 25-foot putt on the 13th that drew a mighty roar from the huge gallery. Then came his eagle. He placed his second shot about 10 feet behind the hole and, after his downhill putt fell into the hole, he followed with his trademark fist pump. And as strong as his round was, it also easily could have been even better. He settled for birdie on the par-5 fifth when his 10-foot eagle putt lipped out, then missed a 15-foot birdie putt on the next hole. He left a 10-foot birdie putt an inch from the hole on the ninth. “I played well the last two days. I left some shots out there, but I have lots to look forward to on the weekend.” Brooke Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., had five bogeys, including a pair back-to-back, to shot a 75, leaving her at 1 over. She made the cut and thinks with a few improvements she can advance up the leaderboard Saturday. “If I just go and focus on my ballstriking and a little bit of pace putting tomorrow, I think good things will happen,” she said. Henderson became the youngest Canadian to win an LPGA or PGA event with her victory last weekend at the Cambia Portland Classic. Also making the cut was MaudeAimee Leblanc, of Sherbrooke, Que., who carded a 71 to finish at 1 over. City. So what message did he deliver to a young group of players high on talent but short on experience? “Play defence,” said head coach Jay Triano. “It was motivational but it was also about defence, and playing as a team and we know those are the two things for us. If you’re going to be consistently good over 10 games in 12 days, you better be sound defensively and you better play as a team because it’s not going to be fun and it’s going to be a lot of adversity. “How we overcome the adversity is going to determine whether we’re successful or not.” Canada can book its ticket to the 2016 Summer Games with a top-two finish at the Aug. 31-Sept. 12 FIBA Americas. First up is the Tuto Marchand Continental Cup tournament starting Sunday in Puerto Rico.
“I’ve shot 59 and I left a couple shots out there,” Woods said. “The great thing about golf, you can always get a little bit better.” Love, a former University of North Carolina player whose two wins in the tournament came across town at Forest Oaks Country Club, played a practice round with Woods on Tuesday. Several times this week, Woods has referred to pointers Love gave him, notably Love reeled off three straight birdies early in his round before closing with 10 straight pars. “It will look boring on the card ... but I made some nice putts for par, and some good up and downs, and kept the round together,” Love said. Hoge, who was born about 70 miles away in Statesville but grew up in North Dakota, shared the first-round lead with William McGirt and two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton. Hoge, who had two top-10 finishes
in the past month, followed his opening-round 62 with another low number with birdies on three of his final five holes. “Obviously, a new position for me,” Hoge said. Snedeker — who won the Wyndham in 2007, its last year at Forest Oaks — shot just the fifth 61 in the history of the event and the first since Tim Herron three years ago. He finished his round with back-toback birdies on the eighth and ninth holes, closing by sinking a 50-foot putt. “I was trying to shoot 7 under in my mind, get back in the mix, and to shoot 9 (under) was definitely something I wasn’t expecting on the range this morning, but great to get it,” Snedeker said. For some players, the priority was to earn enough points to qualify for the playoffs or keep their tour card for next year.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tiger Woods signed up for his first Wyndham Championship knowing a win would definitively keep his season from ending. He’s halfway there. Woods shot a 5-under 65 on Friday to share the second-round lead with rookie Tom Hoge. “I’m only at the halfway point,” Woods said. “Only 36 holes. We’ve still got a long way to go.” Woods and Hoge were at 11-under 129. Hoge shot a 67. The sport’s biggest name put himself in prime position to contend for his first victory in more than two years, one that would send him into the FedEx Cup playoffs. Woods followed his best round since 2013 — a first-day 64 — with one almost as good. He made his big move up the leaderboard on the back nine, with birdies on Nos. 12 and 13 and an eagle on the par-5 15th that gave him a share of the lead. “I just couldn’t get anything out of my rounds (before this tournament) and a couple lucky bounces here, take advantage of those opportunities — it’s just the flow,” Woods said. Now he’ll spend Saturday playing with an unfamiliar rookie. When asked if he would recognize Hoge to see him, Woods responded: “No, I wouldn’t. What is it, or him?” “I look on the Champions Tour leaderboard and I know every one of those guys because I played against them and I played with them,” Woods said. “Now I come out here, I don’t really know a lot of people.” Davis Love III and Chad Campbell were a stroke back. Campbell shot 65, and the 51-year-old Love had 66. Brandt Snedeker matched the tournament record with a 61 that put him in a group of six players two strokes behind Woods and Hoge. But for the second straight day, the big story at Sedgefield Country Club was Woods. He missed the cuts in the last three majors and hasn’t finished better than a tie for 17th at the Masters. At No. 187 on the FedEx Cup points list, he would definitely crack the top 125 with a win and qualify for the Barclays next week in New Jersey. Depending on how the math works out, a solo second-place finish also might be enough. He took advantage of some prime scoring conditions during the first

Rousey will defend title against Holm on Jan. 2 UFC BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will take on former boxing champion Holly Holm in her next bout on Jan. 2. Rousey announced the matchup on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday. The unbeaten 135-pound star’s attempt at a seventh title defence will headline UFC 195 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “Definitely my biggest challenge to date, so I’m super excited about it,” Rousey told the morning show. Rousey’s next bout was widely expected to be a third meeting with Miesha Tate, the only fighter who has ever survived a first round with Rousey. Instead, Rousey (12-0) unexpectedly chose a meeting with Holm (9-0), who went 33-2-3 as a professional boxer and won several championship belts. The New Mexico native dedicated herself fully to mixed martial arts in 2013, training in the Albuquerque gym of respected trainer Greg Jackson. “She’s not the average chick that I would fight,” Rousey said. “She’s the best striker I’ve ever fought, and striking is something that I learned much later in my career.” Holm has won two fights by decision since joining the UFC earlier this year, but neither was particularly impressive. Rousey is counting on Holm’s vaunted striking abilities to be a draw for the bout — although Rousey’s utter dominance has been its own selling point lately. Rousey has won her last three fights
in a combined 1:04, including a 34-second stoppage of Brazil’s Bethe Correia in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 1. Rousey is the only women’s bantamweight champion in UFC history, and the former Olympic judoka has parlayed her electrifying MMA success into international fame and an acting career. “I don’t ever expect fights to be easy and fast,” Rousey told the morning show. “No one knows exactly how the fights are going to go, and that’s why people buy them. ... I prepare for a five-round war every time I get in there. No one is easy until after you beat them.” UFC President Dana White previously said Tate had earned the right to face Rousey again by earning four straight victories since her third-round submission loss to Rousey in December 2013. Rousey, who has a personal dislike for Tate along with their professional rivalry, had previously discussed Tate as her next opponent. Rousey also has been challenged by Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino, the Brazilian veteran widely considered the world’s best female fighter after Rousey. But Justino has been fighting in the Invicta promotion as a 145-pound featherweight, and she has expressed reservations about her ability to get down to the 135-pound bantamweight limit. Rousey and White have been unenthusiastic about a 140-pound catch weight bout with Justino, but Tate has said she would gladly gain five pounds for a high-profile fight with Cyborg. Shortly after Rousey announced her bout with Holm, many MMA fans took to Twitter to speculate on the enticing possibility of Tate fighting Justino on the undercard of UFC 195.

Quebec’s Valerie (Trouble) Letourneau looks for third UFC win on Saskatoon card BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — At 19, a pregnant Valerie (Trouble) Letourneau had a dream. “I wanted to be the first female fighter (from Quebec) to step into the Octagon as a pro,” the Montreal native said. “Now my daughter’s 12 and there’s still nobody else. “I had a few girls I was training with that I really thought were going to turn pro many years ago. But they got injuries or they decided to make a family. I’m still the only one.” Letourneau (6-3) made her UFC debut in June 2014 when she won a split decision over Elizabeth Phillips at UFC 174 in Vancouver. She followed that up in April, moving to down to strawweight (115 pounds) from bantamweight (135) to win a unanimous decision over fellow Canadian Jessica Rakoczy at UFC 186 in Montreal. That made her the first UFC female fighter to win in two weight classes. On Sunday, Letourneau returns to action against Ukraine strawweight Maryna Moroz (6-0) in the UFC’s first visit to Saskatoon. The main event at the SaskTel Centre pits Hawaii featherweight Max (Blessed) Holloway, ranked fifth among 145-pound contenders, against No. 7 Charles (Do Bronx) Oliveira of Brazil. The televised card also features Canadian veterans Sam (Hands of Stone) Stout of London, Ont., and Montreal welterweight Patrick (The Predator) Cote. Stout (21-11-1) is slated to make his 20th UFC appearance against Frankie Perez while Cote (21-9) steps into the Octagon for the 18th time against Josh

(The People’s Champion) Burkman. Other Canadians on the card are lightweights Chad (The Disciple) Laprise, Olivier (The Quebec Kid) Aubin-Mercier and Shane (Shaolin) Campbell, flyweight Chris (The Greek Assassin) Kelades, bantamweight Yves (Tiger) Jabouin and light-heavyweight debutante Misha Cirkunov. Now 32, Letourneau took up kickboxing as a teenager. That led to jiujitsu and other martial arts. She won her pro debut in 2007 before losing to fellow Canadians Sarah Kaufman and Alexis Davis, both currently ranked UFC bantamweights. Injuries have disrupted her career, however. After the December 2007 loss to Davis, she fought just once in 40 months. A broken hand, concussion and two shoulder surgeries kept her on the shelf. Letourneau and daughter Gabrielle call Florida home these days. The fighter headed south two years ago to train at American Top Team. “I love the gym, I love the structure here,” she said. “We have so many girls to train with, so that’s awesome. “The weather also, of course.” She is a full-time fighter. In Montreal, she was juggling her training, responsibilities as a parent as well as a job as a trainer. Letourneau had spent 10 years training at Montreal’s Tristar Gym, eventually leaving because she was the only female pro fighter there and because she thought she needed new surroundings. “I still talk to everybody at Tristar, I have a lot of respect for them. But for me, it really gives me a new vibe, a new energy to come to American Top Team.” does not necessarily constitute the end of the process.” A person familiar with the process told The AP that the third stage involves the NHL reviewing the applicants’ business plans and revenue projections. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NHL has not revealed the details of the process. The third stage is scheduled to end next month. Barring setbacks, it would then be up to the league and board of governors’ approval to award expansion franchises, the person added. The NHL isn’t expected to expand until 2017-18 at the earliest. Daly’s confirmation came after Montreal-based communications giant Quebecor announced on its Twitter account that it was moving forward.
REGINA — Saskatchewan Roughriders players needed their bye week. Entering Week 9 last year, the Roughriders were riding high with a 5-2 record and four consecutive wins. Quarterback Darian Durant was healthy and playing at an MVP-calibre level. Entering Saturday’s matchup against the Calgary Stampeders at home, Saskatchewan (0-7) is still searching for its first win of the season. The Riders’ top two quarterbacks are also on the injured list. “This game always stays on your mind a little bit, but it was nice to get away from it and get some rest and relax,” said veteran defensive lineman Tearrius George. “It was something we all needed. This time last year none of us wanted to go on a break because we were on such a good roll. But I think a lot people needed it this year to recharge and come back ready and refocused.” The Roughriders returned to the practice field this week eager to turn their season around. It won’t be easy with the defending Grey Cup champion Stampeders (5-2) in town. “It’s a new start as far as what we do out here on the field, but I still think that everything that has gone on is in the back of every guy’s mind,” said George. “It’s there to drive each guy to do better, to be better.” There were signs of improvement for Saskatchewan as it limped into the bye week. Rookie quarterback Brett Smith was solid in a 30-26 loss to the Toronto Argonauts two weeks ago. Smith threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns while nearly pulling off a last-second, game-winning score. The Roughriders defence registered four sacks against Toronto and nine different players caught passes on offence with a solid rushing attack by Jerome Messam and Steven Miller. Penalties still proved to be an issue

with 24 infractions going against Saskatchewan for 192 yards. “To say that we’re feeling a little bit better just because we were close and that we did a couple of good things here and there just isn’t it,” said offensive lineman Brendon LaBatte. “We have to be looking forward to this game and preparing for it. “A moral victory or a little bit of momentum two weeks later when you line up to play a game, well, most of that stuff is going to be forgotten. Were there a few positives to build off of? Yeah, but there were still a lot of negatives that needed cleaning up, too.” Normally when these two team meet, there’s division bragging rights and first place in the West Division at stake. That’s not the case this season with the Roughriders in last place with six points behind Winnipeg and B.C. Calgary — which has won its last two games — is tied atop the division with the Edmonton Eskimos. “Every game is the same whether you’re 7-0 or 0-7 or 4-3, whatever it may be,” said LaBatte. “You go out there and you work all week to win games. That mindset never changes. The way you approach a game never changes. It’s going to be a big game for us, absolutely, because it’s the next game.” NOTES — It’s the first sellout of the season for the Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium. Saturday’s contest also marks the 2015 Canadian Football Hall of Fame game, with seven inductees being honoured during halftime — including two former Roughriders, Gene Makowsky and Eddie Davis.

Houston’s Fiers throws nohitter against Dodgers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

never won a W&S championship. He is hoping to become the first man to win all nine ATP Masters 1000 championships in his career. Wawrinka, who needed three tiebreakers and 2 hours, 37 minutes to get past 7-foot Ivo Karlovic on Thursday, committed 27 unforced errors to eight for Djokovic. At 4-4 in the first set, Djokovic broke Wawrinka and went on to win the next five games, taking command of the match before closing it out in just 63 minutes.
Wild assistant coach Darryl Sydor charged with drunk driving BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Wild assistant coach Darryl Sydor was jailed on drunken-driving charges Friday after authorities said he became lost trying to take his 12-year-old son to a hockey tournament and ended up apologizing repeatedly to the weeping boy. Police pulled Sydor over around 5:15 p.m. Thursday in suburban Fridley after observing him driving erratically, according to the criminal complaint filed in Anoka County District Court. His blood-alcohol level later tested at 0.30 per cent, more than four times the legal limit, the complaint said. Sydor, 43, was charged with two counts of second-degree drunken driving because of the aggravating factor of having a child in the car, with a maximum sentence of a year in jail and a fine up to $3,000. “It gets the point of being disturbing. When you choose to drink and drive that’s one thing. But when you choose to drink and drive with your child in the car at such a high level, where you know you’re so obnoxiously impaired, that’s almost disgusting to me,” Fridley Police Lt. Michael Monsrud said Friday. Sydor remained in the county jail Friday. Online court records didn’t list a lawyer who could comment on his behalf and indicated he did not have an attorney when he made his first court appearance. Bail was set at $12,000, which Monsrud said is standard in such drunkendriving cases. He was also given the option of enrolling in an alcohol treatment program instead. His next court date was set for Oct. 12. Sydor, from Edmonton, has been an assistant coach for the Wild for the past four seasons. He also played 18 seasons in the NHL. “We are aware of the reports re-
garding Darryl Sydor. We are continuing to gather information and will have further comment at the appropriate time,” the team said in a statement. According to the complaint, Sydor told Officer Erik Johnson he was taking his son to a hockey tournament in Plymouth and they were lost. The boy was in the front seat and didn’t say anything but kept looking at a GPS app on the phone in his lap. Sydor’s eyes were bloodshot and watery, and his speech was slow and slurred, the complaint said. He had trouble finding his driver’s license even though it was in his wallet. The officer smelled a strong odour of alcohol on Sydor’s breath. “On several occasions, defendant stopped and told his son, ’I’m sorry,”’ the complaint said. The boy told Officer Zak Chlebeck they got lost on their way to a 6:30 p.m. game in Plymouth, and that his mother was in Canada visiting family. “He was now crying and upset that his dad had been pulled over,” the complaint said. The officer called the boy’s mother, Sharlene Sydor, and told her what was happening. Chlebeck then took the boy and his gear to his game and delivered him to his coach. The mother told the officer she would fly home as soon as possible, and the mother and coach made arrangements for caring for the boy after the game. Sydor, a defenceman, formerly played for the Los Angeles Kings, Dallas Stars, Columbus Blue Jackets, Tampa Bay Lighting, Pittsburg Penguins and St. Louis Blues. He joined the Wild as an assistant in the 2011-12 season. His total of 1,291 games played ranks 18th all-time by an NHL defenceman, according to the Wild’s website. He won Stanley Cups with the Stars in 1999 and Lightning in 2004 and appeared in the 1998 and 1999 NHL AllStar games.

HOUSTON — Mike Fiers has pitched the second no-hitter in the major leagues in nine days, leading the Houston Astros to a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. Fiers (6-9) struck out Justin Turner on his 134th pitch to end it and threw his glove high into the air for his first no-hitter and fifth in the big leagues this season. Seattle’s Hisashi Iwakuma tossed a no-no on Aug 12. Cole Hamels with Philadelphia, San Francisco’s Chris Heston and Washington’s Max Scherzer also have thrown no-hitters this season. Acquired by the Astros at the trade deadline to help with their playoff push, Fiers has been stellar in his three starts for Houston. This was something else, though. Having never even gotten an out in the ninth inning in his five-year career, Fiers was dominant Friday. He struck out 10 and walked three, retiring the final 21 batters. Nolan Ryan applauded from a suite
as Fiers was mobbed by his teammates near the mound after finishing the 11th no-hitter in Astros history. Fiers (1-0) needed little help from his defence until Jake Marisnick had to sprint to catch a long flyball by Jimmy Rollins just in front of the bullpen in right field for the first out of the ninth inning. Fiers crouched in relief then pointed out to his teammate. The closest the Dodgers came to breaking it up was in the sixth inning when Turner’s towering shot to left with two outs hooked foul. The 30-year-old right-hander allowed a walk in each of the first three innings, but didn’t allow a baserunner after walking Joc Pederson to start the third. He repeatedly had the NL Westleading Dodgers fooled with a nasty curveball and changeup to complement a fastball in the low 90s. It was the first no-hitter by one Astros pitcher since Darryl Kile blanked the Mets on Sept. 8, 1993. Six Houston pitchers combined to throw one against the Yankees on June 11, 2003.

MONTREAL — Tom Higgins has been fired as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes and general manager Jim Popp will take over the job for the fourth time in his career. A brief statement released Friday evening from team owner Bob Wetenhall gave no reason for the change, which came a day after the Alouettes beat the B.C. Lions 23-13 for only their second win in Vancouver since 2000. “General Manager Jim Popp will take over the duties of head coach at this time,” Wetenhall said. “Our management and I have full confidence in Jim, as do our players. “We have made this change as we believe it is in the best interest of our team, and especially our fans. We all wish to express to Tom our affection and respect, as well as our appreciation for the contributions he has made to the franchise.” Higgins, a CFL veteran who had previous head coaching stints in Calgary and Edmonton, took over the Alouettes in 2014, when the team rebounded from a 1-7 start to make the playoffs with a 9-9 record. The club is 3-5 this season, mostly due to an anaemic offence and some costly errors at key moments of games. The Alouettes also lost both starting quarterback Jonathan Crompton and backup Dan LeFevour to injuries in the opening game of the season and have had to break in rookie pivot Rakeem Cato.

Bamford brings it home
Central Alberta country music star Gord Bamford set a fundraising record of $508,350 at the eighth annual Gord Bamford Charity Golf Classic in Red Deer er and Lacombe on Aug. 12 and 13. The event’s gala took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Red Deer, where he opened the night with heartfelt remarks and a welcome address expressing his gratitude for the community’s support. Bamford attributes much of the event’s success to strong community supporters, the music community and, of course, the sponsors and volunteers. Artists Beverley Mahood, Jess Moskaluke and Gord himself took the stage to entertain the 800 people attending the sold-out private event. Bamford surprised guests by introducing the legendary Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives — and fabulous doesn’t begin to describe the performance delivered by the Grand Ole Opry member. Celebrities were auctioned off to gala guests, who paid up to $10,000 for the opportunity to have the celebrity join their golf team the following day. The list included hockey players like Theo Fleury, Curtis Glencross and Shannon Szabados. Rodeo champs Rod and Denny Hay, and Davey Shields Jr. also went out the highest bidding teams. “Central Alberta is a spectacular place to bring together a group of supporters to really celebrate the work that these great charities do. The organizations we support change the lives of people in their communities, and for that reason, we’ll continue to build on the success of the event so the Gord Bamford Foundation can continue to give. I’m absolutely honoured and grateful to everyone involved,” said Bamford. The event is the main source of funds for the Gord Bamford Foundation, which provides funds for initiatives that include or involve music, education, health care, sports, and multi-use facilities that benefit youth across Canada.

Killer dog’s fate reviewed by city BY MARY-ANN BARR ADVOCATE STAFF The City of Red Deer is reviewing a recommendation to designate a dog as aggressive after it killed another dog in an off-leash park. A man is facing a $2,500 fine if he is found guilty of a charge of being the owner of a dog causing death to another domestic animal. The incident occurred on July 29 at the city’s Oxbow Off Leash Park, located at 40th Avenue and 19th Street.

BRIEFS Speeding crackdown launched by RCMP Red Deer City RCMP were busy this week slowing down speeding drivers on Riverside Drive. RCMP Traffic Services issued tickets to 11 speeders in the space of just over an hour on Wednesday afternoon on the road. Using hand-held lasers, between about 3:30 and 4:40 p.m. police monitored southbound traffic in the 4700 block of Riverside Drive. “The faster you’re driving, the harder it is to avoid sudden obstacles and the longer it takes you to stop. That makes you that much more likely to cause serious injury or death to yourself or to those around you,” said Sgt. Al Nickolson of the Red Deer RCMP. “Speed limits exist for public safety reasons, and we are committed to targeting those who place the public in danger.” RCMP also charged one person for not wearing a seatbelt, and issued a warning to a driver whose licence plate was obscured, at which point the driver removed the cover. Traffic Services target distracted driving, seatbelt infractions, intersection violations, speeding and impaired driving — identified as the most common and dangerous traffic issues in Red Deer.

court on Sept. 14. His name is not being released. The man’s dog has not been seized by Alberta Animal Services, which is contracted by the city to look after animal control. The dog owner has been co-operative during the thorough investigation, Stuart said. There is a recommendation that the dog to be designated as aggressive and if it is determined to be so, there are a number of strict conditions that owner has to comply with under the bylaw, she said. For example, before the animal can be licensed, the owner must have liability insurance covering damage and
injury caused by the aggressive dog of not less than $500,000. The manager of inspections and licensing makes the aggressive-dog determination, in this case Stuart. She is reviewing the report from Alberta Animal Services. The owner of a dog deemed aggressive can appeal the decision. An appeal would then go to the Red Deer Development Appeal Board, rather than into the court system. There have been no prior incidents with this dog owner, she said. The incident occurred last month when Carla Rider and her small dog Vienna, a Pomeranian, chihuahua and Shih Tzu cross, was visiting with other
dog walkers in Oxbow park. As a man arrived at the park, his dog, an American Staffordshire terrier, a breed of pit bull, suddenly attacked the smaller dog, killing it almost instantly. Stuart said they don’t get very many complaints regarding the city’s offleash parks. There have been other incidents but none where an animal has died. There are rules for dog owners who use off-leash parks, such as the dogs must interact well with other dogs and dog owners, come immediately when called and kept within sight and under verbal control at all times. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Three Hills RCMP received a tip that Ferguson was at a rural residence in their area later that evening. With the assistance of Red Deer police dog services and RCMP air services, Ferguson was located and arrested without incident. The vehicle involved was also found.

He will be sentenced on Sept. 17 in Sherwood Park provincial court.
Chase suspects’ case delayed until Sept. 11 The case against a duo charged after a chase near Gasoline Alley has been postponed. Kayla Boucher, 25, and Alexander Smythe, 34, both appeared in Red Deer provincial court on Friday before Judge Jim Hunter. Patty MacNaughton, defence counsel for Boucher, told Hunter she was ready to elect trial by provincial court judge and set a date. However, Andrew Phypers, defence counsel for Smythe, was not ready as he was recently retained as counsel and needed time to review the allegations. Hunter agreed to adjourn the charges to Sept. 11 in Red Deer provincial court. The two were arrested on Aug. 1 by Blackfalds RCMP after a chase south of Red Deer. In pursuit of a vehicle that failed to stop, police followed it to an area east of Gasoline Alley. Two people in the car ditched it and ran into a small wooded area. Two suspects were cornered and arrested by police. Smythe was wanted on a Canadawide warrant and faces firearms and drug charges. Police said the vehicle was stolen. They also recovered a firearm.

Three Hills man guilty over chase that hurt officer A Three Hills man arrested after a chase through Alberta that left an RCMP officer injured was found guilty in a Sherwood Park courtroom on Thursday. Christopher Ferguson, 24, was arrested near Three Hills following the chase throughout the Edmonton Area on May 30, 2014. The chase started near Sherwood Park at 1:15 p.m. when RCMP traffic services tried to stop a speeding vehicle. The suspect vehicle pulled into a residential subdivision and stopped.

Daniel Wesley, all grown up ‘I’VE BEEN VERY HAPPY FOR QUITE A LONG TIME NOW AND THE SONGS REFLECT THAT.’ — DANIEL WESLEY
BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF The happy vibe on Daniel Wesley’s new album, I Am Your Man, isn’t coincidental. The married father of a two-and-a-half-year-old son and (as of two weeks ago) a second baby boy, isn’t the same guy he was a few years ago. The alt-rocker who penned You Ain’t S--t, Cocaine + Cops and Drunk + Stoned has mellowed somewhat over the last few years, and moved into a larger family home in the White Rock/South Surrey area from Vancouver. This contended state of mind is evident on his self-produced seventh album, I Am Your Man. Wesley doesn’t believe he had a conscious theme for the new CD, but rather that the “fun, happy, summer vibe” just naturally came out during the recording process. “I’ve been very happy for quite a long time now and the songs reflect that,” said Wesley, who performs a solo acoustic show on Saturday, Aug. 29, at the International Beer Haus in Red Deer. At the age of 33, he’s retained his previous reggae influences but “grown away” from writing the kind of drug-referencing material that grabbed him attention earlier in his decade-long career. “It wasn’t like I was going off the rails with so much partying or anything, you just get older ... and you figure things out.” He believes most of his listeners have matured, too. “They grow up with you. Young kids will now come to my all-ages shows and I think it’s really cool that I have stuff I can play for families.” His new tune Speed Bump is one of those songs, written during a vacation in Maui. Wesley recalled taking his toddler son for a ride in his stroller on a hillside road. “Every time we hit a speed bump, he started laughing. It was a great moment that I’ll always remember.” Lyrics popped into his head and Wesley rushed to jot them down because “unless you get it down in the first five minutes, you lose that spark.” Sing This Song was penned while he was touring. Being away from home is more difficult now, the singer admitted, although performing is still fulfilling. “Doing what you love to do isn’t the easiest, but you have to push on through and persevere ... even though you’re sometimes in some crappy old hotel room, thinking should I really be doing this? Shouldn’t I be around more for my family?” These are the kind of questions many parents with

And Wesley believes “it’s good to always question yourself about whether you’re on the right path, and what is your next step going to be?” He decided his next step is to do shorter tours so he won’t be away from home for too long. He also started a home recording studio, so “hope-
fully, I’ll have a bigger space now to record my music.” Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $17.50 from Ticketfly or the venue. For more information about the show, call 403986-5008. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Stringer known for powerful performances MELBOURNE-BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER BRINGS RIVETING VOICE TO RED DEER BY LANA MICHELIN ADVOCATE STAFF Grizzly bears are high on the list of North American animals that Australian singer Liz Stringer hopes to see — from a distance — during her first Canadian tour this month. Moose? Not so much. “I was chased by a moose when I was in Norway once,” said Stringer, who performs on Saturday, Aug. 29, at Gilmore Guitars in Red Deer. “I’m in no hurry to see a moose.” So far, her wildlife sightings have been limited to garden-variety squirrels. But the Melbourne-based singer/songwriter has been making a striking impression on Canadian audiences with her powerful, often dark-tinged tunes of love and loss. Catch her riveting YouTube performances of The Devil and My Daughter or Ain’t No Healer, and you’ll see why Beat Magazine has likened her soulstirring singing style to a “Baptist preacher leading a Sunday morning congregation down the path of righteousness.” Stringer is often praised for penning “novellalike lyrics” with poetic stirring and visceral punch. And these comparisons to short-story writing are appreciated by the 35-year-old, who’s purposely taken a sparse lyrical approach in her four studio albums. “In three or four verses you have to create an entire universe ... so you have to be very careful with which words you choose because you only have room for a few,” she said. Stringer’s haunting tune High Open Hills still manages to convey a twist ending, in the spirit of Shirley Jackson or Guy de Maupassant, when the
lover who’s longingly remembered at the beginning of the song is revealed to be a cad by the end. Her narrative style is borrowed from traditional Irish music — which is probably her biggest influence. “The only other music we had around the house was Beatles records or Beach Boys records,” recalled the singer, who grew up in a family of musicians, writers and artists — including her retired musicteacher dad. Although Stringer’s tastes diversified as she grew older (“When I got to high school, I was listening to Metallica, Jeff Buckley and various Australian bands — as well as Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix”), her most enduring influence continues to be melodydriven folk. Stringer’s following up her 2014 solo album Live at the Yarra with a new CD that’s in the process of being recorded in Portland, Ore. It’s Stringer’s first experience with a North American studio and, so far, she’s thrilled with the results. Producer Adam Selzer (The Decemberists, Y La Bamba), hired some “amazing” studio musicians, said Stringer. Since they weren’t overly familiar with her tunes at first, they brought no preconceived notions into the studio. And she believes this fresh approach “will turn out to be awesome.” Her yet-untitled new album is expected to be released in 2016. Although this is Stringer’s first Canadian tour, she’s one of Melbourne’s most lauded indie musicians, with a growing fan following in Europe. Tickets to the 7 p.m. show at Bay 6, 4676 61st St. in Red Deer are $20 from Gilmore Guitars. For more information, call 403-872-0006. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com

Mistress America gets screwball right Mistress America 3.5 Stars (out of four) Rated: 14A Greta Gerwig makes quite the entrance in Mistress America, Noah Baumbach’s exuberant new film: arms outstretched, her smile almost as wide, she descends grandly down stairs in New York’s Times Square. And why not? Gerwig, like her character Brooke, is a fireball of energy summoning memories of Katharine Hepburn and Carole Lombard. In this summer of failed attempts at reviving screwball PETER comedy — Aloha and She’s HOWELL Funny That Way were dead on arrival — Mistress America storms in to show how it’s done, with enough clever dia-
MOVIES
logue for three fun movies. This Sundance hit, one of the film delights of 2015, was co-written by zeitgeistful wits Baumbach and Gerwig, partners in work and love who previously teamed for Frances Ha and Greenberg. Brooke, 30ish, is in Times Square to meet Tracy (Lola Kirke), 18, a lonely college freshman and NYC rookie needful of friendship and mentoring. They’re about to become stepsisters, Brooke’s dad being engaged to marry Tracy’s mom. Brooke and Tracy set out to make up for lost time. Brooke is a Jill of all trades, but what she really wants to do is open a restaurant called Mom’s that’s as much a happening as it is an eatery. She has ambition and ideas to spare, but no money. Tracy is an aspiring writer who yearns to get into a snobby literary society at Barnard College. She also wishes she could be as bold as Brooke, with all the calculation and complications that desire implies. There’s a wild trip to a Connecticut mansion midway wherein a former friend of Brooke’s (Heather Lind) is accused, among other things, of stealing a business, a pair of pet cats and, oh yes, a boyfriend (Michael Chernus). Yet Mistress America isn’t just another laugher
about women competing for men, even if Tracy is sort of interested in a nerdy classmate (Matthew Shear), who already has a very jealous girlfriend (Jasmine Cephas-Jones). Men are botheration’s to busy female lives, as Brooke observes of her own erstwhile boyfriend, currently in Greece: “He’s the kind of person I hate, except I’m in love with him.” Mistress America isn’t all froth and farce. It has something to say about loneliness, personal loyalty and acknowledging past mistakes, taking a few well-aimed shots at 21st Century narcissism along the way. Tracy proves to be more complex than Brooke imagined: “Sometimes I don’t know if you’re a Zen master or a sociopath,” Brooke half-jokes. Kirke exhibits the same sly allure she brought to her memorable Gone Girl role. Rather than rocking the comedy boat, these serious elements anchor it. Mistress America is the kind of screwball comedy Ernst Lubitsch or Preston Sturges would have loved, and there’s no finer praise than that. Peter Howell is a syndicated Toronto Star movie critic.

BRIEFS
Like a Song, to country radio in the spring, will entertain from 7 p.m. at West Stettler Park. The Royalty Records label artist was one of six performers chosen to participate in the Canadian Country Music Association’s Discovery Program in 2013, where he earned a reputation as a gifted songwriter. Reid comes from a five-generation farm family that staked a claim near Cremona in 1902. Music fans are invited to bring a lawn chair or blanket and settle in for a fun show, inspired by Reid’s deep country roots. The singer said he spent thousands of hours listening to the evolution of country music through the AM radios of tractors, trucks and combines. “Radio has been that escape for me for my entire life.”
Professional wrestlers at Quality Inn North Hill
Red Deer author Sigmund Brouwer’s “memoir novel” Thief of Glory has won the 2015 Christy Book of the Year Award.
Brouwer wins Christy Award for Thief of Glory
Colossal wrestler Brodus Clay will headline when the Canadian Wrestling Elite brings its touring show to Red Deer next week. “The six-foot-eight, over 300-pound monster of a man” will entertain on Friday, Aug. 28, at the Quality Inn North Hill. Clay, who recently left the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) circuit, will join Ring of Honour star Silas Young, Alberta-based Stampede Wrestling star Johnny “Dungeon Master” Devine, New Japan Pro Wrestling star Chase “Crown Jewel” Owens and many more. Audience interest in this trial-run tour that also stops for performances in Camrose, Sherwood Park and Calgary, will determine whether Alberta will become a new stop on the Manitoba-based CWE (Canadian Wrestling Elite) schedule. VIP access is at 6 p.m., general admission is at 6:30 p.m., and matches start at 7 p.m. VIP passes are $20, general admission in advance is $15 from the Quality Inn, North Hill, or $20 at the door. Tickets can also be purchased online at diyobo.com.
Red Deer-area author Sigmund Brouwer has scored another big win. His “memoir novel” Thief of Glory won the 2015 Christy Book Award of the Year. The U.S.-based Christy Awards are bestowed each year on novels of excellence, written from a Christian world view. For Brouwer, this recognition is particularly poignant because of the recent death of his father. Thief of Glory is based on his dad’s experiences working in the Dutch resistance during the Second World War. “I had the joy of sharing (the nomination) with my father, whose boyhood story was the inspiration for it, Mezzo-soprano Sharon Braun and and with my mother, whose lifelong pianist Cheryl Cooney will entertain romance with my father was an equal at the next First Thursday in the Snell inspiration,” said the author. concert at the Red Deer Public LiBut by the time Brouwer was told brary.

A Banksy piece is displayed at his biggest show to date, entitled Dismaland, during a press viewing in Western-superMare, Somerset, England, this week.
Elusive UK street artist Banksy opens darkly amusing Dismaland BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — The elusive British graffiti artist Banksy has unveiled his latest project — a parody of a seaside theme park called Dismaland, complete with a derelict castle, a dead Cinderella and a Grim Reaper in a bumper car. The artist, best known for his subversive, stenciled street art, said it was a “festival of art, amusements and entry-level anarchism.” “I guess you’d say it’s a theme park whose big theme is theme parks should have bigger themes,” he said in a statement. While Banksy said it was “not a swipe at Disney,” it’s difficult to ignore the reminders of Disneyland — from the grey castle and the skewed sculpture of Ariel the mermaid in front of it, to the exhibit of Cinderella in her carriage. Only this princess hangs out of her crashed carriage, apparently dead, as paparazzi look on. The project, staged in a run-down site in southwestern England’s Westonsuper-Mare, is Banksy’s biggest show to date.
It includes new works from Banksy, as well as art galleries featuring some 50 international and British artists including Damien Hirst. Musical performances and arcade games complete the experience. Among the exhibits: a sculpture of a woman attacked by a cloud of seagulls, a killer whale leaping out of a toilet bowl and a pond where visitors can steer model boats crammed with migrants. Local residents had been kept in the dark about the project, and were told the space was being turned into a film set. The park opens to the public on Saturday and runs until Sept. 27. Judging from the early response, it’s set to be a hit: Long lines formed outside the park on Friday as people waited to get in for a viewing day reserved for local residents. Online, the official website was down for most of Friday as it apparently crashed under the flow of traffic. Banksy, who has never disclosed his full identity, began his career spraypainting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world’s best-known street artists.

Consumer price index up 1.3 % from last year BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
STATSCAN REPORT
OTTAWA — The increased cost of filling a grocery cart over the past year was more than enough to offset a drop in the price of putting gas in the car, according to the latest inflation report from Statistics Canada. The federal agency said Friday that the consumer price index in July was up 1.3 per cent compared with a year ago, compared with an increase of 1.0 per cent in June. Economists had expected an increase in the consumer price index of 1.4 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters. TD Bank economist Brian DePratto said July marked the third consecutive month of rising inflation amid a trend of increasing food prices and lower gasoline prices. “Some of the price pressures we are seeing are special factors to some degree,” he said, noting that the rise in meat prices is “a bit of an oddity.” “It is not inconsistent with the view that we’re sort of through the worst of that (first half) contraction. Now for the second half of the year, we expect a slow and steady return to growth.” The inflation report came as Statistics Canada also reported retail sales for June increased 0.6 per cent to $43.2 billion, topping expectations for a gain
of 0.2 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters. However, after removing the effects of price changes, retail sales in terms of volume were flat in June. The retail sales report added support to the notion that the economy likely grew in June to end a streak of five consecutive months of contraction. “Given earlier reported increases in wholesale and manufacturing sale volumes, we expect overall monthly GDP growth rose 0.2 per cent in June, which would mark the first increase in six months,” RBC economist Nathan Janzen wrote in a report. Economists have suggested the economy contracted in the second quarter after also pulling back in the first quarter — a technical recession. However most have forecast growth to resume in the second half of the year. The Bank of Canada’s core index, which excludes some of the most volatile items, was up 2.4 per cent from a year ago — in line with estimates. Core inflation has been above the two per cent level for 12 straight months, but DePratto said the Bank of Canada has not appeared concerned. “It is something that is on the horizon for them, but the growth story is probably the more important
one for the Bank of Canada,” he said. In its monetary policy report last month, the central bank noted core inflation has been above two per cent in recent months, but attributed it to “transitory effects” including the drop in the Canadian dollar and some sector-specific factors. The Bank of Canada estimated the underlying trend in inflation is about 1.5 to 1.7 per cent. Leading the increase in annual inflation was an increase in food prices, which were 3.2 per cent higher compared with a year ago, boosted by meat prices, which rose 6.1 per cent. The price of fresh or frozen beef was up 17.2 per cent from a year ago, while fresh or frozen pork gained 2.0 per cent. Prices for food bought from stores was up 3.5 per cent, while food bought in restaurants was up 2.7 per cent. Statistics Canada said the transportation index, which includes gasoline, was the only one of eight components to show a decline. It was down for the ninth month in a row. The transportation component dropped 1.7 per cent compared with a year ago as the gasoline index fell 12.2 per cent. Partially offsetting the drop in gasoline prices was a 2.5 per cent increase in the cost of passenger vehicles.
Oil decline, weak economy, could Notley won’t back away from royalty weigh on bank results: analysts review, tax hike THOUGH BANKS HAVE AVOIDED BAD RESULTS SO FAR THIS YEAR
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
Q3 RESULTS
TORONTO — The ongoing oil price plummet and a spate of bleak economic indicators have sparked renewed concerns about Canada’s banks, which are set to report their third-quarter results next week. “The results reported so far this year have been better than expected,” CIBC analyst Robert Sedran said in a note to clients. Indeed, despite concerns that low oil prices could hurt the banks’ lending books, the big Canadian banks have continued to report strong earnings growth each quarter. However, Sedran cautions that economic troubles could start to weigh on their results — if not directly, through higher loan losses, then indirectly, by hurting loan growth and other sources of revenue. Both consumers and corporations may become hesitant to take on debt now that the oil price seems likely to “languish at low levels for a prolonged period,” Sedran said. After experiencing a brief rally, crude has taken another plunge recently. The benchmark price is hovering just above US$40 a barrel, which is considered to be the price required for many Canadian oil producers to turn a profit. Sedran says it’s not surprising that the impacts of the low oil price have yet to be fully felt by the banks — and it’s possible they won’t be reflected in this quarter’s results yet, either. “Whatever the outlook for the oil price and the Canadian economy, there was always going to be a lag period before any impact would be felt. We think we are still in that lag period,” Sedran said, noting that historically, such problems creep into banks’ results over the course of two or three years. The Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) will kick off the
earnings parade on Tuesday, followed by Royal Bank (TSX:RY) and National Bank (TSX:NA) on Wednesday and CIBC (TSX:CM) and TD Bank (TSX:TD) on Thursday. Scotiabank will wrap up the week, reporting its quarterly earnings on Friday. Gareth Watson, vice-president of investment management and research at Richardson GMP Ltd., says investors will be looking to the results to determine how well the lenders are coping with the tough economic conditions. “The question is, in an environment where it’s become a little bit more difficult for these banks to increase revenues, how much have they reacted on the cost side to meet earnings expectations?” Watson said. “When the economy is not performing as well and you can’t grow revenues as much as you want, you go after reducing costs to try and get your earnings line to where you want it to be, and I think that will be the big reveal next week — how far have the banks gone in terms of trimming costs?” Barclays analyst John Aiken says two interest rate cuts from the Bank of Canada this year have cut into banks’ net interest margins — the money that banks earn on the loans they provide. That’s despite the fact that the big lenders failed to pass along the Bank of Canada’s full 25 basis point interest rate cuts to consumers, cutting their prime rates by 15 basis points each time, instead. “We believe that ongoing margin compression will continue to linger through 2016,” Aiken said in a note to clients. “ The likelihood for higher interest rates, and resulting margin relief, continues to move farther down the road.”

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says falling oil prices won’t force her government to back away from a royalty review or a hike to corporate taxes. The benchmark price of a barrel of crude has fallen below US$40 a barrel for the first time since the end of the global economic crisis and oil prices have been falling solidly for eight consecutive weeks. Notley says Alberta still has the best tax regime in Canada and profitable companies can pay a bit more when times are tough. The Opposition Wildrose and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers have both urged the NDP government to hold off on raising corporate taxes and the royalty review. Notley says the review will look both at present day and the future, when prices are expected to rebound. She says the review will also take into account input from the industry. “Alberta still has by far the most competitive tax regime in the country and so when times get tough, those who are profitable should be paying just a little bit more,” Notley said. “We’ll be rolling out a jobs plan, an incentive plan, in the fall, understanding again that trying to diversify and stimulate the economy is a critical part to this.” Opposition Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said Notley’s actions will put more Albertans’ jobs at risk and hurt the economy. “There’s no doubt these policies are creating uncertainty in our economy, and will lead to investment fleeing the province,” Jean said in a news release. “We need Ms. Notley to step away from her ideology and start focusing on what’s best for this province.” Oil prices have fallen almost 60 per cent since this time last year and more than 34 per cent in the past three months.

The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 263.33 points at 13,473.67, a nearly 13 per cent decrease from its highs well above 15,000 in April. A drop of 10 per cent is considered a correction by traders. Nearly all of the sectors on the TSX closed lower, with the sole exception being the telecom segment, which gained slightly less than one per cent. South of the border, the Dow Jones industrial average was also in correction territory, losing a whopping 530.94 points to 16,459.75 — a decline of more than 10 per cent from its record high in May. The Nasdaq plummeted 171.45 points to 4,706.04 and the S&P 500 declined 64.84 points to 1,970.89. The latest sell-off has largely been a reaction to growing evidence of a slowdown in China’s economy, including Friday’s release of the Caixin purchasing managers’ index, which fell to an unexpectedly low 47.1 points. Anything below 50 indicates contraction. That prompted another steep sell-off on the Shanghai composite index, which closed down 4.3 per cent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 1.5 per cent. “Global stocks are now heading for their worst week of the year and that really follows from Chinese factory activity,” said Giles Marshall, portfolio manager at Fiduciary Trust Canada. “Concern over global growth really is the key story. The consensus expectations were for much stronger growth in the second half of this year and those expectations are now being challenged.” However, Marshall said

We almost had one in September and October of last year, but the market bounced again just before it reached 10 per cent levels.” In economic news, Canada’s annual inflation rate rose to 1.3 per cent in July, its highest level so far this year. On commodity markets, the benchmark oil price briefly dipped below US$40 a barrel around midday before recovering some of those losses. The October crude contract closed down 87 cents at US$40.45. The December gold contract rose $6.40 to US$1,159.60 an ounce, while September natural gas lost eight cents to US$2.68 per thousand cubic feet.

BRIEFS
NEB hearings into Trans Mountain pipeline expansion postponed CALGARY — The National Energy Board has postponed hearings that were supposed to begin next week into the Trans Mountain expansion project, which aims to connect Alberta crude with a Vancouver-area marine terminal. Pipeline builder Kinder Morgan filed evidence to the board that was prepared by Steven Kelly, a consultant with IHS Global Canada at the time. The problem is, Kelly has since been appointed to the board, with the position taking effect on Oct. 13. The hearing panel has decided to strike Kelly’s evidence from the record and has directed Kinder Morgan to list of any other evidence he prepared. It also wants to know whether Kelly’s evidence in support of the project will be replaced. The NEB says the hearing panel will not go ahead with oral arguments in Calgary on Monday or Burnaby, B.C., next month at this time and will outline its next steps once it gets the information it has requested from Kinder Morgan.
Eldorado Gold to halt all mining and development work at Greek project Eldorado Gold has decided to suspend all mining and development work in northern Greece starting next week after the leftist government on Wednesday revoked approval of technical studies for the project. The Vancouver-based gold miner also said it will be taking legal action against the decision, including filing an injunction request before the Greek Supreme Court on administrative and environmental issues. The company says the Greek government has objected to some test work

related to the technical reports being done in Finland rather than at the mine site in Halkidiki. Eldorado Gold chief executive Paul Wright said in a statement that the company is “most disappointed and perplexed by this entirely inappropriate decision” and that the company can’t continue operations while the Ministry of Energy is “openly hostile to our activities.” The work suspension means 2,000 people employed by Eldorado and its contractors at Halkidiki will be at least temporarily out of work, the company said. The Greek Environment Ministry accused the company of holding the workers “hostage,” saying Friday that the company had an obligation to continue operations not affected by the alleged violations. Eldorado says the government has suspended technical studies on the Skouries and Olympias gold mines it is developing in Halkidiki, but the suspension does not extend to the company’s operating silver-lead-zinc Stratoni mine in the area.
Laura’s Shoppe to close 20 womenswear stores and seek rent cuts on 26 others MONTREAL — Canadian retailer Laura’s Shoppe Inc. is planning to close 20 stores within a few weeks and seek rent reductions on 26 others as it restructures in an effort to ensure its survival. The stores will close by Sept. 13, says a report from the courtappointed monitor KPMG. Besides the Laura, Laura Petites and Laura Plus brands, the company operates under the Melanie Lyne banner. It wasn’t immediately clear which of the chain’s 162 locations are affected or how many of Laura’s 2,330 employees will lose their jobs. The company is also terminating leases at its office and warehouse in Laval, Que., and office in Mississauga, Ont. The Montreal-based company, founded in 1930, had almost $124 million in liabilities and only $72.5 million of assets as of July 4, according to the report. Laura’s Shoppe filed for creditor protection earlier this month. Its primary lender Salus Capital Partners of Massachusetts was owed almost $22 million.
Ashley Madison faces $578M Canadian class-action lawsuit BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DATA BREACH
TORONTO — Two Canadian law firms have filed a $578 million classaction lawsuit against the companies that run Ashley Madison after a hacker group’s data breach exposed some 39 million memberships in the adultery website earlier this week. Charney Lawyers and Sutts, Strosberg LLP, both of Ontario, said in a statement that they filed the lawsuit on behalf of Canadians who subscribed to Ashley Madison and whose personal information was disclosed to the public. The website, with its slogan “Life is short. Have an affair,” is marketed to facilitate extramarital relationships. The lawsuit, filed Thursday, targets Avid Dating Life Inc. and Avid Life Media Inc., the Toronto-based companies that run AshleyMadison.com. Its class-action status “still needs to be certified by the court,” the statement says. Ashley Madison did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It has said that the personal details exposed in the initial data leak can’t be used to prove the infidelity of their clients. The plaintiff is Eliot Shore, an Ottawa widower. Shore said he joined the website for a short time in search of companionship after he lost his wife to breast cancer. He said he never cheated and never met up with any members of the site. The lawsuit argues that the privacy of Canadian members was breached in July when hackers infiltrated Ashley Madison’s website and downloaded private information. The data breach includes users’ personal names, emails, home addresses and message history. On Tuesday, the information was posted publicly online. The law firms’ statement said numerous former users of the website have approached them to inquire about their privacy rights under Canadian law. “They are outraged that AshleyMadison.com failed to protect its users’ information. In many cases, the users
paid an additional fee for the website to remove all of their user data, only to discover that the information was left intact and exposed,” lawyer Ted Charney said in the statement. The law firms said the lawsuit is not being brought against the hackers, who have said they attacked the website in an effort to close it down as punishment for collecting a fee without actually deleting users’ data. The law firms did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and it was not clear in what court the classaction lawsuit was filed. There are hundreds of email addresses in the data release that appear to be connected to federal, provincial and municipal workers across Canada, as well as to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the military. According to the data breach, some of the website’s customers made credit-card transactions from computers attached to the Department of National Defence and Canada’s House of Commons. The data, stored in more than 2,500 files, involved transactions spanning from March 2008 to several days in June of this year. National Defence referred most questions to the federal Treasury Board, which has an overall responsibility. Lisa Murphy, spokeswoman for the Treasury Board, would only say that the government has rules for the professional and personal use of its computers. In a written statement, a DND spokeswoman echoed some of Murphy’s statement, and said the department “has policies and practices in place to deter, detect and enforce unauthorized and prohibited computer use.” The credit-card information of U.S. government workers, some with sensitive jobs in the White House, Congress and the Justice Department, was also revealed in the data breach.
Baytex Energy cutting capital spending BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Baytex Energy Corp. (TSX:BTE) has announced “difficult but necessary steps” to weather a prolonged oil downturn, including the suspension of its monthly dividend and a drop in spending. Shares in the Calgary-based oil producer closed down 70 cents, or 10.56 per cent, at $5.93 Friday on heavy trading of 9.6 million shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange going as low as $5.50 earlier in the session. U.S. benchmark crude prices have touched six-year lows over the past week — around US$41 a barrel. And Baytex said the price of heavy oil, like the type it produces in Alberta, is only about US$25 a barrel. “It is imperative that we position our company to withstand the current low commodity price environment. We are committed to taking the difficult but necessary steps to ensure the longterm sustainability of our business,” CEO James Bowzer said in a release. Baytex said it’s suspending its monthly cash dividend after the Sept. 15 payment of 10 cents per share to avoid having to borrow more money to pay shareholders. With the current
outlook, Baytex said it wouldn’t be generating enough funds from operations to pay a dividend, but will reinstate it when prices recover. It’s the second time Baytex has slashed its monthly payout to shareholders since oil prices began to plunge late last year. In December, it announced a dividend cut to 10 cents from 24 cents. The company said it will stop drilling in the Peace River and Lloydminster areas in Western Canada for the rest of this year and also look for further cost reductions the Eagle Ford shale in Texas. Baytex anticipates next year’s exploration and development spending will be around 25 per cent below the 2015 levels, dropping to a range of between $350 million and $400 million. This year, it’s expecting its spending to come in at $500 million, the bottom end of its projected range of $500 million to $575 million. “By recalibrating our business model in response to the current pricing environment, we believe we are preserving shareholder value in these extraordinary times and positioning our company for greater success when oil prices recover,” said Bowzer.

Yes, the Bible will disturb your emotional health BY TREVIN WAX SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Before you read this article, be warned! You may come across something you disagree with, or an idea that makes you uncomfortable, or a statement that causes offence. Please shut off your mobile device or close your browser, and back away slowly from your computer. I’m kidding, of course. But only a little. There’s a movement afoot in many universities and colleges across North America. It’s driven by the vision for the campus to be a “safe space” where ideas and words that make someone uncomfortable can be easily avoided. In New York magazine, Jonathan Chait describes it as a renewed strain of political correctness, a kind of “language policing” that poisons political debate and shuts down discussion. In The Atlantic, Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff argue that this strain of political correctness is primarily about “emotional well-being,” protecting students from psychological harm. It’s “the coddling of the American mind,” they say, in a twist on Allan Bloom’s famous work, The Closing of the American Mind. Violence, abuse, torture, rape, slavery — these are the warnings we’d have to issue by the time we finished reading Genesis. One example of turning college into a “safe space” is the recent trend of putting “trigger warnings” on books — alerts from a professor that something in the course may stir up a strong, emotional response from the students. The motivation behind trigger warnings is sensitivity to people who have had traumatic experiences, a way of letting them know they may be disturbed by what they read. Unfortunately, in a collegiate atmosphere tense with the fear of perpetual offense, the number of “triggers” have multiplied, and many of the most important books in history are getting labeled, and in some cases, dismissed. For example, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby gets a trigger warning because of its depiction of misogyny and abuse. The classic myths of ancient Greek literature get trigger warnings because of rape. Can you imagine how many trigger warnings the Bible would get? If there has ever been a book that is designed to make you uncomfortable and challenge your way of thinking, it’s the Bible. Christian radio stations love to say they’re “safe for the whole family,” but that slogan wouldn’t fit if they were reading the whole Bible out loud as part of their programming. Violence, abuse, torture, rape, slavery — these are the warnings we’d have to issue by the time we finished reading the Bible’s first book, Genesis. They assume it is damaging to our emotional health to come into contact with powerful ideas that may disturb us or challenge our outlook on life. The further you read, the more challenges you find to today’s political correctness. The storyline of the Bible starts with a God who created human beings in his image as the crowning achievement of his creation (trigger warning: speciesism!). He created humans male and female (gender binary alert!) to subdue and cultivate the Earth (ecology alert!), to join together as the two halves of humanity in covenant marriage (marriage discrimination!), to be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth with icons of his glory (overpopulation!). After the human race revolts against God, the stories of the Bible follow a long line of humans who are idolatrous to the core, willing to substitute anything and everything for worshipping God (low self-esteem!).
Mormon women named to three policymaking councils previously reserved for men BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The diagnosis for humanity is bleak, but the thread running through the narrative is one of God showing mercy and grace to his chosen people, Israel, (ethnocentrism!) in order that he might one day bless the whole world. For Christians, God’s rescue plan happens only through sacrifice — blood sacrifice that covers our guilt and shame (Sorry, PETA!). Their Bible climaxes with Jesus the Messiah who lives the life God always intended for humanity, shows the world what God is like, extends mercy to those who oppose him, and willingly offers himself as the final and ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world. In the Gospels, the trigger warnings multiply: torture, injustice, abuse, and execution. No “trigger warnings” stitched onto the earliest New Testament manuscripts would have been more accurate than to say, “Warning — this story may change your life.” Because, for 2,000 years, people who encounter Jesus in the pages of the New Testament find themselves transformed. And week after week, they gather to sing and celebrate the breaking of his body and the shedding of his blood (trigger warning: torture!). What happens when the tyrant forbidding us to read great literature is our own emotional wellbeing? Whether or not you believe the primary message of the Bible, surely we can agree that it is counterproductive to try and shield people from the most influential book of all time. This is where trigger warnings, no matter their good intentions, let us down. They assume it is damaging to our emotional health to come into contact with powerful ideas that may disturb us or challenge our outlook on life. I’m glad we live in a free society where we don’t have to worry about a totalitarian regime banning or burning certain books. But what happens when the tyrant forbidding us to read great literature is our own emotional well-being? What happens when we sever ourselves from the books that made Western civilization? If the coddling of the American mind continues unabated, with its tendency to dismiss ideas that offend us, we may one day find ourselves in a brave new world, a world in which the powerful won’t need to round up and burn “dangerous” books by force, because the populace will have already burned them all by choice.

BRIEF Only four in 10 U.S. Catholics know of Pope’s encyclical on climate change NEW YORK — A new survey has found fewer than half of U.S. Roman Catholics said they knew of Pope Francis’ bombshell encyclical on curbing climate change — and only a fraction of those heard about it from the pulpit — in the month after he released the document with an unprecedented call for the church to take up his message. Forty per cent of American Catholics and 31 per cent of all adults said they were aware of the encyclical, according to the poll by The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Yale University. Among Catholics who knew about the document, just 23 per cent said they heard about it at Mass. The survey, conducted July 17-19, provides an early measure of the impact of the encyclical in the U.S., where Francis is expected to press his teaching on the environment in his first visit to the country next month. The U.S. is home to some of the staunchest objectors to mainstream science on climate change and to government intervention aimed at easing global warming, along with a segment of Catholics who think the pope should be talking far more about marriage and abortion than the environment. In the encyclical, released June 18, Francis called global warming a largely manmade problem driven by overconsumption, a “structurally perverse” world economic system and an unfettered pursuit of profit that exploited the poor and risked turning the Earth into an “immense pile of filth.” He urged people of all faiths and no faith to save God’s creation for future generations. Environmental advocates hoped the encyclical would transform public discussion of climate change from a scientific to a moral issue. But Catholics in the survey were not significantly more likely than Americans in general to think of global warming in moral terms. Just 43 per cent of Catholics and 39 per cent of all adults said they considered global warming a moral issue.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon church for the first time has appointed women to three high-level church councils previously reserved only for men — a move scholars and Latter-day Saint feminists say marks a small, but noteworthy step in an ongoing push to increase visibility and prominence of women in the faith. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the appointments Tuesday evening of three high-ranking women to committees that make key policy decisions for a faith of 15 million worldwide members. The women are: Linda K. Burton, president of the faith’s largest organization for women called the Relief Society; Rosemary Wixom, president a branch dedicated to teaching children called General Primary; and Bonnie L. Oscarson, who leads the Young Women’s organization. Mormon leader Dallin H. Oaks, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, said in a statement that he is pleased the councils will have the women’s wisdom and participation. Jan Shipps, a retired religion professor from Indiana who is a non-Mormon expert on the church, called it an important change that was likely a response to pressure being applied in recent years by feminist Mormons. “It’s a way of saying women are important, but we are not going to make women members of the priesthood,” Shipps said. The church doesn’t appear close to opening the faith’s lay priesthood to women, but they’ve made other concessions in recent years that have marked steps forward for Mormons seeking to end gender inequality. In April 2013, history was made when a woman led the opening prayer at the faith’s semiannual general conference in Salt Lake City. Since October 2013, a church conference session that had previously been limited to men has broadcast live for all to watch. Mary Ellen Robertson, a representative of a prominent women’s group called Ordain Women, said she’s pleased by the appointments of the women to the councils, which will now make better decisions thanks to having the perspective of women.

Miffed granny fuming over bad advice Dear Harlan: I thought your advice to “Miffed Ex,” the man whose ex is making rude comments about him, was completely offbase and very disappointing. Digs always hurt — no matter the circumstances. You sound so cavalier about blatant rudeness. It doesn’t matter who might still love whom; there was a breakup for a HARLAN reason, which COHEN I’m pretty sure doesn’t include love. This girl (I don’t want to call her “woman” or “lady,” since she’s not acting like one) is enjoying what she thinks is her power over Miffed and is getting away with it. It’s extremely childish and immature. Being sensitive with her will accomplish virtually nothing, in my opinion. I’m not recommending harsh retorts; instead, I feel she needs to be dealt with in a firm manner so that it leaves no question that her behaviour is out of line. She has no right to do what she’s doing, and Miffed has every right to be
HELP
offended. Miffed sounds like a gentleman. Gentlemen are in short supply these days. It’s discouraging that you seem, in a way, to put the burden on him for this girl’s impudence. If he’s as nice as he sounds, he should consider himself very lucky that he and she are no longer together. I give Miffed a lot of credit for controlling himself, and truly hope he will find a respectful, mature lady in the future. I have lived many years more than you, Harlan. I know times have changed a lot since I was a young woman; however, good manners and respect are not passe, and never will be. — Annie Granny Dear Annie Granny: Yes, rude comments hurt, but I’m old-fashioned when it comes to offering advice. There are two sides to the story. I know only the one told to me. I see a man keeping his feelings a secret because he doesn’t want to have an honest conversation with an ex. Whether or not he still has feelings for his ex, a respectful relationship is built on honesty and trust. We’re on the same page — he needs to set firm boundaries. If she doesn’t respect them, he can politely move on. But getting miffed at me and the woman won’t fix this problem. It will just create more. Dear Harlan, I have an issue with your opinion that waiting too long to
marry means that you’re more likely to get divorced. I finally met the love of my life at the age of 40. He’s the first man not to treat me like trash and abuse me. I had a boyfriend who strangled me and left me for dead when I was in my 30s. Would you rather I had settled for him? Or how about the one in my 20s, who locked me in a room and beat the hell out of me? I should have married so much sooner, right? I will take the man who treats me with love and respect, even though I got together with him at 40, than wind up being battered or dead, thank you very much! Way to discourage anyone who isn’t college-age! — Happily Married Dear Happily Married: I didn’t say it — it’s published research. I only shared it. What I didn’t share were stories about people who married later in life and are happy. I’m grateful you made it out of that
awful relationship. The statistics don’t emphasize this part of the story. Congratulations for being a happy, healthy and loving partner. Wishing you a happily ever after. Hi Harlan: I’m having trouble with my parents letting go as I transition into college. I have about two weeks left at home, and it’s becoming torture. They use their financial support as incentive to know everything about my soon-to-be life at school. They believe that because they are covering a huge chunk of my tuition, they have the automatic right to call my school to ask for all my grades, health records, class schedules and extracurricular information to be forwarded to them. Specifically, my mother wants an intense background check on every student I get to know over Facebook. I’ve tried explaining that some of this oversteps even legal boundaries because I am 18, but I never seem to get them to understand. Is there a practical way to approach this? Please help! — Controlled

X15 Media Showcase gives gamers glimpses into upcoming titles BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Some of the industry’s biggest developers crowded into Toronto’s Sound Academy on Wednesday to show off their upcoming Xbox One titles at the X15 Media Showcase. Here’s a quick look at a few of the games that were on display: Halo 5: Guardians (343 Industries, developer; Microsoft, publisher) Spartan supreme Master Chief returns in the highly anticipated fifth core game in the “Halo” series of firstperson shooters. “Halo 5” promises a longer singleplayer campaign compared to its predecessors while continuing to play to its multiplayer strengths. Previous games had the laconic Master Chief taking on hordes of hostile aliens solo in the story mode, but in “Halo 5” it turns out he actually has friends. He is joined this time by three squadmates that can be played by other players in a co-op game or managed by the computer. Director Tim Longo said the idea with Master Chief’s team was to portray them as a group of squadmates who have fought together for a lifetime. This sense of family is more evident when introduced to the game’s other protagonists, the hastily assembled Fireteam Osiris. While a lot of attention has been given to the campaign, “Halo” lives and dies by its multiplayer. Longo said with the four-versus-four arena mode and the new 24-player warzones, there is plenty for new players and “Halo” veterans to enjoy. The Xbox One exclusive is set to be released on Oct. 27. Rise of the Tomb Raider (Crystal Dynamics, developer; Square Enix and Microsoft, publishers)

STORY FROM PAGE C9
HARLAN: Power
The adventures of Lara Croft continue in the second game of the rebooted “Tomb Raider” series. “Rise of the Tomb Raider” takes place after the events of 2013’s reboot, and players will get to know a more self-assured Lara as she travels to Siberia to investigate an ancient lost city. While the previous game was combat heavy, Crystal Dynamics senior designer Philippe Therien said “Rise of the Tomb Raider” balances the fighting with exploration. In short, there’s more actual raiding of tombs. “This time around she really becomes a tomb raider,” he said. “We have bigger and many more tombs. And we have archaeology in the game. When Lara goes through tombs she can lean different languages that allows her to decipher these monoliths, and when she does that leads her to new treasures and areas.” NHL 2016 (EA Canada, developer; EA Sports, publisher) One of the criticisms of the otherwise well-received “NHL 2015” was that it lacked some of the popular features the series was known for. EA Sports producer Sean Ramjagsingh said the message was received. “Coming off NHL 15 it was important for us, right off the bat, to work as close with the fans as possible,” he said. “With 16 this year, it was really about making it fun to play from every position on the ice.” As well as bringing back some popular gameplay modes, “NHL 16” introduces an in-game training system that adapts as the player increases in skill. “We really want you to be able to get to the fun fast, so it will give you hints, teach you the basic controls of the game and teach you the basics of hockey,” Ramjagsingh said. “So you’re always learning and always getting better at it.”
Dear Controlled: It’s a parent power grab. They’re scared. They love you. They are losing control. If you’re an 18-year-old, you have FERPA on your side. This is the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (www2.ed.gov/ policy/gen/guid/ fpco/ferpa/index.html). Basically, your parents have no legal access to your grades. If they don’t like it, have them talk to your school’s dean of students office. They’ll probably ask you to sign a waiver, but you can always sign and change your mind later. I know. It sucks. Tolerate it. Don’t let their fears distract you. The last thing you need is more pressure, anxiety and freaking out about your parents, but this is what you have. Once their fears are calmed, you will be able to communicate with them. Once you create a productive life at your campus, their irrational fears will fade. For now, find people on campus who can support, guide and help you. The more you push back, the more they will try to control you. Dear Harlan: I am going to begin my freshman year of college in about two weeks. I have declared my major as music education, and have been rewarded an extra $1,000 on top of the academic scholarship I was rewarded from my extremely expensive school. Throughout high school, I could never picture myself doing anything other
than music, and every day of my highschool career was focused around that. I never really opened up to other things. I recently have started to question my choice of major and choice of my career path. I have been thinking of going into a science field, like biology or neuroscience, and then go on a pre-med track in the hopes of going to medical school. I don’t want to take all music classes, buy all the books and then end up switching my major to science, but I also don’t want to change to a science major, buy all the books and take the classes, and then end up not using any of my credits toward being a music major or a different major. I am so very confused with all of this in my head. Please help! — Different Tune Dear Different Tune: Stick with your plan. No big changes right now. Talk to the academic adviser in the department that interests you. Ask what classes you need to take during your first year — in case you decide to switch later. See if you can take prerequisites that can be transferred, should you change majors. What matters most is that you see what feels right once you arrive on campus. Give it a semester — but talk with your academic adviser once you arrive on campus. Cool?

Vertically inclined garden THINK TALL, NOT NECESSARILY BIG, TO MAKE YOUR GARDEN GROW BY JENNIFER FORKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If your garden is missing something, perhaps it’s height. While it’s too late to plant tall-growing delphiniums or hollyhocks, you can achieve this same vertical interest with a garden tower. They’re easy enough to make. And sculptural pieces also draw the eye. “When planting drifts of annuals and perennials, a sculpture can create an exciting focal point that the plantings accent and enhance,” says interior and garden designer Kathryn Boylston of Evergreen, Colorado. Sculpture often can be moved to fill in bare spots as the growing season evolves. To make a garden tower, Boylston recommends thinking tall — at least a meter high. She makes and sells totems out of colorful ceramic pieces that she learned to make in a ceramics class. She offers several different heights at Sundance by Design, the garden-art store she manages in Evergreen. She builds the pieces at home — rollPhoto by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ing and cutting out sections on her kitchen counter — and fires them at a studio.

A new school year, a new chance to get organized BY MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS As she raises two daughters while managing a yoga studio, Jennifer Derryberry Mann swears by Google calendars on her phone. For Kelly Ubinger, working and raising four kids requires a huge, paper wall calendar with everyone’s activities recorded. Single mom El Brown uses the digital organizing app Cozi to co-ordinate life with her son while running a business and pursuing a degree. “Families with kids can wing it on lazy summer mornings,” says Cynthia Ewer, founder of OrganizedHome.com. But “back-to-school brings new organizational challenges” As the school year begins, some suggestions on creating and improving a family system that works:
Where Designate spots for permission slips, soccer cleats, musical instruments and more — what Ewer calls “the miscellany that will float through the household starting on the first day of school” — so you don’t waste time trying to find it each day. She suggests creating a “family launch pad” in a common area. You
might place a file box on a shelf and fill it with colour-coded folders (one for each child’s paperwork), or tack plastic pouches to a wall, each labeled with a child’s name. Donna Smallin Kuper, founder of Unclutter.com, uses Post-It Wall Pockets for this purpose. Add hooks beneath the pouches or shelf for jackets and lunch boxes, and place labeled bins on the floor beneath each hook. Have kids drop backpacks in their bin, along with other items that go with them to school. Bins and baskets are helpful for kids, says Smallin Kuper, because tossing shoes or unfolded clothing in them is much simpler — and more likely to happen — than arranging shoes in a row, or folding clothes and putting them in drawers. Jennifer Yates has created a family “command centre” using two old window screens, one for each child. She glued clothespins onto the frames for posting papers; attached wooden hymnal holders reclaimed from church pews to hold other papers and small items; and added a row of hooks.
What The family organization app Cozi (at Cozi.com) includes a calendar function that can be shared among family members’ devices and easily updated by kids or parents. The app also lets you
record meal plans, and shopping and “to do” lists. Similarly, Outlook, Apple and Google calendars can be customized with colour-coded entries for each family member, and updated and shared among devices. If you prefer low-tech, a large paper calendar hung in a central spot can be colour-coded for each person, and you can achieve some of the portability of a digital calendar by snapping a photo of the calendar with your phone before leaving home. Mann, the yoga teacher, combines both approaches: She uses Google calendar but also has her daughters’ schedules written in colorful marker and tacked to the wall. A digital list-maker can help you avoid making multiple, time-consuming trips to the store. Family members can update it from wherever they are, and you can look at it while you’re running errands. (Besides Cozi, check out the Evernote and Omnifocus apps.)
When Ubinger goes through the kids’ backpacks to retrieve papers as soon as they get home, signing permission slips and adding appointments to her calendar to make sure they’re not forgotten. Smallin Kuper suggests getting kids involved in keeping things organized;
it’s “a way to strengthen bonds.” “You might even have just one child help you for the week with cleaning, laundry and meal prep. It makes them feel special to have that one-on-one time with you, and they are learning skills for life,” she says.
Embrace routine Routine can be a powerful force to keep families on track. For younger kids, post a “morning checklist” and “bedtime checklist” in their rooms. The morning plan might specify which sibling gets the bathroom first, and remind them to brush their teeth. The bedtime routine can include laying out clothes for the morning and making sure homework is in the backpack. Kids also can help set the table for the next morning, Smallin Kuper says. To keep homework on schedule, she suggests the TimeTimer app. “It counts down the time with a red disk that makes it easy to see how much time has elapsed and how much time is left,” she says. If this all sounds like a lot of work, think of what the alternative might look like (frazzled). And when your carefully constructed system does occasionally fail, remember that you can try again tomorrow.”

Comfort in a room with high ceilings
Dear Debbie: We bought a fixer-upper last year, and are renovating the kitchen and bathrooms this summer. So many decisions. We are trying to be eco-smart about faucets, toilets and the shower, but are concerned that the lower water will not give us very good output. And also more expensive. What do you think? — Marcel Dear Marcel: Conserving water is one of today’s biggest challenges. Most of us living in North America are simply not used to the idea that there isn’t an endless supply. I understand your concerns about performance, but with the innovative work that has been done by eco-conscious companies that manufacture plumbing products, there are excellent options that meet your DEBBIE demands and save signifiTRAVIS cant amounts of water. Staying with your existing (old) plumbing, you can save water by taking shorter showers, turning off water while brushing teeth, and being conscious of how often you turn the tap on. While this is helpful, it is not enough. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program, massive amounts of water will be saved by switching to water-efficient fixtures and technologies. When you are shopping for your fixtures, look for the WaterSense label, and discuss the performance quality with knowledgeable staff. Buying high performance water-efficient products will be the best investment you can make. Here are some products from Kohler that will help you save water (www.kohler.ca and www.kohler. com). The Sensate kitchen faucet features touchless control, moving your hand or utensil under the nozzle turns the water on or off, so no waste. Their Purist kitchen faucet has a low flow aerator option and a pause function on the spray for operating outside the sink. For your bathroom, look for toilets that have high efficient flush options such as dual flushers. Customize your shower with Kohler’s DTV digital interface. It allows you to set spray patterns and water temperature. To help save water, this interface has a pause button to stop water flow for up to two minutes and you can also set the shower duration.
HOUSE TO HOME
CREATIVE SPACE
In a home with an extremely high ceiling height, it is important to design the seating areas in a way that emphasizes a comfortable, human scale. Should you choose to relocate the wall unit, the empty space could display a large piece of artwork — either a painting or a wall-mounted sculpture. This space is visible from the hall and is the first thing anyone sees of your living room as they come up the hallway and establishes expectations for the whole room. Given the size and daytime light levels in the room, I would opt to use a dramatic tone on the walls — a slate grey, for example — and a pure white ceiling for contrast. If you have hardwood floors, keep them natural and use area carpets that emphasize texture over colour. Where ceilings are high, wall sconces that direct their light upward and wash both the wall and the ceiling, will be attractive and dramatic. At the fireplace, spot lighting could illuminate the wall, creating interesting shadows on the stonework. Window blinds, such as Roman shades or horizontal shades, will help control light levels in the room during the day while maintaining the views. They will also offer the maximum amount of evening privacy. Generally, try to avoid large, colourful patterns and overly busy furniture styles in favour of simple lines of the contemporary classics in neutral tones, and use texture and wood grains to add warmth to the space.

New exterior colour scheme Dear Debbie: We live in a ranch style bungalow and recently replaced the siding in a light sage green colour, window frames and doors are white. In the middle of the front is a porch with a wall of burnt orange brick. What would you suggest for roof (colour, style) and would you paint the brick? Would you change the colour of the entry and garage doors? Thank you. — Darlene

Question: We built our beautiful chalet-style home last year. It was designed in a contemporary style that, at the time, seemed logical given our existing furniture, but we have been having trouble planning the furniture layout for the living and dining rooms. We had hoped to use the area for enjoying fires, for music and watching television. The views, both to the outside through the large windows, and inside featuring the soaring six-metre (20-foot) cathedral ceilings, makes it difficult to decide furniture orientation. We currently have a sofa, matching love seat, an easy chair with ottoman, a coffee table and several end tables, as well as a wall unit that houses books and electronics. At one time, the television was mounted above the fireplace, but I didn’t like the way it seemed to dominate the room. In the dining room, we have a large antique table and upholstered chairs, as well as a few large plants. DAVID Answer: Presumably you FERGUSON chose this architectural style because you loved it, so I think it will be most important to treat the chalet style as the star attraction. In the living room, the ceiling soars from 2.5 metres (eight feet) at the expansive, southern exposure window wall, to more than six metres (20 feet) at the fireplace wall. That in itself would be dramatic enough, but you also have two beautiful views to contend with. The dining room has a similar slope, another expansive window wall as well as a patio door. Both rooms are large and well proportioned. The secret to handling this type of space is to let the architecture dominate. The problem you are likely to face when decorating this space will be maintaining intimate, human scale areas. I have tried to include all of your existing furniture on the plan I have drawn. There is a comfortable view of the fireplace and the television, now located in the corner, from both the sofa and the easy chairs. The view through the window can be appreciated from both the love seat and the easy chairs. An important aspect of the room is easy access to the electronic equipment that is housed in the wall unit. While I am sure that this arrangement will make a very comfortable room, it may not the best way to take advantage of the space’s potential drama. You might consider finding another space to house the shelving unit, and to take a sober second look at whether the television is best located on the fireplace wall. Generally, taller pieces will work best in this open space and you will want to choose pieces that will emphasize the room’s height and complement this dramatic architectural feature.

STORY FROM PAGE D2
HOME: Maximize the entrance with low plants Dear Darlene: Think about what you want to see when you look at your house. I would maximize the entrance, which is almost hidden behind tall bushes and shrubs. Start by moving them to the side of the house beside the garage and plant a low garden along the entrance path. Choose a darker shade of your sage green to cover the white on the garage door so that it is less prominent. The front door is a home’s welcoming focal point; it is up to you how you would like to treat it. You can go bold with a contrasting
colour or paint the same shade as the brick. Warm grey, black or woody brown are classic. One option for the roof would be to replace the shingles with rusty orange tiles that would tie in with the entrance brick. Tiles are more expensive but would be stunning. A dark grey roof tile would also work well, tying in with the mortar around the bricks. Leave the bricks natural, they make an attractive contrast with your siding.

SIFERT Gordon 1956 - 2015 Mr. Gordon Wesley Sifert of Red Deer, sadly passed away on Sunday, August 16, 2015 at the age of 58 years. Gordon was born on December 17, 1956 at Regina, Saskatchewan. Gordon received his education in Red Deer; beginning in 1963, attending Central Elementary and Middle Schools and Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School. He left Lindsay Thurber in Grade Eleven, later graduating with his GED Equivalent from Red Deer College, in 1980. Sadly during the summer of 1988, Gordon sustained a traumatic brain injury as the result of a work related accident. Although he faced certain challenges, his spirit remained true; Gordon was a gentle soul, with a heart of gold. He had a wonderful sense of humor and truly loved people. He was especially fond of supporting those who were mentally challenged and disadvantaged; helping others was important to him. Gordon was a man of great integrity, with a sincere and caring heart. Honesty and respect was of the utmost importance to him, and being a man of his word. Gordon loved playing crib, squash and racquetball; he loved animals and always kept informed of current world events.

NKorea rattles sabers PUTS TROOPS ON STANDBY, WARNS SOUTH KOREA OF RETALIATION BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PYONGYANG, Korea, Democratic People’s Republic Of — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday declared his front-line troops in a “quasistate of war” and ordered them to prepare for battle a day after the most serious confrontation between the rivals in years. South Korea’s military on Thursday fired dozens of artillery rounds across the border in response to what Seoul said were North Korean artillery strikes meant to back up a threat to attack loudspeakers broadcasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda. The spike in tensions prompted the U.S. and South Korea to briefly halt an annual military exercise that began this week, U.S. defence officials said Friday. North Korea had criticized the drills, calling them a preparation for invasion, although the U.S. and South Korea insist they are defensive in nature. The North’s declaration Friday is similar to its
other warlike rhetoric in recent years, including repeated threats to reduce Seoul to a “sea of fire,” and the huge numbers of soldiers and military equipment already stationed along the border mean the area is always essentially in a “quasi-state of war.” Still, the North’s apparent willingness to test Seoul with military strikes and its recent warning of further action raise worries because South Korea has vowed to hit back with overwhelming strength should North Korea attack again. Pyongyang says it did not fire anything at the South, a claim Seoul dismissed as nonsense. Kim Jong Un ordered his troops to “enter a wartime state” and be fully ready for any military operations starting Friday evening, according to a report in Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency. The North has also given Seoul a deadline of Saturday evening to remove border loudspeakers that, after a lull of 11 years, have started broadcasting anti-Pyongyang propaganda. Failure, Pyongyang says, will result in further military action. Seoul has
vowed to continue the broadcasts. The North’s media report said that “military commanders were urgently dispatched for operations to attack South Korean psychological warfare facilities if the South doesn’t stop operating them.” South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, citing an unidentified government source, reported Friday that South Korean and U.S. surveillance assets detected the movement of vehicles carrying short-range Scud and medium-range Rodong missiles in a possible preparation for launches. South Korea’s Defence Ministry said it could not confirm the report. North Korea said the South Korean shells fired Thursday landed near four military posts but caused no injuries. No one was reported injured in the South, either, though hundreds were evacuated from front-line towns. The loudspeaker broadcasts began after South Korea accused the North of planting land mines that maimed two South Korean soldiers earlier this month. North Korea denies this, too.
Militants demolish monastery BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DAMASCUS, Syria — Islamic State extremists in Syria and Iraq are engaged in the “most brutal, systematic” destruction of ancient sites since Second World War, the head of the UN cultural agency said Friday — a stark warning that came hours after militants demolished a 1,500-year-old monastery in central Syria. The world’s only recourse is to try to prevent the sale of looted artifacts, thus cutting off a lucrative stream of income for the militants, UNESCO chief Irina Bokova said. A series of recent attacks has stoked fears that IS is accelerating its campaign to demolish and loot heritage sites. On Friday, witnesses said the militants bulldozed St. Elian Monastery in central Syria. Days earlier, IS beheaded an 81-year-old antiquities scholar who had dedicated his life to overseeing the ruins of Palmyra in Syria, one of the Middle East’s most spectacular archaeological sites. Since capturing about a third of Syria and Iraq last year, IS fighters have destroyed mosques, churches and archaeological sites, causing extensive damage to the ancient cities of Nimrud, Hatra and Dura Europos in Iraq. In May, they seized Palmyra, the Roman-era city on the edge of a modern town of the same name. “We haven’t seen something similar since the Second World War,” Bokova said of the scope of the IS campaign against ancient sites. “I think this is the biggest attempt, the most brutal systematic destruction of world heritage.” Bokova said recent images of archaeological sites under IS control in Iraq and Syria show signs of widespread illegal digging and looting. “If you look at the maps, the photos, the satellite pictures of it, you will not recognize one place,” she said. “It is just hundreds of holes all around them.” There is very little the world can do to stop the extremists from inflicting more damage, she said, but stopping the trafficking in artifacts must be a priority. Bokova spoke hours after IS posted photos on social media showing bulldozers destroying the St. Elian Monastery near the town of Qaryatain in central Syria. The group had captured the town in early August. A Qaryatain resident who recently fled to Damascus said militants levelled the shrine and removed church bells. The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear his relatives still in Qaryatain might be harmed, called on the United Nations to protect Christians and Christian sites. Osama Edward, the director of the Christian Assyrian Human Rights Network, said shelling of the area by Syrian government troops over the past two weeks had already damaged the monastery. “Daesh continued the destruction of the monastery,” said Edward, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.

BRIEF Guatemala detains former VP in graft scandal, seeks to investigate president GUATEMALA CITY — Ex-Vice-President Roxana Baldetti was detained Friday in connection with a customs corruption scandal that led to her resignation, and prosecutors announced they are seeking to investigate President Otto Perez Molina in the matter. Prosecutors said they have enough evidence to presume that Baldetti, who is suspected of illicit association, fraud and graft, took part in a scheme that is believed to have defrauded the state of millions of dollars. They said they are seeking to have Perez Molina’s immunity of office withdrawn so they can investigate his possible involvement. Documents seized in raids “lead one to consider it highly probable that the president of the republic may have participated in the same” scheme, Attorney General Thelma Aldana said at a news conference. Baldetti was informed of her detention at a hospi-

Police officers investigate on a platform next to a Thalys train at Arras train station, northern France, Friday. A gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris Friday, wounding three people before being subdued by two American passengers, officials said. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking in Arras in northern France where the suspected was detained, said one of the Americans was hospitalized with serious wounds.
Gunman subdued by two Americans BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANCE
PARIS — A gunman opened fire on a high-speed train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris on Friday, wounding two people before two American passengers subdued him, officials said. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking in Arras in northern France where the suspected was detained, said one of the Americans was hospitalized with serious wounds. Their names were not immediately released. Philippe Lorthiois, an official with the Alliance police union, said on i-Tele that the two Americans were soldiers. In Washington, the Pentagon said it “can only confirm that one U.S. military member was injured in the incident. The injury is not lifethreatening.” The White House issued a statement saying that President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting, and said, “While the investigation into the attack is in its early stages, it is clear that their heroic actions may have prevented a far worse tragedy.” Contrary to early reports, Lorthiois said the attacker did not fire his automatic weapon but wounded one man with a handgun and the other with a blade of some kind. The suspect is a 26-year-old Moroccan, according to Sliman Hamzi, an official with the police union Alliance, who spoke on French television i-Tele. Investigators from France’s special anti-terror police are leading the investigation, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor’s office said.
“As always where an act that could be terrorist in nature is involved, the greatest care and the greatest precision will be used,” Cazeneuve said. Cazeneuve said the two Americans “were particularly courageous and showed great bravery in very difficult circumstances” and that “without their sangfroid we could have been confronted with a terrible drama.” A third person, French actor Jean-Hugues Anglade, suffered a minor injury while activating the train’s emergency alarm, Lorthiois said. The attack took place at 1545 GMT while the Thalys train was passing through Belgium, according to a statement from the office President Francois Hollande. Hollande said he’s spoken with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, and the two leaders pledged to co-operate closely on the investigation. A young woman said on i-Tele that she was in the carriage next to the one which the gunman struck. “I wouldn’t call it a fusillade, because even in the next wagon we didn’t hear any shots,” said Margaux, who declined to give her last name. She said passengers remained “relatively calm,” and some showed no concern until police boarded the train. Europe’s major rail stations, such as Paris’ Gare du Nord and Brussels’ Gare du Midi, are patrolled by soldiers armed with rifles, but passengers can board most high-speed trains without passing through metal detectors or having their bags searched.
tal where she was seeking treatment for health problems. She has denied any involvement in the scandal at the customs agency, which involved kickbacks paid by businesspeople to avoid import duties. A judge ordered a medical examination of Baldetti to establish her health. The National Forensic Sciences Institute said Baldetti was healthy and could face justice. Perez Molina also has denied involvement, and a recent bid to lift his immunity died in Congress last week. A criminal ring known as “La Linea,” or “The Line,” was allegedly led by Baldetti’s aide, Juan Carlos Monzon Rojas, who is currently a fugitive. Authorities presented a chart diagramming the structure’s alleged organization that showed Monzon as the mastermind.

Aid group makes dramatic appeal to warring Yemen sides SANAA, Yemen — A leading international aid group on Friday made a dramatic appeal to Yemen’s warring factions to halt attacks on civilians, a day after heavy fighting in a key city killed more than 65 people and wounded at least 23. Doctors Without Borders also said it was unable to reach the hospitals in Taiz, Yemen’s third largest city, where fighting intensified on Thursday. “We call on the warring parties to stop attacking civilian targets, especially hospitals, ambulances and densely populated neighbourhoods and allow medical personnel and humanitarian organizations to provide assistance,” the aid group, also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres or MSF, said in a statement. Yemeni security officials said the violence in Taiz began with Shiite rebels, also known as Houthis, first shelling residential areas and killing 23 civilians.

Better to assist than to worry about kudos Dear Annie: I recently spoke to my 80-year-old dad about taking him to his home state to attend an upcoming event. I thought it might be nice to see other family members, too. I planned to contact relatives and reserve a pavilion at a nearby park for other group activities. I mentioned the idea to my MITCHELL sister, so she & SUGAR could save the date. I did not ask for her input or help. But the next thing I knew, she had contacted the relatives, booked a block of hotel rooms, and is making plans for this mini-family reunion. This irritates me to no end. After

all, this was my idea. I told her I was annoyed by her takeover of the event. Now, she is not speaking to me. Was I wrong to want to make the plans without her interference? —Big Sister Dear Big Sister: We assume this type of sibling rivalry has gone on since the two of you were kids. You want credit for coming up with the idea and planning it according to your preferences, and your sister hijacked the idea and is now getting the kudos for arranging it. We understand your irritation, but it won’t do you any good. So try instead to work on a way to make this a joint project. Call your sister and say you are sorry you didn’t include her in the planning to begin with. (Seriously, it won’t kill you.) Ask how you can assist with her ideas, and then tell her the things you were considering and enlist her help. We know such an approach will take a great deal of patience and tolerance

from you, but this is absolutely not worth the current fight. If you need the relatives to appreciate your efforts, you can clarify that in person at the mini-reunion. Dear Annie: OMG, “Living in the ‘70s” sounds so much like me! He said he found out that his wife had slept with a rival 40 years ago, before they married, and since then, he can’t let it go. My wife and I have been married for 43 years. When we were engaged, a guy that I didn’t much care for gave her all kinds of attention. She put our relationship on hold twice, but he seemed out of our lives after we married. Sixteen years later, my wife was hospitalized, and guess who showed up to visit? The hammer really hit my head five years ago. We were finishing the last sips of a glass of wine when she tells me that she had an affair with this guy after her hospital stay. It blew me away.
You recommended counselling to “Living.” I tried that, but three different counsellors later, I still cannot let it go. Like “Living,” my wife has been a wonderful friend, partner, mom and grandmother, and she does not deserve my occasional angry outbursts over something so old. How do I put this out of my mind?— Comments Please Dear Comments: Trust is such a fragile thing. No one expects you to forget about this affair. The best you can do is control your response so there are fewer “angry outbursts.” If you are willing to try counseling again, please ask the counselor to work specifically on that.

sumer Services, which argues that skim milk can’t be sold as skim milk unless vitamins are added to it. But that goes against the all-natural philosophy at the creamery located about 50 miles west of the state capital. “Our customers want an all-natural product. If we call it imitation, they will not buy our product,” Mary Lou Wesselhoeft said after the court hearing. “To me it’s degrading and a slap in the face because it’s pure, unadulterated skim milk.” Webster’s dictionary defines skim milk as simply “milk from which cream has been removed,” with no mention of added vitamins. But Department lawyer Ashley Davis told a judge consumers expect whole milk and skim milk to have the same nutritional value and that the Wesselhoefts’ skim milk is nutritionally inferior because vitamins are removed when the milk fat is removed. “Ocheessee’s product is imitating — literally imitating — skim milk,” Davis said. Judge Robert Hinkle said he’s not so sure consumers expect skim milk to have the same nutritional value as whole milk.
BRIEF State tells all-natural dairy to label its skim milk ‘imitation’ because no vitamins are added TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Ocheesee Creamery in the Florida Panhandle produces all-natural skim milk from grass-fed cows with absolutely nothing added, yet the state says they have to call it “imitation.” And while they argue about it, the dairy is dumping hundreds of gallons of skim milk down the drain each week. Creamery owners Paul and Mary Lou Wesselhoeft were in federal court Wednesday as part of their nearly three-year-old battle with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Con-
