“How can you react?” MAN CAUGHT FLOSSING WHILE DRIVING AMONG 32 PEOPLE TICKETED FOR DISTRACTED DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY BY CRYSTAL RHYNO ADVOCATE STAFF A driver was caught using his knees to steer while flossing his teeth behind the wheel on Wednesday. The motorist was one of 32 people slapped with a $287 distracted driving fine at eight high-collision areas in Red Deer. Red Deer RCMP Sgt. Al Nickolson said distracted driving is very much on the police’s radar. He said incidents of rear-end collisions are very high in the city and can mostly be attributed to distracted driving. “When you have both hands on a piece of floss … how can you react?” he said. Other provinces, like Ontario, seem to be further ahead with higher fines and a system to deduct demerits from drivers who are caught, he said. When he was in Ontario recently, Nickolson noticed few people distracted behind the wheel. “But when I look at Red Deer, it’s like an epidemic,” he said. “We are just trying to out there and educate people. If somebody runs into the back of someone, there’s usually a reason why you’re distracted.” He said there is a lot of work to be done in Red Deer. Nickolson said most of the drivers were either texting or talking on their cellphones. He said they often hold it to the side or on their laps. “These are not harmless actions,” he said. “They make a driver three times more likely to be involved in a

As police, we have seen the collisions, and the serious injury or death, that can result from these types of actions.” He said they want to get the message out to turn off phones or leave them at home. “We came in with cellphones and texting and brought in the legislation,” said Nickolson. “Just like when the seatbelt law came effect in 1985 in Alberta. It took people quite a while to get the wear rate up. Now we are seeing a lot less serious injuries and fatals because people are wearing their seatbelts.” Over the course of eight hours on Wednesday, police issued 14 seatbelt infractions, seven speeding tickets, 17 warnings and 13 other non-moving violations. Police nabbed offenders near Gaetz Avenue and 67th Street, Ross Street, 22nd Street, Taylor Drive, 19th Street and 32nd Street and other locations. RCMP conduct traffic campaigns year-round to target a variety of dangerous driving habits, all with the goal of creating safer roads and reducing collision-related injuries and deaths in Red Deer. crhyno@reddeeradvocate.com

Federal leaders spar over economy at election debate BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — It-could-be-worse squared off against it-could-be-better Thursday as the main federal party leaders took to an election debate stage in Calgary to lay out their economic visions — and try to break a three-way deadlock in the polls. Stephen Harper, look- TRUDEAU COMES ing to extend UNDER FIRE AT his Conserva- DEBATE A3 tive government rule into a second decade, maintained that a stay-the-course, tax-cutting agenda with balanced federal budgets is the safe road to prosperity. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau animatedly countered that now’s the time for some national optimism and investment in the future — even if it comes at the expense of a balanced budget. Literally between them in a room at the BMO Centre in Stampede Park, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair tried to split the difference, arguing it’s time to let a New Democrat government take the helm after a uniform Canadian history alternating between Grits and Tories in power — and to give Canadians a choice between Harper’s “snooze button” and Trudeau’s “panic button.” But it was Harper’s calm, phlegmatic approach, contrasted with Trudeau’s aggressive machine-gun jabs that set the dynamic for the sharp-elbowed, 90-minute exchange. The prime minister acknowledged several times that economic growth hasn’t been strong under his watch, but made the case that Canada has weathered international storms better than anyone else in the developed world. “It hasn’t been great because we are living in a terribly unstable global economy,” Harper said at one point. “I’ve never said things are great,”

NDP leader Tom Mulcair shakes hands with Conservative leader Stephen Harper as Liberal leader Justin Trudeau looks on during their introduction prior to the Globe and Mail hosted leaders’ debate in Calgary on Thursday. he added at another, before stressing Canada’s comparative global advantage. “Where would you rather have been but in Canada?” he asked. “Looking forward, where would you want to be but Canada?” Trudeau, who has been the subject of derisive Conservative advertising campaigns questioning his experience and competence since he was first elected Liberal leader in 2013, repeatedly talked over Harper to make his case that Canada’s moribund economy needs growth — and a Liberal government can help deliver it. The lone leader in the debate who is proposing to run deficits over the

next three years, Trudeau challenged Harper by likening Canadians to homeowners taking on a mortgage or a renovation loan. With rock-bottom interest rates and slack in the economy, “If this isn’t the time to invest, what would be?” asked Trudeau. “This is the time to invest in the future of our country. Canadians know this. The only two people who don’t know this are the two gentlemen on this stage.” Harper responded that the Conservatives are doing exactly that, without raising taxes and while balancing the books.

Construction has just begun on Lacombe’s police station and it has already gone over budget. Oversights and a little bad luck pushed the price tag up by $300,000 for the $8.5-million station being built on the city’s east side at 53rd Avenue and Wolf Creek Drive. The first sign of trouble came when a decades-old unmapped borrow pit filled with several metres of black dirt was found on the site. Nine bore holes were drilled as part of a geothechnical assessment but just missed finding the pit full of soil, which is unsuitable for building upon. It cost about $110,000 to remove the soil and replace it with material suitable for building on. A second problem arose when a water line was unexpectedly discovered running through the middle of the site. No easement existed on city plans indicating a water line, which also went undetected by engineers and city staff because of other miscues. Moving the line will cost about $160,000. Another $26,000 needs to be spent on unplanned drainage upgrades. Lacombe infrastructure services director Matthew Goudy said there had been some “overlapping oversights” that led to the late changes to the project. “No matter what, we would have had to move the (water) line and would have incurred those costs. But it should have been known ahead of time,” said Goudy.

Quill Lake flood diversion proposal sunk in Saskatchewan after public feedback REGINA — A proposal to divert water from a rising salty lake in central Saskatchewan has been sunk, but residents near Quill Lake say something still needs to be done to prevent flooding. The project would have reduced Quill Lake water levels by diverting fresher water from Kutawagan Creek away from Quill Lake to Last Mountain Lake. “The Quill Lakes people felt the project didn’t go far enough, that it wasn’t enough of an inlet to make a huge

DEBATE: More of the same Just more of the same, argued Mulcair. “For the first time in our history, there is another choice,” said the former Quebec Liberal cabinet minister. He painted both the federal Liberals and Conservatives as cynical and scandal-prone. “I’m tired of watching successive Liberal and Conservative governments dump these massive ecological, economic and social debts on the backs of future generations,” said Mulcair, who says he won’t run deficits while investing in social programs, but will raise corporate income taxes. Green party Leader Elizabeth May, who was excluded from the debate, used Twitter to post a series of real-time video rebuttals and counterpoints. Her post mortem? The Big Three were “scripted and phoney,” and the debate quickly became “three guys yelling at each other.” The debate, sponsored by the Globe and Mail, was supposed to focus on the economy, Harper’s comfort zone, but at times veered into more swampy territory such as climate change and refugee policy.

difference on the rise or to accelerate the decline of that lake,” Environment Minister Herb Cox said Thursday. “Downstream, the Last Mountain Lake folks and into the Qu’Appelle chain, a lot of their concerns were on misinformation I think, on misunderstanding. They seem to feel that it was saline water that was going to be coming downstream, when in fact that wasn’t the case.” Cox said the water would have had a “marginally higher” saline content than the water in Last Mountain Lake, but it would be lower than the Quill Lake system. Quill Lake is a salty lake in a closed basin, meaning there’s nowhere for water to naturally drain. It has risen about 6.5 metres since 2005 and another metre would mean an uncontrolled spill of saline water downstream into fresh water lakes. Kerry Holderness, spokesman for the Quill Lakes Flood Victims’ Organization, said the group would like a control structure to stabilize the lake level and prevent flooding downstream. Holderness said thousands of acres of pastureland, farmland and recreational land around the lake have been lost.
Both Mulcair and Trudeau attacked the Conservative leader over his government’s treatment of minorities and refugees, which prompted one of the most spirited exchanges of the evening. Harper accused the opposition parties of ignoring security concerns in their rush to embrace the Syrian refugee flood that has captured the world’s attention. “These guys would have had, in the last two weeks, us throwing open our borders and literally hundreds of thousands of people coming without any kind of security check or documentation. That would have been an enormous mistake,” said the prime minister, as Trudeau gamely interjected, “That’s not true, Mr. Harper.” “Mr. Harper plays to fears all the time,” Trudeau shot back. “Fears of others, fears of different communities. We have a prime minister who prefers to pander to fears. That’s not right, sir.” Mulcair then cited a Conservative policy stripping refugees of some health care benefits, a policy that’s being contested in courts. Harper asserted otherwise. “We do not offer them a better health plan than the ordinary Canadian can receive,” said the Conservative leader. “That’s something that most new and existing and old-stock Canadians agree with.” The inflammatory exchange sets the stage for more fireworks at a French-language leaders’ debate in Montreal next Thursday, followed by a foreign policy debate in Toronto the following Monday.

Even with the additional costs, the site chosen is the best option. It was city-owned land, saving the roughly $1 million it would cost to buy a similar chunk of land on the open market. “What we thought was no cost has turned out to be about a $300,000 cost. Although it was an unexpected cost, it’s still much, much lower than if we had to go out and buy land,” he said. Goudy said the city has improved its procedures and reorganized its data base so utility lines won’t be overlooked in the future. As far as the borrow pit goes, a full geotechnical assessment was undertaken that normally would have turned up the problem at the outset. “You can only drill so many bore holes,” he said. The dirt still would have had to be replaced in any case. Council voted on Monday to borrow an additional $300,000, on top of $2.4 million previously approved, to cover the cost overrun. It was decided that a $145,000 contingency fund would be left intact rather than using it all so early in construction. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Trudeau under fire over economic plan in leader’s debate LIBERAL LEADER ARGUES PROSPERITY HAS NOT TRICKLED DOWN TO MIDDLE CLASS
JUSTIN TRUDEAU LIBERAL LEADER said. “We don’t need the short-term thinking of the Liberals,” Mulcair said. The two courted left-wing voters, clashing over who should pay more taxes — Mulcair promised to hike taxes and reduce tax havens for large corporations while Trudeau said the Liberals would raise taxes for the wealthiest one per cent. Mulcair got personal, attacking Trudeau for being creative with his own finances. “Mr Trudeau, you may be speaking from experience about the shell company you set up for your speaking fees,” Mulcair said. The pair jousted over Mulcair’s child-care plan to bring in $15-a-day child care, which Trudeau said would take too long to help those in need now because of his promise to balance the books. “Mr. Mulcair is not making a choice that’s going to allow to invest in his promises. They’re puffs of smoke,” the Liberal leader said. “You know a lot about that, don’t you, Justin?” Mulcair sneered back — a less-than-subtle reference to Trudeau’s support for legalizing marijuana. Both Trudeau and Mulcair attacked Harper for not acting fast enough to bring in more refugees. People cross oceans to come to Canada, only to have Harper take away their health care, Trudeau said, and security concerns should not be an excuse to close Canada’s doors. “Mr. Harper plays (to) fears all the time,” Trudeau replied.
EDMONTON — Alberta’s Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of an Edmonton-area RV dealer who was found guilty of 31 counts of fraud. Last year, Arnold Donszelmann of Millet was sentenced to seven years in prison and ordered to pay the people he bilked $2.3 million in restitution. In a ruling released Wednesday the appeal court dismissed his request for a new trial. Customers were told they were part of a program in which they would buy an RV which Donszelmann would then lease out for them. Many of them were left without their life savings or on the hook for big loans.

“Fears of others, fears of different communities. We have a prime minister who prefers to pander to fears. That’s not right, sir.” Trudeau continued the attack while speaking to reporters following the debate, taking issue with Harper who differentiated between “new, existing and old-stock Canadians.” “The fact that he referred to something called old-stock Canadians demonstrates that yet again, he is choosing to divide Canadians against another,” Trudeau said. “(He’s) undermining new Canadians’ legitimacy. For the Liberal party, for me a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian and it will always stay that way.”

CALGARY — A combative Justin Trudeau was under fire from all sides Thursday as opponents slammed the Liberal leader’s economic plan as a formula for dumping debt on future generations and raising the taxes of working Canadians. Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair took turns throughout the televised leaders’ debate criticizing the Liberal plan to run three years of deficits to pay for everything from infrastructure to transit to pension plans. Trudeau fended off the attacks by attacking Harper, saying Conservative prosperity has not trickled down to the middle class. Under the prime minister, Canada has had its worst economic growth in 80 years, Trudeau said. “Are you better off now than you were 10 years ago when Stephen Harper became prime minister?” Trudeau asked in his opening remarks, addressing the camera directly. “If you think this economy is doing great, Mr. Harper is your guy.” Canada has weathered the economic downturn better than other countries, Harper retorted. “I’ve never said that things are great,” he said. “Over the last 10 years … where would you rather have been than Canada?” Harper accused Trudeau of planning to permanently run deficits while opposing small business tax cuts. “Running a deficit is not the kind of protection our economy needs,” he said. “We don’t need to spend more just for the sake of being able to say we’ve spent more.” Mulcair called Trudeau’s plan “reckless” and unsustainable. The Liberal plan would leave future generations with billions in debt, Mulcair

CALGARY — Alberta police say they have helped U.S. authorities make an arrest in a child exploitation case involving a Calgary teen. Calgary police began investigating last year when a New Jersey high school teacher contacted a 13-year-old in the city online. Police say the suspect offered the youth money for sexually explicit pictures and video chats. Alberta Internet child exploitation investigators say they uncovered the man’s identity and location and forwarded the information to U.S. Homeland Security. The U.S. Attorney’s office says David Adams, 29, of Branchburg, N.J., has been charged with one count of online enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity. If convicted, the charge carries a mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum potential penalty of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.

tional on implementing the NDP’s agenda for — among other items — more palliative and long-term care, the recruitment of more doctors and the opening of more primary-care clinics. The multi-year commitments to public transit and municipal infrastructures look modest when they are unbundled in annual instalments. On Wednesday, party spokespeople described the commitment to raising Canada’s contribution to foreign aid to 0.7 per cent of Canada’s gross national product as “aspirational.” By all indications, Mulcair’s pledge to balance the books is doable. Fulfilling his more ambitious promises could turn out to be another story. In many instances, one would not know until a second NDP mandate. As for the political algebra that is behind the party’s fiscal choices, many questions remain. A 2-per-cent hike in the corporate tax rate may sound modest but that does not mean it will be well received. In a rare show of agreement, the Conservatives and the Liberals instantly predicted that it would result in significant job losses. At seven pages — including pictures — the NDP handout fell well short of a detailed platform or even a précis of
one. According to the New Democrats, that’s because some of the measures the party has already factored in its spending plans have not yet been announced. Still, as fiscal plans go, this one was on the light side. Most government or corporate business plans do not tend to list spending categories under headings such as “Help Where it’s Needed Most.” For those who wonder, the NDP would throw about $3 billion over four years in that generic pot. Given all of the above, it is hard to connect enough dots to get a solid take on the big picture of the first NDP federal government. But reading between the lines of the fiscal framework, that government hardly looks like it was worth the 60-year wait of the Canadian Left. By comparison, the manifesto published earlier this week by a group of high-profile activists comes across like a prescription for a revolution. Some of its leading signatories have long-standing ties to the New Democrats. It is hard to imagine that they inhabit the same planet as Mulcair’s NDP.

Advocate columnist will lead us to financial disaster The Advocate carpet bombs us with the Toronto Star perspective every day via hired guns like Tim Harper and Chantal Hebert so we learn — thanks to the Star — that Stephen Harper is evil incarnate. These people club us over the head with their “why Harper is bad” perspective to the point where it loses all meaning but what mystifies me is why this philosophy is so rampant in the Advocate because we are an oil industry town whether David Suzuki likes it or not. Greg Neiman leads the local Advocate columnists on the left because this guy has never seen a tax dollar he didn’t want to spend. His latest attack on Harper (Sept. 15) was typical because it meandered around the point but what I could decipher is (a) a small surplus is bad or it’s not enough of a surplus — he wasn’t really clear and (b) we need to spend more money on everything from refugees to climate change and build up a really big debt. In Neiman’s world a small surplus is wrong but a massive debt is good if the cause is justified or makes him feel morally superior. Never study a problem from every perspective because Greg has a simpler method: Find out where Harper stands and pick the other side because it’s so much easier to crucify a guy the press hates over actually analyzing a complex problem like Syria. This is the approved Toronto Star playbook but it’s going to lose its appeal the more Alberta suffers from lost oil industry jobs. Red Deer could easily be a ghost town in a few years but at least guys like Greg Neiman — the same guy who pumped up the tires on the million dollar bike path disaster — has a kindred spirit in Alberta’s branch office of the NDP.

Alberta Highways made mistake in clearing trees We, as citizens of Red Deer, should applaud the efforts of Alberta Highways. In particular, the grove of trees between Gasoline Alley and the south end of Red Deer which once sheltered a small community of homeless is no more. Late last week, the entire grove of trees was forested (for use in lumber mills), in what seems to be a knee jerk reaction to a small group of individuals who dared use natural shelter belts for a home base. Environmentally speaking, the trees were a good noise barrier between the northbound and southbound routes, they helped increase the carbon dioxide capture of the city area, and provided a secondary natural home for any animal or plant life in the mini ecosystem. Socially speaking, those who could not afford accommodations in the City of Red Deer formed a community in amongst the boughs and branches. Many of those who lived in the small area would have been potentially able to afford housing, but AISH is not enough, particularly when landlords are not necessarily open to those with no previous fixed address, nor those without employment due to disabilities. However, citizens may have thought it was over when social groups stepped in to find housing for the inhabitants, and the area was cleaned up from the

I was hoping Alberta would join Ontario and become a pit bull free province. The Red Deer Advocate had written about a pit bull in Calgary, killing two little poodles, an elderly woman was walking. The next day a pit bull killed a Labrador right in front of my house in Red Deer. A day or so later a woman told me a pit bull was chewing her dog’s leg off. Her large dog was crying like a child, not a dog. Now in the Aug. 21, Advocate, Mary-Ann Barr writes of a woman walking a small, beautiful “much loved dog” in Oxbow Off leash Park in Red Deer when a pit bull killed it. Outlaw them in Alberta before they kill a child or another dog. Hazel McBride Stony Plain

Swearing, jabbing and support from the dead, all in one election race Note: this story includes language that may be offensive to some readers
BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Accusations of poking and swearing, along with invocations of dead political icons and a threatened lawsuit, are making the election race in Winnipeg Centre one of the strangest in the country. Given the characters involved it was likely only a matter of time before fireworks erupted. Pat Martin, the New Democrat incumbent known for saucy language and calling Conservatives “rat-faced whores” on social media, has been accused by Green Party candidate Don Woodstock of swearing and jabbing him in the ribs at a debate this week. Woodstock, who is known for breaking into song while appearing in front of a legislature committee in 2013, has lambasted Martin and Liberal candidate Robert-Falcon Ouellette for living outside the riding, but was investigated himself for allegedly giving a false home address while running in the last provincial election. Ouellette is a political newcomer

BRIEF Secretary panicked, noticed “vile odour” when she found Richard Oland’s body SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Richard Oland’s secretary remembers panicking when she walked into the businessman’s office and found his body in July 2011 as she testified at his son’s murder trial Thursday that she also noticed a “vile odour” when she arrived for work that day. Maureen Adamson told the court she set her coffee down and then saw something beyond one of the desks in Oland’s office in Saint John, N.B., when she arrived between 8:45 a.m.
who finished a surprising third in Winnipeg’s mayoral election last year. He has been derided on social media for saying his campaign battle is like that of executed Metis leader Louis Riel and would be supported by the late NDP giant Tommy Douglas. Sparks flew when the three sat down together for a debate Wednesday evening in a downtown shopping mall. Martin became upset when Woodstock accused him and his staff of failing to help the inner-city riding’s low-income residents. Martin was caught by television cameras muttering to Woodstock “you son of a b----” Woodstock alleges that Martin went even further soon afterward, dropping the F-word while calling him a “prick” and poking him in the ribs. “When he jabbed me, I gave him back a jab on the arm,” Woodstock said Thursday, adding he wants the NDP to withdraw Martin as a candidate. “And I look at him and I go — with a look on my face — ‘really?”’ Martin was not immediately available to comment Thursday. His campaign office said he was in a meeting. The race has already seen plenty of acrimony, mostly focused on where each candidate lives. Martin had threatened to sue his
opponents, saying they were spreading false rumours that he lives on Saltspring Island in British Columbia. Martin has a cottage there, but lives just south of downtown Winnipeg, just outside the Winnipeg Centre boundaries. Ouellette’s campaign team issued a statement acknowledging that Martin does not live in B.C., but pointing out that he has frequently been there and has strong links to the area that have been highlighted by New Democrats themselves. Ouellette, however, lives far from Winnipeg Centre, one of the poorest ridings in Canada, in the upper-middle-class suburbs near the south edge of the city. Woodstock has tried to capitalize on being the only candidate who currently lives in Winnipeg Centre. But in 2011, Elections Manitoba investigated a complaint from the NDP that Woodstock, who was running for the Liberals provincially, had provided a false address as his residence. The elections commissioner found that Woodstock had never lived at the address he provided, but had put a deposit down to buy the home. The purchase didn’t go through and the commissioner decided to drop the matter.
and 9 a.m. on July 7, 2011. When she got to work she found the street-level exterior door locked. An inner door to a hallway leading to the Far End Corp. offices wasn’t locked or latched. Inside, she said she saw two legs protruding from behind a desk. “I panicked. I went downstairs to get somebody,” Adamson told Dennis Oland’s trial in the Court of Queen’s Bench. After telling Preston Chiasson at Printing Plus that “something’s wrong,” the pair went upstairs where Adamson said she went no further into the office than she had earlier. Chiasson went a bit further in, she said, and then called police or 911 to report that someone was dead or badly injured. Adamson said Chiasson told her they had been instructed to leave the office, so they returned to Printing Plus to wait for the police. “Police cars wailed down the street. It was bedlam,” she said. She was asked by police within the
next week to walk through the office to see if anything was out of the ordinary or missing, but Adamson said she didn’t notice anything amiss. Dennis Oland, 46, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his 69-year-old father. Adamson said Richard Oland was chatting about family history with his son the last time she saw him alive the day before she found his body. Dennis Oland arrived at his father’s office that day around 5:30 p.m., said Adamson. She spoke with the younger Oland for a few minutes before Richard Oland joined the conversation.

NHL player charged with illegal grizzly hunt BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — An NHL defenceman charged in connection with shooting a grizzly bear on British Columbia’s central coast did not meet residency requirements for the provincial hunt, conservation officers say. Clayton Stoner, 30, of the Anaheim Ducks, is accused of five offences, including two counts of knowingly making a false statement to obtain a hunting licence. Court records show the statements were allegedly made in Stoner’s hometown of Port McNeill in May 2013, when he played for the Minnesota Wild. Det.-Sgt. Cynthia Mann, with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, said Stoner failed to meet rules under the provincial Wildlife Act. Stoner’s primary residence had to be in B.C. in order to get a licence, she said. He was also required to be living in the province for six of the 12 months preceding the spring grizzly bear hunt. “The application of the limited entry hunt, and the physical hunt and harvest of wildlife under these particular circumstances, was unlawful,” Mann said in a statement Thursday. incident was arrested in Montreal on Thursday. Max Tutiven, 42, surrendered as police waited for a warrant to enter a building where he was holed up. Montreal police spokesman Andre Leclerc said there was a Canada-wide arrest warrant for the man on the murder charge. Earlier this week, Toronto police announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to Tutiven’s arrest. He was wanted on the second-degree murder charge in the death of a gas station employee in September 2012. Tutiven was accused of striking 44-year-old Jayesh Prajapati with an SUV while leaving the station after failing to pay for gas. “Investigators had the information that he may be in a home in the east end,” Leclerc said. “They had a request for a warrant to enter the building and before they received the warrant, the man gave himself up.”

Murder charge laid in officer’s death NOVA SCOTIA BY THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX — Police in Halifax made an unusual request for public assistance Thursday after accusing a former volunteer firefighter of murdering an off-duty police officer last week. Christopher Calvin Garnier, 27, made a brief appearance in a Halifax courtroom where he was formally charged with second-degree murder in the death of 36-year-old Catherine Campbell, a constable with the Truro Police Force who was reported missing Monday when she failed to show up for work. Supt. Jim Perrin of Halifax Regional Police told a news conference Garnier was also charged with indecently interfering with a dead body. He said that charge was laid “because of the cavalier way that Miss Campbell’s body was disposed of.” Perrin said police are asking witnesses in Halifax to come forward if they saw a white man in shorts and a T-shirt pulling or pushing a large, green compost bin through the city’s north end last Friday around 4:30 a.m. Perrin wouldn’t comment on what was in the bin, except to say that it contained evidence. Investigators believe the victim met the accused last Thursday night at a downtown bar, where Campbell was last seen, Perrin said. Police allege Campbell was killed hours later at a location on McCully Street in the city’s north end. Her body was discovered just after midnight on Tuesday night, less than a kilometre away in a wooded area near an overpass that leads to the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, which links Halifax and Dartmouth. About an hour later, Garnier was arrested during a traffic stop. Perrin said investigators do not believe Campbell’s work as a police officer had anything to do with her death. As well, he said it was unclear whether the two knew each other before they are alleged to have met last Thursday. “Obviously … how that meeting took place is something that’s still under investigation. But we have confirmed that they were together in downtown Halifax. … We’re continuing to explore whether they knew each other before that.” Campbell’s family said she worked as a firefighter in her hometown of

Christopher Calvin Garnier, charged with second-degree murder in the death of Constable Catherine Campbell , an off-duty police officer, is escorted from provincial court in Halifax on Thursday. Stellarton before joining the police force six years ago in Truro, an hour’s drive north of Halifax. A spokesman for Halifax’s regional government confirmed Garnier worked as a volunteer firefighter between October 2009 and February 2011. Police are not looking for other suspects but more charges could be laid, Perrin said. Garnier did not speak during his five-minute appearance in court. His case was put over to Sept. 30 to allow the defence time to review evidence. Crown attorney Paul Carver said outside court that he will oppose any request for bail.
Rob Green, branch manager for a Halifax-area fire suppression and safety company, said Garnier started working for the company as a salesman on Monday but was fired Wednesday when he failed to show up for work. Green said he and staff members at K&D Pratt Maritimes were stunned when they learned of the charges against Garnier, whose widely circulated picture and address listed in court documents matched with the man they just hired. “My first thought was for the poor family of the deceased woman,” Green said in an interview. “I can’t imagine, as a parent, how
anybody would feel to have their child taken away in a very heinous way.” Green said he met Garnier for only 20 minutes during an initial orientation on Monday. “It’s a bit surreal,” said Green, who described Garnier as a soft-spoken man who seemed positive about his new job. “People in the office were quite shocked. And everybody, without fail, their first consideration was, ‘Oh my God, this woman’s family.’ You just feel terrible. It’s awful. It’s tragic.” Outside the main police station in Halifax, the Town of Truro flag was raised in honour of Campbell.
Police board dismisses complaint about pot dispensaries VANCOUVER
Vancouver’s police board has unanimously rejected a prominent advocate’s complaint that the city’s police department was failing to enforce the law against marijuana dispensaries. Pamela McColl of the group Smart Approaches to Marijuana Canada had accused the department of not doing its duty “to maintain law and order” by not shutting down all pot shops in the city. But deputy chief Doug LePard delivered a report to the board Thursday that stated criminal laws are less effective than municipal bylaws at closing illegal businesses. The VPD must respect the City of Vancouver’s decision not to use its bylaw powers to shut down dispensaries and instead create a regulatory framework, he said. “We don’t operate in a vacuum. We have to consider the circumstances that we operate in,” LePard told the board. “We have the greatest of respect for policy decisions that the democratically elected council has decided on, and we will work in that environment.” The police board, chaired by Mayor Gregor Robertson, voted unanimously to dismiss McColl’s complaint after less than 10 minutes of discussion. The city recently became the first in Canada to regulate its 100 marijuana
dispensaries, requiring owners to undergo criminal record checks and pay a $30,000 licence fee. LePard said police held discussions with the city about how to deal with the proliferation of dispensaries in 2013, when there were 27 pot shops. The city decided not to use its bylaws to shut down the stores — most of which were operating without a business licence — and instead work on setting up a regulatory framework, he said. LePard said the VPD must use its limited resources to deal with more serious drug offences and dispensaries that are suspected of selling to youth or involved with organized crime. Police have executed 11 search warrants at pot shops and recommended multiple charges since 2013. But LePard noted these actions have been generally unsuccessful at closing the dispensaries. Some stores re-opened shortly after raids, and search warrants were executed three times at one location. He said he’s hopeful the new regulations will be effective, as they will allow the city to take action against dispensaries that don’t meet its criteria, including being located too close to schools. Selling marijuana over the counter is illegal in Canada, and last week
Health Canada sent cease-and-desist letters to 13 pot stores warning of RCMP raids if they don’t close. Chief Adam Palmer said he had spoken to RCMP about the letters. He said Mounties have legal authority anywhere in Canada, but in practice they don’t interfere with local police. “I don’t believe in any sense of the word you’re going to see the RCMP come marching into Vancouver,” he said outside the meeting. “Vancouver police will deal with Vancouver issues and the RCMP will deal with the issues in their territory.” City staff are processing 176 licensing applications for marijuana dis-
pensaries. Robertson said outside the meeting that it could be months before it’s clear how many will be approved. “I’m sure it’ll be a much lower number than the number that have applied,” he said. McColl said she was disappointed but not surprised by the police board’s decision. She said she doesn’t believe the new regulations will root out dispensaries that are selling to youth or involved with organized crime. “These guys are going to proliferate, they’re going to sell their dope and they’re going to do whatever they want to do because that’s what they’re all about,” she said.

Chile withstands 8.3-magnitude quake BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Owners of a furniture store inspect their property after an earthquake-triggered tsunami hit the coastal town of Coquimbo, Chile, Thursday. Several coastal towns were flooded from small tsunami waves set off by late Wednesday’s quake, which shook the Earth so strongly that rumbles were felt across South America. Classes across the country were cancelled for Thursday, a measure aimed to keep people from putting themselves at risk. Residents said they received evacuation orders on their cellphones minutes after the quake hit. “The alerts worked well. We had enough time” to evacuate before the tsunami waves came, said Patricio Farria, a fisherman whose shop close to the coast was wrecked. “Two people died here, but

there could have been many more. I think Bachelet learned her lesson.” “Everyone who felt Wednesday’s earthquake had the experience of 2010,” said Paulina Gonzalez, a civil engineer who teaches building design for earthquakes at the University of Chile in Santiago. “Many went to higher ground even before the official evacuation alerts.”

COQUIMBO, Chile — Parts of this port city were a disaster zone Thursday after an 8.3-magnitude quake hit off the coast, killing at least 11 people and likely causing billions in damage. Overturned cars and splintered boats sat mud next to furniture, toppled adobe homes and fishing nets tangled in trees. The most stunning thing about Wednesday night’s earthquake, however, may be the relatively low amount of havoc caused by such a powerful shake. While the quake led more than 1 million to evacuate coastal areas and no doubt caused much anxiety, seismologists said Chile’s heavy investment in structural reinforcement of buildings and constant refinement of its tsunami alert system helped prevent what would have been a catastrophe in less prepared nations. “Chile has good codes and good compliance, which together have reduced the vulnerabilities of their building stock over the decades,” said Richard Olson, director of Florida International University’s Extreme Events Institute. “I would rather be there in one of their cities than in many other countries in an earthquake.” Living in one of the world’s most seismically active places, the Andean nation’s 17 million people have little choice but become experts in earthquakes. The strongest earthquake ever recorded happened in Chile: a magnitude-9.5 tremor in 1960 that killed more than 5,000 people. After another major earthquake in 1985, authorities began implementing strict construction codes similar to those used for highly seismic regions in the United States such as California, said Kishor Jaiswal, a civil engineer with the U.S. Geological Survey. Most buildings in urban areas of Chile are designed to withstand both the vertical forces of gravity and the horizontal jolts that an earthquake inflicts. Building methods in many other developing countries can withstand gravity and wind but have limited resistance against very strong earthquakes. Wednesday’s quake struck just offshore in the Pacific at 7:54 p.m. and was centred about 141 miles (228 kilometres) north-northwest of Santiago. The quake was 7.4 miles (12 kilometres) below the surface. It lasted a nerve-shattering three minutes, swayed buildings in the capital, Santiago, and prompting authorities to issue a tsunami warning for the country’s entire Pacific coast. People sought safety in the streets of inland cities, while others along the shore took to their cars to race to higher ground. Several coastal towns were flooded from small tsunami waves. The fortified constructions were evident in Coquimbo, a port city that was one of the closest to the epicenter. While adobe houses and some small concrete structures collapsed, the vast majority of buildings were intact. A small area of the city, which neighbours La Serena, was covered in mud left by inrushing waves. Boats and cars were overturned, and dead fish were mixed in with debris. “It looks like a war zone here,” said Marcelo Leyea, a mechanic carrying a duffel bag with tools he was able to salvage from his collapsed shop. “But we were more prepared than during the 2010 earthquake.” Even fortified infrastructure didn’t prevent a high death toll in 2010, when a magnitude-8.8 quake in south-central Chile killed more than 500 people, destroyed 220,000 homes and washed away docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts. To be sure, the 2010 quake was 5.6 times more powerful in terms of energy released, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. And while the 2010 quake hit in the middle of the night, Wednesday’s tremor hit during an evening when many Chileans were outside for barbecues and other celebrations ahead of the country’s Independence Day on Friday. People were also more prepared. Schools increasingly have earthquake drills and society is filled with creative solutions to quakes, such as restaurant owners who nail wood railings to shelves to keep glasses and liquor from crashing down. Many argue, however, that the biggest problem in 2010 was human error. That quake hit just 11 days before the end of President Michelle Bachelet’s first term and the government’s national emergency office failed to issue a tsunami warning to evacuate the coast after the quake struck near the southern city of Concepcion. Bachelet and emergency officials made no such mistakes Wednesday, issuing tsunami alerts soon after the quake hit and keeping them in effect until after 6 a.m. Thursday.

Guantanamo detainee sent home after 13 years MIAMI— Another Guantanamo Bay prisoner has been released as part of the drawn-out U.S. effort to wind down and eventually close the detention centre at the U.S. base in Cuba, officials said Thursday. Younis Abdurrahman Chekkouri was sent to his native Morocco after more than 13 years in custody at Guantanamo. His release, which followed an intensive security review and notification of Congress as required by law, was the first from the prison since June. The human rights group Reprieve, whose lawyers represented Chekkouri while he was in U.S. custody, expressed concern that he was not immediately released upon arrival in Morocco as expected. It was not clear how long he would be held by local authorities but prisoners released from Guantanamo in the past have spent several days to weeks undergoing medical checks and investigations before being freed by their own governments.
Saudi-led coalition pounds Yemen’s Shiite rebels near city of Marib along a two-lane road between Marib and a sprawling military base further east. The war in Yemen pits the Saudi-led coalition against Iranian-backed Houthis and troops loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Others opposing the Houthis include southern separatists, local and tribal militias, Sunni Islamic militants and troops loyal to Hadi. Coalition troops and allied Yemeni forces will have to traverse rugged mountains as they push westward toward Sanaa. It is an area that Emirati Brig. Gen. Ali Saif al-Kaabi likened to parts of Afghanistan, where Emirati troops were deployed as part of the NATO-led mission. Coalition and pro-Hadi forces also are advancing toward the capital from the south after retaking the key port city of Aden over the summer. In addition to rockets and mortar rounds they lob at their opponents, the Houthis and their allies have laid land mines in the path of the advancing forces, military officials say. Mine-resistant armoured vehicles and tanks the Emirates has deployed east of the capital provide some protection, but the mine threat clearly has commanders concerned. An Emirati soldier was killed by a mine on Monday — the country’s 54th loss this month. “Our people are running into difficulty because of the terrain, and number two, because of the fearless enemy who is ready to die,” Sultan Ali al-Aradeh, the governor of Marib province, said in an interview Monday. The influx of troops and hardware from the Emirates and other Gulf states appears to be adding momentum to the fight to retake territory. The immediate aim is to reinstate Hadi’s government, while the wider goal is to block what the coalition sees as
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARIB, Yemen — The Saudi-led coalition targeting Yemen’s Shiite rebels pounded the insurgents’ positions Thursday with heavy artillery fire on the outskirts of the central city of Marib, part of their push to retake the capital, Sanaa. The heavy bombardment came hours after the rebels, known as Houthis, aired footage on their satellite television channel purporting to show a Saudi soldier held as a prisoner of war. A top al-Qaida leader in Yemen meanwhile praised the campaign against the Houthis and called for Islamic rule in the Arab world’s poorest country. The dull thud of artillery fire rumbled across Marib but its residents, many carrying Kalashnikov assault rifles, appeared unperturbed by the nearby fighting. Shops downtown were open for business, and residents crowded a market to buy qat leaves, a mild narcotic widely consumed in Yemen. “As you see, there are no clashes, mostly just shelling … from far away,” deputy governor Abdul Rab Ali said Thursday. Marib is the capital of the largely desert province of the same name east of the capital. Authorities say the coalition’s operations in the area include targeting Houthi positions near the Marib dam and the town of Sirwah, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) west on the road to Sanaa. The provincial capital is controlled by forces loyal to exiled President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Ali said 80 per cent of the province is controlled by pro-Hadi forces, while the Houthis and their allies control the rest. Military vehicles used by forces from the United Arab Emirates, a central member of the coalition, made their way Thursday
Brazil’s top court bans corporate campaign contributions amid scandal RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil’s Supreme Court has banned corporate contributions to political campaigns and parties. The court ruled 8-3 Thursday night to block such financing. However, Brazil’s Congress passed a different measure last week allowing corporate financing. That legislation faces a likely veto from President Dilma Rousseff. If the veto were overturned by Congress, the matter would again go before the top court. The issue has come to the forefront as Brazil faces what prosecutors call the biggest corruption case in its history. It in part involves big construction and engineering firms allegedly making huge campaign contributions in return for winning lucrative contracts with state-run oil firm Petrobras. In Brazil’s recent presidential election, well over 90 per cent of funding for the campaigns of the final two candidates came from corporations.

Mexico captures cartel figure implicated in disappearance of 43 students MEXICO CITY — Federal authorities captured a suspected high-ranking drug cartel member who has been implicated in last year’s disappearance of 43 college students in the southern state of Guerrero, officials said Thursday. State prosecutor Miguel Angel Godinez Munoz announced the arrest of Gildardo Lopez Astudillo in a statement, and National Security Commissioner Renato Sales later confirmed the detention. Sales called Lopez Astudillo, 36, the “intellectual author” of the students’ disappearance. He was arrested Wednesday in the city of Taxco and is suspected of involvement in drug distribution, extortion and organized crime. In November, then Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said it was Lopez Astudillo who informed his drug gang boss, Sidronio Casarrubias Salgado, that rivals were causing trouble in the city of Iguala. Casarrubias allegedly instructed him to defend their turf. The government’s investigation maintains that local police in Iguala illegally detained the students.
Iranian expansion across the region. “Our brothers from Saudi, the Emirates and the rest of the Gulf are helping the Yemeni people. We are one of theirs and they are part of us,” Yemeni Gen. Abdul Rab Qassim al-Shadadi said Monday. A missile attack on an ammunition depot at the Emirati forward operating base at Saffer in Marib province on Sept. 4 killed 52 Emirati troops, as well as at least 10 soldiers from Saudi Arabia and five from Bahrain. It was the heaviest military loss for the Emirates since its founding in 1971. The Houthis also claim to have captured some Saudi soldiers. Footage aired on their satellite channel purported to show a Saudi corporal saying other troops are held by the rebels, though he didn’t elaborate. The Associated Press could not independently verify the claim. The state-run Saudi Press Agency did not immediately report the claim, nor did government officials acknowledge it. The Saudi-led coalition has been training thousands of pro-government troops and working with some tribesmen. They have had some success in recent months, particularly as they brought additional weapons, armour and trained personnel to the fight. But the fighting has taken a heavy toll on Yemen. More than 4,000 people have been killed, and the humanitarian crisis has left the impoverished country on the brink of famine. Meanwhile, video has emerged of a top al-Qaida leader praising the campaign against the Shiite rebels. Khalid Batarfi, al-Qaida’s leader in Hadramawt, Yemen’s largest province, called on his followers to continue the fight. The Sunni militants of al-Qaida view Shiite Muslims as heretics. Batarfi also called on followers not to allow the exiled Yemeni government “to go back to rule Yemen with secularism and democracy.”

B1 Bains decides future is with Rebels BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR
At one time torn between pursuing a U.S. college scholarship and playing at the major junior level, Akash Bains now has eyes only for the Red Deer Rebels and the Western Hockey League. The 16-year-old Delta, B.C., product decided once and for all in July that performing with the Rebels was the best development route for him, signing a standard WHL education contract along with four potential future teammates. “The more and more I thought about it, I realized that this is where I want to play,” Bains said Thursday, prior to a practice session preceding Akash Bains tonight’s 7 p.m. preseason engagement with the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Centrium.

“I think I’m a two-way forward, I really pride myself on playing good defence. I think from good defence comes good offence.” Truitt can see Bains wearing Rebels silks in the not-too-distant future if he doesn’t make the club this season. “Who knows how it’s going to shake out here, but he’s got a lot of attributes to his game right now,” said Truitt. “We’ll see what goes on after this weekend, but it’s been great to see him progress from game to game.” ● Brent Sutter signed Brandon Hagel to a standard WHL contract Thursday and the six-foot, 165-pound forward will likely play in tonight’s game versus the Oil Kings and possibly Saturday’s final preseason outing against the Medicine Hat Tigers at Stettler. Hagel, as a 16-year-old, was third in Alberta Midget Hockey League scoring last season with 23 goals and 51 points in 34 games with the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers. The Morinville native collected three points (1g,2a) in two games with the junior A (AJHL) Whitecourt Wolverines this fall. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com
Blue Jays beat up Braves to take series BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 5 Braves 0 ATLANTA — Marco Estrada keeps showing he belongs in Toronto’s post-season rotation. That’s quite an accomplishment for a pitcher who began the season in the bullpen. Estrada combined with Roberto Osuna on a three-hitter, Cliff Pennington, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson hit home runs, and the Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Thursday night to extend their lead in the AL East. The Blue Jays lead the New York Yankees, who did not play Thursday, by 3 ½ games. Toronto won two of three games for their first series win over the Braves since 2008. Estrada (13-8) allowed three hits with four strikeouts and two walks in eight innings. He did not allow a baserunner to reach second base. “He shut them down he’s been doing it all year,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Estrada lowered his ERA to 3.14 with his third start of the season with at least eight scoreless innings. His .206 opponents’ batting average leads the American League. It’s quite a season considering his first six appearances came in relief. “I just want to help the team any way possible,” Estrada said when asked to reflect on his move from the bullpen. Estrada faced 27 batters and threw 28 balls among his 99 total pitches. Adding to his memorable night was his single in Toronto’s four-run fourth. “I got lucky,” he said. Encarnacion led off the fourth with
his 33rd homer, off Matt Wisler (5-8) and into the fifth row of the seats in left field. Pennington hit a three-run shot later in the inning. Donaldson added a ninth-inning homer off Sugar Ray Marimon. The three homers boosted Toronto’s season total to 207, most in the majors. Osuna pitched a perfect ninth. Wisler allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said it was important for Wisler to make it through six innings. “That was a big goal,” Gonzalez said. “And we pushed him a little bit. We wanted him to go back out there. We gave him that challenge.” SLUGGER Pennington has three homers this season, two on the 6-4 road trip. “I’m definitely not trying to hit homers, but I’ll take ‘em if they come,” he said. CARTERS’ KISS Former President Jimmy Carter and wife, Rosalynn, sat in their usual seats near the Braves’ dugout. Carter, 90, recently announced he has cancer that spread to his brain. The two received a loud cheer when shown on the video board during the “Kiss Cam” promotion. Carter kissed his wife and then gave a big smile as the cheers continued.

Dramatic rally pushes Broncos to victory over Chiefs BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Broncos 31 Chiefs 24 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs every way imaginable over the years, from playoff shootouts to defensive tug-ofwars. Well, not quite every way. Not until Thursday night. Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles’ second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds left, completing a stunning comeback in the closing minute for a 31-24 victory — the Broncos’ seventh straight over their AFC West rivals. “I’m not quite sure I’d ever been in one quite like that,” Manning said. “That was a new one.” Manning threw for 256 yards and three scores, the last to Emmanuel Sanders with 36 seconds left as the Broncos (2-0) appeared to force overtime. But on the next play from scrimmage, with the Chiefs (1-1) also eyeing overtime, Charles was stripped by Brandon Marshall and the ball bounced right into Roby’s hands. The dramatic about-face came after Knile Davis gave Kansas City the lead with 2:27 left on an 8-yard run, raising hope among a sellout crowd that the Chiefs might finally end some curses. Instead, Denver won its 13th straight division road game, breaking a tie with the San Francisco 49ers (198790) for most in NFL history. And for one night, Manning quieted his growing doubters by improving to 14-1 in his career against the Chiefs. “I’ve been involved in a couple of pretty crazy games,” he said, “but nothing quite like this.” Charles finished with 125 yards rushing and a touchdown, but he will only remember his fumbles — one in the red zone early in the game, the other deep in his own territory late in the game.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (25) is tackled by Denver Broncos nose tackle Darius Kilgo (98) and safety David Bruton Jr. during the second half of an NFL game in Kansas City, Mo., Thursday. “I have to be careful with the ball,” Charles said. “It’s my fault.” Alex Smith threw for 191 yards for Kansas City, but also had two passes picked off. “We thought we had it won,” Davis said. “Unfortunately, they made the touchdown and it was our time to overcome and win the game, and we

couldn’t finish. It was an emotional rollercoaster.” Manning threw a pick-six of his own, but he responded when it mattered the most. The Broncos took over at their own 20 after Davis had given Kansas City the lead, and the seven-time All-Pro marched them calmly down field. Manning found Demaryius Thomas for

three long receptions to get deep into Chiefs territory, then hit Sanders with a strike over the middle on thirdand-10 from the Chiefs 19 for the touchdown that kept Denver alive. “That last drive was really good,” said Manning, who joined Brett Favre during the game as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 70,000 yards passing. “I’m really proud of our young offensive line — no poise issues, no communication issues.” The late-game dramatics transpired after the Chiefs bolted to a 14-0 lead in their home-opener, energizing a boisterous, red-clad crowd that had been tailgating all afternoon. But like he has so often against the Chiefs, Manning answered by leading Denver on an 80-yard TD march late in the first half. The capper was a pass over the middle to Sanders, who slipped between the safeties and somersaulted into the end zone for the 16-yard touchdown reception. Two plays later, Aqib Talib picked off Smith’s throw on a poorly thrown pass in the flat, and the Broncos needed just four plays for Manning to find Virgil Green with a tying touchdown toss. After swapping field goals, the Chiefs were poised to celebrate when Davis took a handoff from Smith as the quarterback fell down and raced into the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Turned out to be not late enough for Manning and the Broncos. “I’ll tell you,” Manning said, “their defence is so much better than last year. They’re so stout against the run. They just make it hard all night. We just kept plugging.” NOTES: Thomas finished with eight catches for 116 yards. … Smith was sacked four times. Manning was sacked three times, twice by Justin Houston. … The Chiefs had two penalties last week vs Houston. They had nine vs Denver. … Kansas City was 0 for 7 on third down.

Kings fall to Vikings in preseason action BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR Vikings 2 Kings 1 PENHOLD — The Red Deer College Kings turned their game around after a weak first period Thursday, but the slovenly start proved costly in their Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference preseason game versus the Camrose Augustana Vikings at the Penhold Regional Multiplex. The Kings were dominated early, but despite trailing 1-0 after 20 periods, pulled even in the middle frame before surrendering a late power-play goal and falling 2-1. “The first five to six minutes we were outshot 12-2. We had a slow start but the second and third periods were pretty even,” said Kings head coach Trevor Keeper. “I told the guys we didn’t lose the game because of the power-play goal, we lost it on the first goal. We were standing around watching a bit and we allowed them to have quite a few shots on net. “We just have to get started as soon as the puck drops tomorrow against Bentley.” Keeper was referring to tonight’s 8 p.m. meeting with the senior AAA Generals at the Red Deer Arena, but his focus Thursday was on guiding his club past the Vikings. It didn’t happen, despite a strong third period in which the Kings outshot their guests 22-17 and had a late two-man advantage with the game knotted at 1-1.

Red Deer College King Mike Marianchuk fends off Augustana Campus Camrose Viking Logan Sproule during exhibition college hockey action at the Penhold Regional Multiplex Thursday. “We’ve worked on our power play the last two days but we haven’t even talked about a five-on-three,” said Keeper, whose club fell to 0-3 in exhibition play that includes two losses to the host University of Lethbridge Pronghorns last weekend. “In Lethbridge we scored three power play goals in two games and our power play was moving it around pretty good. “We had some chances tonight but we haven’t really addressed the pow-
er play much yet … the penalty kill as well.” Evan Warmington connected for the visitors a mere 61 seconds into the contest and the lead held up until Tyler Berkholtz pulled the Kings even at 13:25 of the second period. Curtis Skip, who shared the Vikings’ goaltending duties with Andy Williams, gave up the RDC goal but came up big the rest of the way. He turned aside all 22 shots he faced in the final
frame and combined with Williams to make 35 saves. “He played well, we had a lot of pressure on him,” said Keeper, whose netminder, Mike Salmon, faced 40 shots. Kings forward Mike Marianchuk was assessed a slashing penalty as the Vikings were in the late stages of killing a two-man disadvantage, and Jeff Lorenz, parked at the edge of the crease, scored a power-play marker with 1:18 remaining to give the visitors the victory. “They (Vikings) have some older veteran guys and they’re good,” said Keeper. “They forecheck really hard, they send two guys deep. We adjusted to that after the first period and had better tape-to-tape passes. “But in the first 10 minutes of the game our defencemen were surprised by their pressure and our forwards weren’t getting back fast enough. It’s preseason and we don’t want to panic about things. We don’t want to lose but we know the things we need to work on.” ● The Kings added Red Deer native Jody Sick to their roster this week and Keeper inserted the six-foot-four forward into the lineup Thursday. Sick, who registered at RDC Tuesday and practised once with the Kings prior to Thursday’s outing, played with the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League last season and started this season with the Topeka, Kan., RoadRunners of the North American League. gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

Cornish hoping to provide spark for Stamps against Lions CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders will welcome Jon Cornish back to their lineup when they face the B.C. Lions on Friday night at McMahon Stadium. Cornish missed the past six games due to a broken right thumb he suffered in the first half of Calgary’s 29-26 overtime road loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on July 24. The 30-year-old running back wants to prove that he can return to the form that saw him win the last three CFL rushing titles. “Right now I’m ready,” Cornish said. “I want to make the threat a very real and a very tangible thing (on Friday). I want to make these guys on the (Lions) and people around the league know that these fresh legs are here to stay.” On the heels of Calgary’s 27-16 road loss to the Edmonton Eskimos last Saturday, Stamps coach and general manager John Hufnagel said he’s happy to have Cornish back in the mix against the Lions. “He’s a very welcome addition back on the field, no question about it,” Hufnagel said. “I know he’s anxious. He’s ready to go. He’s had a good week

of practice, so hopefully he can be a factor in the game.” B.C. linebacker Adam Bighill, who leads the CFL with 69 tackles, said that the Lions will definitely have to be wary of what Cornish can do when he has the ball. “That’s definitely a boost for their offence,” said Bighill. “I’ve played Cornish for a lot of years now. He’s a great running back. We’ve just got to be able to contain that and from there move onto what (quarterback) Bo Levi (Mitchell) does.” While Lions running back Andrew Harris currently leads the CFL in rushing with 633 yards through 10 games, he only managed three yards on four carries during B.C.’s 31-18 loss to Ottawa at home last Sunday. He enters play 308 yards ahead of Cornish on the season. “After the last couple weeks how they’ve gone for me, it’s definitely motivation this week to get it going,” said Harris. “No lead’s safe against Jon Cornish. I wish I could have got a little more ahead of him obviously in the last couple games. I’m looking forward to duelling it out for the rest of the season here.” With Travis Lulay on the six-game injured list
with a sprained knee ligament, John Beck will start at quarterback for the Lions. He completed 20 of 29 passes for 207 yards against the Redblacks to go with one touchdown and two interceptions. “As an athlete, any time you don’t get the outcome or result you want, you want to move ahead to the next week,” said Beck. “You want to move ahead to the next game. Our team feels prepared. Now it’s just about going out and executing the best that we can.” Calgary defensive lineman Charleston Hughes said the Stamps also believe they’re prepared to contain Beck and the B.C. offence. He’s tied with Jamaal Westerman of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the CFL lead with nine sacks. “I just know (Beck) is an experienced quarterback and he has the possibility to make plays,” said Hughes. “My goal is to keep tallying up sacks.

Oilers coach focusing on mental game BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers began training camp with physicals Thursday, but head coach Todd McLellan said it’s the mental part of the game that is going to be key this season. “We are going to have to get mentally stronger,” McLellan told reporters at Rexall Place. “Our point where we succumb to the score or (to) the opposition has to get pushed a lot further, a lot longer. “There’s going to be some tough times. There will be some days where it’s not going real well. And I’ll be really interested to see the group during those moments.” McLellan, in his first year behind the Edmonton bench, inherits a team that has not made the playoffs for nine consecutive seasons, consistently finishing so deep in the NHL standings it has landed the top draft pick four of the last six years. The Oilers’ core group of forwards — Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle — has known nothing but failure at the pro level. McLellan said the issue is not about failing, but bouncing back from the inevitable failure. “Mentally strong teams have poor patches during the season. It’s an automatic thing. But they come out of it quick, they come out of it confident. They go back to their foundation and basics. “The weaker teams tend to stay in it
a little bit longer. “The pushback thing is a big thing for me, the mental strength to keep going. Get through the crap, if you will, when it’s not going well.” The Oilers won 24 games for 62 points last season, good for 28th place, which then led to a successful lottery leap to draft teen phenom Connor McDavid with the first pick. Edmonton goaltender Ben Scrivens, who will battle newcomer Cam Talbot for the top job in camp, said the losing can knock players off their game. “There were tough lessons that I learned last year … trying to do a little bit too much, which comes when you care about the results,” said Scrivens. “Sometimes it leads you down the wrong path where now you’re worrying (about) things that are out of your control.” This spring the Oilers overhauled their organization. There’s a new general manager (Peter Chiarelli), new coaching staff, and a new scouting staff along with a number of new players like defencemen Andrej Sekera, Griffin Reinhart and Eric Gryba. But McLellan said there’s no magic wand. “We still have 75 to 80 per cent of the players from last year’s group that were not capable of getting it done. There’s some big changes play-wise and commitment-wise that (have) to happen.” The X-factor is McDavid and how quickly the young centre with the otherworldly offensive skills can begin bending the league to his will.

Edmonton Oilers’ Taylor Hall rides the bike during the first training camp in Edmonton, on Thursday. Scrivens urged fans to temper expectations. “He’s obviously going to be a phenomenal player for a long time in this league, but you can’t expect him to do everything overnight,” said Scrivens. McLellan said McDavid’s outsized fan following is just a fact of life with the new Oilers.
“If you could put some truth serum in (McDavid) he probably just wants to be an 18-year-old and fit in like the rest of them, and doesn’t want to be treated special,” said McLellan. “But when you have that skill set and you’ve had it that long, that environment is created.”
Expectations higher for Flames after surprising run last season BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Going into training camp a year ago, no one knew what to make of the Calgary Flames. There were too many unknowns to consider them a potential playoff team. Expectations of the hockey club have swung 180 degrees heading into 2015-‘16 after a 45-30-7 record and a season that lasted into the second round of playoffs. The Flames said they had confidence inside their locker-room last season that they could be a playoff team. Now they’ve proven it, so there’s belief outside it as well. But forward Joe Colborne says the Flames would do well to continue to ignore their own press, lest they start to believe it. “It’s going to (be) a challenge to make sure we don’t listen to much to it, just like we didn’t listen when they said we were going to be bad last year,” the 25-year-old winger said.
GARY MOE
“It’s going to be a battle I think right up until the end of the season again to see who gets in the playoffs. You can’t afford to have a slow start. The start of the season is going to be huge for us.” The Flames reported Thursday to WinSport’s Markin MacPhail Centre for medical and fitness testing. Main camp gets underway Friday. Their first pre-season game is a split-squad contest with the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. The addition of defencemen Dougie Hamilton and forward Michael Frolik in the off-season, a healthy Mark Giordano, the continued advancement of young forwards Sean Monahan, Johnny Gaudreau and Sam Bennett and the buy-in head coach Bob Hartley has from his team points to a promising run for the Flames. “On paper today, if you look at our roster, we do look like a deeper, better team than last year, but we have to as players bring that now and prove it on the ice,” said Giordano, the team captain.
One crucial issue to be sorted out at training camp is Calgary’s goaltending situation. The Flames have three goalies on one-way contracts — Jonas Hiller, Karri Ramo and Joni Ortio. Hiller started the majority of games in the regular season, but was supplanted by Ramo in the post-season. Ortio had a successful call-up midway through the season. “I don’t think it’s any more challenging than it was last year or the year before that,” Ramo said. “There’s a lot of goalies and you do your best and the best one plays. It’s really simple. I don’t look at it any other way. “It’s not our job to make the decisions. It’s our job to stop the puck and do the best we can every day.” Calgary’s defencemen were a major contributor to the end of a five-year playoff drought. Giordano, T.J. Brodie, Kris Russell and Dennis Wideman had the green light to jump into the play and generate offensive pressure from the back end. The addition of 22-year-old Ham-
ilton — Calgary gave up their first three picks in June’s entry draft for his rights — adds depth and another dimension to what was already a formidable blue-line. Giordano and Brodie were Calgary’s top defensive pairing until the captain’s torn biceps ended his season in February. Finding the right defensive partner for Hamilton is another subplot of training camp. “Dougie comes in and he’s going to have to fit in with someone,” Giordano said. “We’re going to learn how to play with a lot of different guys this year in different situations. “I’m sure the coaches are going to mix and match here throughout the pre-season. Looking forward to getting some reps in this camp with a lot of different guys and seeing how it goes.” Notes: Colborne underwent wrist surgery over the summer and will wear a brace to start the season, but he expects to fully participate in training camp … Defenceman Ladislav Smid (neck) has yet to be cleared for contact.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC
Sydney to host 4-team qualifying tournament for 2017 World Baseball Classic BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SYDNEY, Australia — A qualifying tournament with teams from Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and South Africa will be held in February for the 2017 World Baseball Classic. Baseball Australia said Friday that the six-game tournament will be held from Feb. 11-14 at Blacktown in western Sydney, with the winner qualifying for the 2017 Classic. A host city or country for the 2017 tournament has not been determined, but it is expected to include 16 teams. Australia finished last in its pool in 2013, forcing it to re-qualify for 2017. Twelve teams have already qualified, including defending champions Dominican Republic, Canada, China, Cuba, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Taiwan, the United States and Venezuela.

Habs hope to build off last season BY THE CANADIAN PRESS BROSSARD, Que. — The Montreal Canadiens want to build off the good vibe they had last season. The Canadiens opened training camp Thursday with few jobs open on a team that finished second overall in the 30-team NHL with a 50-22-10 record for 110 points, although they were beaten in six games in the second round of playoffs by the Tampa Bay Lightning. “The group as a whole is the closest it’s been on any team I’ve played for,” said defenceman Jeff Petry, who joined the Canadiens in a trade from Edmonton last March and signed a new deal in the off-season. “No cliques going in their own direction. Everyone’s going the same direction and has the same goal.” General manager Marc Bergevin tinkered with his roster last season, adding Petry and forwards Torrey Mitchell, Devante Smith-Pelley and Brian Flynn through in-season trades. They hope to be more effective starting from the beginning in Montreal. The 27-year-old Petry opted to stay with the club on a US$33-million, sixyear contract rather than test free agency, where he would have been a hot commodity. Several players, including star goalie Carey Price, spoke of being pleasantly surprised to retain Petry, who boosted the right side of the second defence pair with a strong two-way game. “When I came here I felt wel-

Montreal Canadiens P.K. Subban stretches during medical examinations on the first day of training camp Thursday, in Brossard, Que. comed,” said Petry. “I made some quick friendships and really got along with guys on the team. That made the decision pretty easy.” There are two main issues going into camp. First is the management’s decision to move promising Alex Galchenyuk from left wing to centre, which will bump an established centre — likely David Desharnais — to the wing. Then there is the announcement
that a captain will be named by the end of camp after going with four alternates last season: P.K. Subban, Max Pacioretty, Andrei Markov and Tomas Plekanec. Speculation will fly over that race, where Subban and Pacioretty are widely seen as a the front-runners. There is not likely to be a lot of change on the roster. In goal, Price is looking to improve on a spectacular 2014-‘15 in which he
won the Hart, Lindsay, Vezina and Jennings trophies. His experienced backup is Dustin Tokarski and rookie Zach Fucale will try to make a favourable impression in camp. On defence, youngsters Nathan Beaulieu and Greg Pateryn emerged as regulars late in the season, joining Subban, Markov, Petry, Alexei Emelin and Tom Gilbert. Towering Jarred Tinordi and former Tampa Bay rearguard Mark Barberio will be looking to displace one of that group. The centres look to be Plekanec, Galchenyuk, Mitchell and Lars Eller. Pacioretty, Desharnais, sophomore Jacob de la Rose and Michael Bournival are back on left wing, with veteran Tomas Fleischmann in camp on a tryout. There’s a glut on the right side with Brendan Gallagher, Dale Weise, Smith-Pelley and newly acquired Zach Kassian, as well as Flynn and off-season signing Alexander Semin. The Canadiens allowed the fewest goals in the NHL last season, but they hope to improve on an attack that ranked 20th in the league and a power play that scored on only 16.5 per cent of its chances and was punchless in the playoffs. “Everyone says the power play struggled, but we had great personnel,” said Beaulieu. “I don’t think the changes are as big as some people think they need to be.” The first day was given over to physical tests and photo shoots and players will have their first on-ice workouts on Friday. None of the long-standing veterans or coaches were made available to the media.
Maple Leafs glad to have ‘clean slate’ with Babcock BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Mike Babcock didn’t spend the off-season watching tape of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a conscious decision. “Things went so poorly, why would I watch them be bad?” the new Leafs coach said Thursday. “It makes no sense to me. They’ve got a clean slate, and I want to catch them be good. That’s what I got right there when I walk out of the coaches’ office: catch them doing it right.” Babcock and the Maple Leafs enter training camp with the best kind of unfamiliarity. The veteran Stanley Cup- and Olympic gold-medal-winning coach understands he’s in for some surprises, but he doesn’t want the team’s recent struggles to cloud his view. He doesn’t know how centre Nazem Kadri has shown flashes of sublime skill mixed with fits of inconsistency, how defenceman Jake Gardiner sometimes can’t be trusted in his own end or how captain Dion Phaneuf has been maligned for his mistakes. Babcock has coached against the Leafs, but this camp is a chance for him and general manager Lou Lamoriello to get to know players and make their own judgements. “Everyone knows what the coaches expect and what the management expects from everybody,” Kadri said. “That’s realistically the difference is there’s no grey area. Everything’s crystal clear.” Clarity had been lacking in the past when Dave Nonis was the GM and Randy Carlye was the coach. Several players said they aren’t used to the kind of personal attention they have received from Babcock, who made several calls to players over the summer to see how things were going.
When Gardiner showed up at the Leafs’ practice facility, teammates asked him if Babcock had called. When he said he had four or five times and was told the same from others, it was clear the coach with the US$50-million, eight-year contract wanted to get off on the right foot. “Mike did a really good job of reaching out to everyone and basically outlining what he expects,” Phaneuf said. Now it’s up to the players, especially those who want bigger roles, to show Babcock what they’ve got. It starts with three practices in Bedford, N.S., outside Halifax before the pre-season begins Monday in split-squad action against the Ottawa Senators. “A first impression’s pretty huge, especially on a new coach for playing time and stuff like that,” Gardiner said. “Everyone’s got a fresh start and it’ll be good for everyone with a new coach, a lot of new faces.” Gone is right-winger Phil Kessel, traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins on July 1. In camp are several newcomers on one-year deals, including forwards
Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau, Shawn Matthias and Mark Arcobello and defenceman Matt Hunwick, and winger Michael Grabner, acquired Thursday in a six-player trade with the New York Islanders. Grabner has one year left on his deal, and the Leafs have four players in camp on professional tryouts hoping to get a similar chance. Forwards Brad Boyes, Curtis Glencross and Devin Setoguchi and defenceman Mark Fraser could take advantage of Babcock’s clean slate to earn jobs for the season. “I don’t even know how old they are,” Babcock said. “Can they play, or can they not?” That’s the determination Babcock, Lamoriello and their staffs will make over the next few weeks before Toronto hosts the Montreal Canadiens Oct. 7 to open the regular season. Lamoriello stressed that Leafs brass has no “preconceived notions” about players going in.
For Babcock, that includes goaltending, where Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer are back as a tandem. Bernier would seem to fit the bill as the No. 1 netminder Babcock likes, but he’s not being handed that distinction. “Someone’s got to grab it,” Babcock said. “Let’s decide who wants to play. They’ve put in their work, I know that. They both want to be No. 1. I don’t know. Let’s watch and see who it is.” While there’s plenty up in the air, Babcock made it perfectly clear that while Phaneuf has been the subject of intense attention and criticism, he believes in the defenceman as a top player and as the team’s leader. “It’s an easy target if you’re the captain,” Babcock said. “I like Dion as the captain of the Leafs. He’s going to be the captain of the Leafs. He’s our leader right now and we can really help him with the leadership side of things and we’ll help him be the best he can be just like everyone else.”

TORONTO — On the first day of training camp, the Toronto Maple Leafs got faster and more flexible by trading five players to the New York Islanders for winger Michael Grabner. The Leafs sent minor-league forwards Taylor Beck and Carter Verhaeghe, defencemen Matt Finn and Tom Nilsson and goaltender Christopher Gibson to the Islanders for Grabner, a 27-year-old speedster who has one year left on his contract. “He brings exceptional speed,” Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello said of Grabner. “There’s no question that he’s one of the top penalty-killers in the league. He pushes other people, and he pushes the defence back.” Grabner has a salary-cap hit of US$3 million this season and is owed $5 million in actual salary. That’s no problem for a team that will pay injured winger Nathan Horton $6 million, even though he failed his physical Thursday and may never play again because of chronic back problems. In 317 regular-season games with the Islanders and Vancouver Canucks, Grabner has 155 points (95 goals and 60 assists). He had eight goals and five assists in 34 games last season. By dealing a handful of American
Hockey League players, none of whom were considered top prospects in the new regime, the Leafs went from 49 contracts to 45. With a 50-contract limit, they have some room to manoeuvre. “You never know,” Lamoriello said. “We don’t know what might come available … you always want to have the availability to do anything and everything.” Toronto has four players — forwards Brad Boyes, Curtis Glencross and Devin Setoguchi and defenceman Mark Fraser — at camp on professional tryout agreements. Having a handful of contract spots to work with in the pre-season would also allow the Leafs to make another trade or claim a player off waivers. Lamoriello and coach Mike Babcock have said they’ll spend camp trying to make determinations on the current players. “I think the best word is there’s no preconceived notions,” Lamoriello said. “I haven’t seen enough or know enough about who we are right now. I think every one of the players, there’s a fresh start. I think that that’s the most important thing. And hopefully people will come to the forefront that we’re not even aware of.”
Alfredsson returns to Senators in hockey operations
team that Daniel has agreed to begin the second part of his storied hockey career right where he belongs — with the Senators,” Owner Eugene Melnyk said. “Daniel has been an exceptional part of our team’s history. He was a tremendous leader on the ice and equally in our community. “I very much want him to continue to be part of our hockey club and our city.” Alfredsson spent 17 seasons with the Senators as a player, including parts of 13 as captain. He left to play one more NHL season for the Detroit Red Wings.
OTTAWA — Daniel Alfredsson is back with the Ottawa Senators. The Senators named Alfredsson as their senior advisor of hockey operations on Thursday. Alfredsson will serve as an advisor to general manager Bryan Murray and will support hockey operations at the NHL level from scouting to player development. “I am excited for our fans and our

The Day Train keeps rolling at BMW SPIETH REBOUNDS FROM DROUGHT WITH HOLE-IN-ONE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Jason Day already had seven birdies on his card and one eagle, courtesy of a shot he holed from 79 yards out of a fairway bunker. He was walking across a bridge Thursday at the BMW Championship when someone asked him during an exchange of greetings, “How are you doing, Jason?” Jordan Spieth was a few steps ahead of Day, and he could hardly contain his laughter. “Really? You’re asking him THAT?” Spieth said. Day has never been better. He powered his way around Conway Farms and was at 10-under par through 17 holes when thunderstorms halted the opening round. His final shot was a 346-yard tee shot with the wind at his back that settled in light rough and left him 44 yards away from a front pin on No. 9. Day has to hole that Friday morning for a 59. And he didn’t even know it. “I thought it was a par 72, so I’m sitting there going, ‘10 under, there’s no chance at all I can get it.’ But if it goes in, it goes in,” he said. “Right now, I’m just trying to play the best I can. I’m just trying to get off to a good start.” He is playing better than anyone at the moment, a winner in three of his last five tournaments, including his first major. A victory in the third FedEx Cup playoff event would send him to No. 1 in the world for the first time, and not many would argue with that. Day was four shots ahead of PGA Tour rookie Daniel Berger, who had a 6-under 65. Brendon Todd had a 66. Only 17 players completed the opening round. Spieth finally got on track. Coming off consecutive missed cuts that eventually cost him the No. 1 ranking, he had a hole-in-one on the par-3 second hole to end a peculiar drought. It was

Jordan Spieth hits his approach shot on the 10th hole during the first round of the BMW Championship golf tournament at Conway Farms Golf Club, Thursday, in Lake Forest, Ill. the first time in 72 holes that he was under par during any round in a tournament. And then he chipped in from 80 feet for birdie on the next hole. Little good that did him. Walking to the fourth tee, Spieth pointed behind him at Day and said, “He’s still the clinic. I’ve barely got the (honours on the) tee.” Spieth made a hole-in-one and Day poured in a 20-foot birdie putt. Spieth chipped in for birdie on No. 3 and Day matched it with a 5-foot birdie. The play was spectacular. The 27-year-old Australian was as sharp as he has been all year. He is 89-under par dating to the British Open. Day is playing so well that he said every round feels like practice. “No matter what you do, even if you hit a bad shot, it’s going to be all right,” Day said. “That’s kind of the way it feels. It’s hard to explain because I’m just out there and I’m not really paying
attention to the score and I’m hitting it down the middle and hitting it on the greens and holing putts.” It was the best show of the PGA Tour’s post-season, even for a Thursday that was interrupted by a dark and stormy sky north of Chicago. The group of Day, Spieth and Rickie Fowler — Nos. 1-2-3 in the FedEx Cup — attracted an enormous gallery and the players delivered one great shot after another. Fowler, coming off his third win of the year at the TPC Boston two weeks ago, must have felt like a third-wheel at the end, though he produced four straight birdies on his front nine. When they made the turn, the hits kept coming. Day’s shot from 79 yards in a fairway bunker on No. 1 landed beyond the hole and spun back a few feet for eagle to get him to 6 under. On the par3 second, Spieth’s tee shot just covered the bunker, hopped once in the first
cut and rolled into the cup for an ace, the second of his PGA Tour career. Day holed a 20-foot birdie putt. Both made birdie on No. 3, Spieth with his long chip-in and Day with a wedge to 5 feet. Spieth found his groove with a shot into 4 feet on No. 3 for another birdie. Day’s power was evident on his final few holes. He tried to drive the green on the 352-yard 17th hole and landed in the collar, 60 feet away. He nearly holed the chip for eagle. On the 600-yard eighth hole into a strengthening wind, he hit his drive 305 yards and then powered a 3-wood high and into the wind. It landed just short of the green, 30 feet from the hole, and he nearly chipped that one in for eagle. Day gets one more try for an eagle when he gets back Friday morning, a 44-yard pitch for a shot at 59 to tie the course record Jim Furyk set two years ago.
U.S., Europe both vie for underdog status ahead of Solheim Cup BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Going into the Solheim Cup, both teams seem to be fighting for the status of underdog. The Europeans and Americans have both been trying to dampen expectations before the tournament gets underway Friday. It’s the biggest prize in women’s team golf and the U.S. can point out that Europe is playing at home and going for three in a row, having captured back-to-back titles for the first time in 2013. But Europe team captain Carin Koch insists the past will have no bearing at all on this weekend’s competition at the St. Leon-Rot Golf Club near Heidelberg in Germany, and she pointed to the strength of the American team based on the rankings. “They’re so much higher-ranked than we are,” Koch said. “This is Solheim Cup 2015 and we start from scratch.” Veteran Scottish player Catriona Matthew agreed. “World ranking-wise their average would certainly be a lot higher than ours. They’re going to go in here as favourites,” said the 46-year-old Matthew, who will be making her eighth Solheim Cup appearance. Ten of the American players are in the top 40, while Europe have three, but Angela Stanford believes the Europeans’ point is moot. “People say, ‘on paper.’ Well, paper doesn’t play,” the 35th-ranked Stanford said. “When you get out on the course it’s golf and it’s match play, and absolutely anything can happen. And you can’t put on paper somebody’s heart. It’s hard to say (whether)
there’s a favourite or not.” Both teams feature a mixture of youth and experience. Alison Lee, who played her way onto the U.S. team as an LPGA rookie this season, is the only newcomer on either team. “I’ve played more golf this year than I’ve ever played in my life,” the 20-year-old Lee said. U.S. captain Juli Inkster picked Brittany Lang and Paula Creamer to join automatically qualified Lee, Stanford, Stacy Lewis, Lexi Thompson, Cristie Kerr, Michelle Wie, Brittany Lincicome, Morgan Pressel, Gerina Piller, and Lizette Salas. “This team is really connected,” said Inkster, a seven-time major winner. “They’re older. They kind of get what this is about. It’s not about them. It’s about . this is a lifetime experience in one week. And I want them to have a good feeling about this week.” Lincicome, Kerr, Thompson, Pettersen and Nordqvist all have LPGA Tour victories this season.
Wie, who is 6-5-1 in three previous appearances at Solheim, has overcome a frustrating season hampered by injuries, but she appears to have put the problems behind her. She tied for 16th last week in France at the Evian Championship, her best finish since returning from a left ankle injury. For a time, it wasn’t looking good. “There are some conversations when I talked to Juli, honestly I told her I don’t know if I could play or not. But the past month, it really has been night and day. I played last week with no pain, knock on wood. And this week, too,” Wie said on Wednesday. “I feel great. I feel really good this week. I’m excited to be here. I’m just ecstatic to be here.” Koch brought Caroline Hedwall of Sweden, Karine Icher of France, Caroline Masson of Germany and Matthew back to the European team with her four picks. They all played in Colorado in 2013, when Hedwall became the first player to win five out of five
matches. She retained the cup for Europe by winning the 14th point. “For the last year I’ve been hitting the ball really well but I just haven’t putted that well. It kind of was the same situation when I came into the Solheim in 2013 - I didn’t make many putts and all of sudden it works. I’m kind of hoping for some magic this week, too,” said the 26-year-old Swede. Hedwall was also on the winning team in 2011. The rest of the European team is made of Suzann Pettersen of Norway, Charley Hull and Melissa Reid of England, and Gwladys Nocera of France, who qualified from the Ladies European Tour points list, as well as Anna Nordqvist of Sweden, Azahara Munoz of Spain, Sandra Gal of Germany and Carlota Ciganda of Spain, who earned their spots through their world rankings. The U.S. leads the series 8-5 overall. The 2017 matches will be played at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in Iowa.

I think it’s gone too long. It’s really stupid the way some of these restarts are being handled by the drivers.” Jeff Gordon said he didn’t see Kenseth’s restart, but suggested Kenseth wouldn’t be shy to jump the start because NASCAR doesn’t seem to take any action against the drivers. “He knows they’re not going to call it, and until they call it, guys are going to continue to push,” Gordon said. “It’s mainly because the restart box isn’t big enough.

Canadian captain Ardron to miss World Cup opener BY THE CANADIAN PRESS
RUGBY
Captain Tyler Ardron, nursing a knee injury, will miss Canada’s Rugby World Cup opener Saturday against Ireland. Veteran forward Jamie Cudmore, in his fourth Rugby World Cup, will captain 18th-ranked Canada against No. 6 Ireland in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. Ardron has not played since injuring his medial collateral ligament July 29 against Samoa in Toronto in Pacific Nations Cup play. Team officials hope he may be able to come off the bench in Canada’s second game Sept. 26 against No. 14 Italy in Leeds, England. Canadian coach Kieran Crowley announced his lineup Thursday at a news conference in Swansea. Sky Bet has Ireland as a 1-750 favourite to win, meaning a $100 bet will return 13 cents in profit. Canada is a 66-1 underdog, with a $100 bet netting you $6,700. Fullback Harry Jones also misses out on the Ireland game, recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in a warmup game against Fiji. Matt Evans steps in for Jones, with Jeff Hassler and DTV van der Merwe on the wings and Nick Blevins and Ciaran Hearns at centre. Nathan Hirayama opens at fly half with Gord McRorie at scrum half. Former captain Aaron Carpenter fills in for Ardron at No. 8 with Kyle Gimour and sevens skipper John Moonlight at flanker. The 37-yearold Cudmore combines with Brett Beukeboom in the second row. Props Hubert Buydens and Doug Wooldridge flank hooker Ray Barkwill. In a somewhat surprising move, young lock Evan Olmstead does not make the matchday 23. Crowley had described the 24-year-old as the forward who had been the big mover in the leadup to the tournament. Veteran Jebb Sinclair can provide cover for both the second row
and back row. The London Irish forward starts on the bench, likely because he has seen limited action since recovering from a knee injury. Van der Merwe and Carpenter are playing in their third World Cup. Barkwill, Wooldridge, Beukeboom, Gilmour, Moonlight, McRorie, Blevins and Hassler are all making their tournament debut. The Irish are defending Six Nations champions but enter the tournament on the heels of losses to Wales (16-10) and England (21-13). Still Canada has never beaten Ireland, going 0-5-1 in matches between the two in all competitions. Luke Fitzgerald comes in at centre for the injured Robbie Henshaw (hamstring) in an Irish team that has six World Cup debutantes. Scrum half Conor Murray has been deemed fit after suffering a concussion against England two weeks ago, while fullback Rob Kearney has recovered from a bruised knee. The 20-team tournament opens Friday when host England, ranked fourth in the world, plays No. 9 Fiji at Twickenham.

to worry about calling that because now you can (go) anywhere in that box and get that edge you deserve (as the leader).” Kenseth agreed that the onus is on NASCAR. “I think that they need to probably make some calls, and then we’ll get everybody more honest,” Kenseth said. “When the second-place guy jumps the first-place car and it’s obvious, I think they need to make that call and then it won’t happen anymore. I think you make that call one time, two times, three times — whatever it may be — and it will stop.”

ing come championship time, and the organization has not won a Cup title since Tony Stewart won his second one in 2005. Denny Hamlin made it to the final round last year, but lost to Harvick in the finale. He acknowledged the Gibbs group is strong right now, perhaps a tick better than Stewart-Haas Racing, but his experience over this 10-race format gives him the edge. “I don’t know that we’re better than them. I think for us, it’s all about having the experience,” Harvick said. “It’s really not all about the fastest car. It’s about having the experience to go out and handle the emotions of 10 weeks and I think as you go into these 10 weeks, you have to put it all together and there’s a lot more than racing to handle.” RESTART WOES There’s not a driver in the Chase field who doesn’t have questions about the way NASCAR is currently handling restarts, and the topic has been debated for more than a month. It flared again after Saturday night’s race at Richmond when team owner Roger Penske was irked that NASCAR didn’t penalize race-winner Matt Kenseth for a restart against Joey Logano that Penske believed was illegal. “I’m not comfortable one bit with how they’re officiating it,” Kyle Busch

CHICAGO — It didn’t take Kevin Harvick long to start needling the drivers standing in his way of a second consecutive title. The reigning Sprint Cup champion has heard all the hype surrounding Joe Gibbs Racing, which closed out the regular season with eight wins in the final 11 races. Harvick, with 10 second-place finishes this year, isn’t at all concerned with the JGR group. As the 16 drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship gathered Thursday to discuss the upcoming playoffs, Harvick dismissed any notion that he’s got some work to do to catch up to the Gibbs group. “I wouldn’t consider us behind the Gibbs cars,” Harvick said. “I think we are going to pound them into the ground. That’s what I think.” Harvick has never backed away from a challenge, and he’s always used his confidence to his advantage. He loves to poke at his rivals in an attempt to rattle them and get them off their game. His attempt Thursday didn’t rattle JGR driver Kyle Busch, who is tied with teammate Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson for the top seed in the Chase, which begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. “I thought (trash talk) was supposed to be (said on) the Media Day before Homestead, not the Media Day before the Chase starts,” Busch said. He also said Harvick doesn’t do his trash-talking directly. “He won’t do it to our faces he’ll just do it through you guys,” Busch said. “I’d really hate to see him blow a motor here the first week. That would be really, really bad.” Harvick, though, isn’t backing down from the Gibbs drivers. He noticed how all four Gibbs drivers raced each other hard during last weekend’s race at Richmond when Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards stormed to the front of the field. Should they keep that intensity up, even when racing each other, Harvick thinks JGR could be in trouble. “Hopefully, they can beat themselves,” he said. JGR has done a good job of unravel-

Rocky council review petition rejected PRELIMINARY REVIEW WILL STILL BE CONDUCTED BY ADVOCATE STAFF A Rocky Mountain House group lobbying for a review of town council has had its petition rejected. A letter from Municipal Affairs Minister Deron Bilous said a review of the petition is “insufficient to warrant an inquiry.” Of the 1,816 signatures submitted, a chief administrative officer appointed by the province excluded 451 names, leaving the petition 95 signatures short. Under the Municipal Government Act, a petition for an inquiry requires at least 20 per cent of the population — or 1,460 of Rocky’s population of 7,300.
Local businessman and spokesman for the petition group Dale Shippelt said the rejection was unexpected. “That was a real kick in the groin,” he said on Thursday. Petition canvassers purposely collected more names than they needed, assuming some would not be accepted. “We thought with 25 per cent extra signatures we had plenty,” said Shippelt. “I don’t know where it went astray.” No explanation was given in the letter as to why so many signatures were considered invalid. Shippelt said a follow-up letter has been sent to the premier, Municipal Affairs minister and others seeking an explanation and whether there is an avenue for appeal.
CLEARWATER Simply collecting the 95 names the petition came up short does not seem an option because they are supposed to have been collected in a 60-day period, which has expired. So far, there has been no reply to the letter. Shippelt plans to phone next week if nothing is heard from Edmonton. The petition asked the province to review the management of the town, distribution of town funds, conduct of members of council, governance with a focus on potential conflicts of interest, abuse of power and positions by some council members, and council’s consideration of the community’s welfare and interests as a whole. A number of hot-button issues have
become the topic of local conversation over the last year, such as the multi-million-dollar redevelopment of the town’s main street, a project where some feel council overspent. Questions have also been raised about staff hiring and firing practices. In the letter, the minister says while an inspection or inquiry will not be ordered the “petition does indicate that electors have concerns which warrant attention. “Therefore, ministry staff will conduct a preliminary review into the concerns and issues that led to the petitioners’ request.” The purpose of a review is to find out why a petition was organized and “ensure that an appropriate response is taken.” A spokesperson for the town could not be reached on Thursday.

Big white letters will soon spell out to people that they have arrived at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. The new signage on the building that houses the museum and gallery is part of a $200,000 exterior upgrade that also involves replacing old cedar panels with colourful metal siding with a touch of graphic design. Executive director Lorna Johnson said right now there are only banners in front naming the building. “There’s no permanent name anywhere. We have people stand right in front of the building and not know where it is so that should really help,” Johnson said on Thursday. The name will be constructed of raised metal letters about half a metre tall. The design for the lettering is being finalized now. Phoenix Construction was contract-

Johnson said the 18 charred cedar panels have been on the building since it was built and had started to deteriorate. Replacing the panels will also stabilize the exterior shell of the building so it remains functional. “They’ve done good duty for 40
years. That’s pretty outstanding for a finish.” She said the panels, which would have ended up in the landfill, will actually get new life with international artist Peter von Tiesenhausen, of the Grande Prairie area, who plans to use them in his art. Coloured metal replacing the wood will also have some graphic elements on the northwest corner at the front of the building. She said the intent was to keep the character of the building. “We’ve put that mural on the north side of the building now so we picked up colours from the mural to use for the panels for the rest of the building.” The hope is to put more artwork the south side of the building in the future, Johnson said. Funding for the project came from the City of Red Deer and it needs to be finished before the end of December. Access to the building should not be impacted during construction.
Lacombe looking at allowing chickens in city limits BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE NOISE, SMELL, PEST ATTRACTION BY ADVOCATE STAFF City slicker chickens could be coming to Lacombe. The city is looking to follow the examples of a number of other Central Alberta communities, including Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House, in allowing residents to keep egg-laying hens at their homes. Lacombe Mayor Steve Christie said the idea was put forward by residents at a Coffee with Council session last spring. “We recognize that urban hen keeping is a growing trend, and therefore have directed administration to develop a pilot project to identify the risks and problems, as well as the overall

Allowing urban hens, like community gardens, fits in with Lacombe’s sustainability plan. The goal is to improve

access to locally grown, healthy food. The two biggest concerns related to urban hens are the nuisance factor for neighbours and animal safety, says the city. Most common complaints in jurisdictions allowing urban chickens are noise, smell and the potential to attract pests such as mice, crows and skunks. Typically, communities limit the numbers of hens and require their owners to follow guidelines from the Poultry Research Centre on how to keep and feed the birds. Currently, Lacombe’s bylaws prohibits keeping livestock, bees, wild animals and hens. Staff are expected to come back to council with a draft bylaw and regulations for approval at a future meeting.
One person’s sewage is another person’s fertilizer. The Town of Innisfail is de-commissioning its sewage lagoons and treatment plant — and local farmers stand to benefit. Over the next three years, sludge will be recovered from the lagoons and worked into nearby farm fields as part of a $4.1-million project. Innisfail doesn’t need the lagoons and treatment plant any longer because its waste is transported to Red Deer for treatment through a recently completed regional sewer line. Town council recently directed staff to submit a remediation plan to Alberta Environment and Parks to dispose of 95,000 cubic metres (95 million litres) of sludge. The plan is expected to be submitted within a month. Provincial approval could take six months. Once cleaned up, the treatment plant and lagoon sites could be used to expand the town’s public works yard or converted into an industrial site. Consultants analyzed the sludge last year and developed a disposal plan. Sludge removal is expected to cost around $2 million, with soil treatment and building removal roughly doubling the cost. The federal and provincial governments will pay two-thirds of the cost through a grant and the town will cover the rest. The regional sewage line stretches from Olds to Red Deer and cost about $132 million. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

Two men were arrested following a residential break-in and an attempt to use a stolen credit card. Red Deer RCMP said the men were allegedly caught on camera during the break-in and while using a credit card stolen during the break-in. The break-in occurred sometime during the day on Sept. 5 at Morrisroe. On Sept. 10, an attempt was made to use the stolen credit card at a convenience store in Bower. Gregory Loe Doyle, 33, and Damien Ray Vasseur, 23, were both charged with residential break-in and fraud under $5,000. Both were scheduled to appear in Red Deer provincial court on Thursday.

AHS expanding Community Helpers Program Alberta Health Services is expanding its Community Helpers Program to Red Deer to train people how to support youth and young people in crisis to prevent self-harm and suicide. Community Helpers Program trains natural helpers like teachers, coaches, trusted or respected students. “Just as Albertans are trained to perform CPR in the event they come across someone in cardiac distress, our program is training Albertans to support people in emotional distress and to point them toward appropriate resources in their community,” said Dr. Laura Calhoun, AHS provincial medical director for addiction and mental health, in a press release. When Community Helpers are identified, they have the opportunity to take a free, two-day workshop to learn more about the signs of mental distress and what supports to use. Training sessions for Red Deer have already begun and will run periodically throughout the year. Participants receive information on many mental health and wellness topics, such as suicide prevention, substance use and misuse, depression, stress management, and healthy relationships. They will also learn about dealing with crisis situations and effective communication, and will be introduced to mental health resources within their community. So far, 3,400 community helpers from across the province have been trained since the initiative was launched in 2010. The program is now expanding to Calgary, Red Deer and Cochrane to run in a total of 13 communities with an anticipated 6,500 community helpers within two years.

The City of Red Deer is encouraging residents to ditch the four wheels to mark World Car Free Day on Sept. 22. Whether that’s biking, walking, taking transit or carpooling to your destination, make the pledge to park it. Matthew Chambers, environmental program specialist, said using alternative forms of transportation is beneficial on both personal and environmental levels. “This is one way we can cut air polluting emissions, and work toward improving air quality in our region,” he said. “It’s also a great way to break out of our daily routines and try something new.” Transit service will be free on Sept. 22 for both regular service and the Action Bus. Residents who use an alternative form of transportation on World Car Free Day can go to www. reddeer.ca/carfree to fill out a survey and enter to win a bus pass or a Recreation, Parks and Culture family pass. Residents can also make the pledge to park it at the Red Deer Public Market on Sept. 19. World Car Free Day organizers, along with partner agencies, will be at the market to help you prepare to go car free. Sign the pledge and encourage others to make the pledge to park it as well. World Car Free Day began in Europe in the 1990s to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution one day at a time. For more information on World Car Free Day, visit www.reddeer.ca/carfree.

2 hour online delivery? CANADIAN E-TAILER GIVE ULTRA FAST DELIVERY A SHOT BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — In the U.S., online shopping juggernaut Amazon is experimenting with a service that almost seems too good to be true: one-hour home delivery of purchases. Don’t expect to see that delivery option on Amazon.ca anytime soon, but a Vancouver-based e-tailer has come close to matching that offering. Shoes.com has launched a two-hour delivery service — for a $19.99 surcharge — for select footwear products purchased on its Canadian site shoeme.ca as late as 4 p.m. The service debuts in Vancouver and Toronto, with plans to expand the offering to Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Ottawa by year’s end. “We think there’s a decent-sized part of the market that also likes that instant gratification,” said Shoes.com CEO Roger Hardy. “If I’m ordering something online, today is better than tomorrow or three days from now. We see the younger consumer being more and more that way.” Savvy shoppers have long complained that the e-commerce experience in Canada isn’t advanced as in the U.S. As Canada Post’s letter mail volume has plunged, the Crown corporation has tried to expand its parcel business. In 2013, it launched a trial same-day delivery service in Toronto with a few major online retailers. Best Buy currently offers the service in Toronto, now called Delivered Tonight, for purchases made before 11 a.m., with expected

BRIEF Building permit values fall, but still strong Building permit values are slightly down from the same period in 2014 but remained strong from January to August this year. In August, 18 commercial permit values were issued with an estimated at $1.6 million due in part to the $500,000 Carnival Cinemas renovations and the $250,000 Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre renovations. West Park Middle School and Father Henri Voisin School each added two modular units, which provided an estimated $490,000 to the value of public building permits. Last August the commercial permit values rang in at $2.6 million. A total of 943 permits — 748 residential and 116 commercial — valued at $15 million have been issued between January and August this year. During the same period last year the permit value to date was $114 million. Monthly permit statistics are available at the Red Deer Open Data Catalogue on www. reddeer.ca
Regulator says Nexen can resume oilsands pipeline operations CALGARY — Alberta’s energy regulator says Nexen Energy can resume more oilsands operations after it was forced to shutdown pipelines for not complying with maintenance and monitoring rules. Last month the company, a subsidiary of Chinese stateowned CNOOC Ltd., was ordered to cease operating 95 pipelines. The suspensions came as the regulator was investigating a July 15 pipeline spill at Nexen’s Long Lake operation that leaked about five million litres of bitumen, produced water and sand into muskeg. The regulator says on Sept. 6 it lifted most of the suspension order and on Wednesday lifted the order on another 10 production pipelines. But it says some pipeline operations remain suspended and will not be allowed to

The regulator says Nexen could still face penalties including prosecution depending on the results of an ongoing investigation.
Shopify shares surge after it teams up with Amazon to help online merchants OTTAWA — Shares of e-commerce startup Shopify Inc. surged Thursday after the Ottawa-based company announced it was teaming with Amazon to help online merchants grow. In early afternoon trading, Shopify’s (TSX:SH) stock was up $8.91 or 23.39 per cent at $47. After its debut as a public company in May, the company’s shares peaked at $53.50. Under the deal, Shopify said it had been selected as preferred migration provider for Amazon Webstore merchants. Seattle-based Amazon announced earlier this year it was shutting its Webstore, which started in 2006, after losing ground to startups such as Shopify and Texas-based Bigcommerce Inc. “Both Amazon and Shopify are leaders in e-commerce so it’s a natural fit that we would enable our retailers to seamlessly run their businesses across either platform,” said Harley Finkelstein, Shopify’s chief platform officer. He said many of Shopify’s more than 175,000 merchants already use Amazon as a sales channel, so this change will “bridge the gap” between the two companies. Webstore sellers can now migrate their businesses to a Shopify account, starting at $29 a month and receive a 30day free trial. Shopify said it will also give its own customers tools to grow their online business and integrate with various Amazon offerings. Shopify merchants can access Amazon’s Login and Pay gateway in the United States.

cil of Canada, said the appeal of same-day service depends on whether shoppers want to shell out more for speedier delivery, especially with free shipping and in-store pickup options increasingly available. “Sometimes as a consumer you want something right away, sometimes you just want something when you can get it. And the trade-off is what consumers are willing to pay for shipping costs,” LeBlanc said. “Same-day delivery is probably important, but the jury’s a little bit out as to how business transformational it is. And can you even make
those operations as a retailer? That’s also an important consideration.” A online shopping survey conducted by courier service UPS in the U.S. found that delivery speed wasn’t the leading factor among shoppers when comparing retailers. It ranked fourth behind product selection, product information and reputation in the poll of 5,000 consumers. Free shipping remained the most important option during checkout for 77 per cent of respondents. Homegrown company PUDO — short for Pick-Up Drop-
Off — is looking to simplify deliveries. Billed as North America’s first customizable parcel pickup and drop-off service, the company works in tandem with local retailers including convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores, which store deliveries for individuals who aren’t at home to receive them. While Canada Post now offers the option of having parcels delivered to local post offices and some retailers offer free in-store pickup, PUDO believes consumers will be willing to pay to have later, more flexible access to their packages. There is a pay-as-you-go option for PUDO members to have their items shipped to a designated pickup location, with fees starting at $3. PUDO CEO Frank Coccia said their goal is to have locations within two kilometres of Canadians in urban cities, and a five- to 25-kilometre radius in rural areas. “It’s just giving the consumer the final touchpoint,” said Coccia. “There is another counter out there that can receive your packages, and they are open later so that you don’t have to rush home by 7 or 8 because it’s sitting at a postal counter.” Antia said the sheer amount of competition in retail is “crushing,” especially with international brands vying for Canadian consumer dollars. “It used to be that you would look at who the incumbents were in your retail sector…. Nowadays, it’s coming from anywhere.”
Wall urges oil industry to fight off critics BY THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Saskatchewan’s premier is urging the oil and gas industry to do a better job selling itself or risk losing the battle for public opinion to celebrity critics who he says have unrealistic ideas on how quickly the world can kick carbon. B r a d Brad Wall Wall told the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association there is a growing, vocal minority that want the industry shut down completely and they are influencing policy-makers. “We’re at some disadvantage when it comes to this ar-
gument. The other side has great scientific minds speaking out for them, like Neil Young and Daryl Hannah,” Wall said Thursday, referencing the rock singer and “Splash” actress who have been outspoken in their opposition to the oilsands and pipelines. “We don’t have a lot of glamour on our side … but here is something else we have. We have facts. “I humbly suggest to this group today that we urgently redouble our efforts to present the facts, to be disseminators of them, to be purveyors of the truth.” Wall said resource proponents need to emphasize the steps Canada takes to protect the environment through advancements in technology such as carbon capture and storage. And the pipeline industry must also emphasize safety advantages to transporting oil by pipe rather than
rail. He said while getting the world off fossil fuels is a laudable goal, it’s “magical thinking” to believe that it can be done quickly and painlessly. Renewable resource technology is getting better, he said, but it’s not at the point where it can be solely relied upon, especially at peak times. “Have you noticed that there is just not as many people calling for an end to fossil fuels in January in Canada?,” he said. “I’ve certainly noticed that. The fact is, with current technology, renewables can take us only so far right now.” Wall, who is facing an election in his province next year, has been an outspoken supporter of the oil and gas industry — including the proposed Energy East and Keystone XL pipelines — and he’s taken on that role with increased vigour since the election of an NDP government in neighbouring Alberta.
Federal Reserve leaves key interest rate unchanged BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve ended weeks of speculation Thursday by keeping U.S. interest rates at record lows in the face of threats from a weak global economy, persistently low inflation and unstable financial markets. But at a news conference after a Fed policy meeting, Chair Janet Yellen said a rate hike was still likely this year. A majority of Fed officials on the committee that sets the federal funds rate — which controls the interest that banks charge each other — foresee higher rates before next year. The Fed will next meet in October and then in December. “Every (Fed) meeting is a live meeting,” Yellen said. “October, it remains a possibility.” In maintaining its policy,

the Fed is keeping its benchmark short-term rate near zero, where it’s been since the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. A higher Fed rate would eventually send rates up on many consumer and business loans. The ultra-low loan rates the Fed engineered were intended to help the economy recover from the Great Recession. Since then, the economy has nearly fully recovered even as pressures from abroad appear to have grown. In a statement it issued after its meeting ended, the Fed that while the U.S. job market is solid, global pressures may “restrain economic activity” and further slow inflation. Signs of a sharp slowdown in China, the world’s second-largest economy, and other emerging economies have intensified fear about the U.S. and global economy. And low

oil prices and a high-priced dollar have kept inflation undesirably low. “We’re focused particularly on China and emerging markets,” Yellen said at her news conference. “ We’ve long expected, as most analysts have, to see some slowing in Chinese growth over time as they rebalance their economy. The question is whether or not there might be a risk of a more abrupt slowdown than most analysts expect.” China’s economy has slowed for four straight years — from 10.6 per cent in 2010 to 7.4 per cent last year. The International Monetary Fund expects the Chinese economy to grow just 6.8 per cent this year, slowest since 1990. Stocks ended mostly lower after a volatile day as traders tried to decide on the path of interest rates.

In Toronto, the S&P/TSX index closed up 23.38 points at 13,787.16 after soaring just over 300 points on Wednesday, by far its biggest gain since late last month amid a period of extreme volatility.

However, the Fed, in language it has used before, said rates would only rise when it sees further improvement in the labour market and is “reasonably confident” that inflation will move back to the Fed’s optimal inflation target of two per cent. The U.S. central bank said inflation was up just 1.2 per cent in its latest reading. It foresees inflation accelerating to a 1.7 per cent increase next year, but still below the target rate. Meanwhile, the majority of Fed policy-makers said they still expected a rate hike would occur before the end of the year, predicting a single, quarter-point increase. Patrick O’Toole, vice-president at CIBC Asset Management, said the documents released by the Fed along with its decision show the central bank believes that America is growing at a fairly healthy rate in 2016. “If you’re running an economy at a growth rate that’s higher than what some would say is trend, it’s curious that they think they can justify holding rates at an emergency setting of zero,” he said.

American Airlines briefly stops flights in some cities citing computer problems BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS — American Airlines flights to and from Dallas, Chicago and Miami were briefly stopped on Thursday by a computer problem that prevented passengers from checking in. Airline officials said they fixed their computer systems after less than two hours but were still trying to determine the exact cause of the interruption. American spokesman Casey Norton said there was no indication that the airline’s computers had been hacked. The midday failure affected flights on American and its regional affiliate, American Eagle. The Federal Aviation Administration said that Ameri-
Environmental group enlists actors in ramping up Arctic awareness campaign OFFSHORE DRILLING BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Critics of Arctic offshore petroleum drilling have used climbing gear, kayaks and polar bear costumes to protest industrial activity in the Arctic. They’re now trying humour. Actors Alexander Skarsgard of True Blood and Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock, along with Andy Bichlbaum of The Yes Men activists, are on a Greenpeace ship in the Greenland Sea with a team from the Funny or Die production company to make a comedy series focused on industrial threats to the Arctic. “It’s really important that we reach as many people as possible with the message that the Arctic deserves our protection — it’s not just another resource to be exploited until it’s exhausted and broken,” Greenpeace Arctic campaigner Sune Scheller said by email Thursday from the Arctic Sunset, a 160-foot Greenpeace icebreaker. Arctic waters, once mostly ignored, are attracting attention as summer sea ice has diminished, expanding opportunities for tourism, shipping and exploratory petroleum drilling. The National Snow and Ice Data Center on Tuesday said the Arctic hit its summer minimum last week with 1.7 million square miles of sea ice, down 240,000 square miles from 2014. It’s the fourth-lowest level on record for summer sea ice in September. Environmental groups say burning oil extracted from the Arctic Ocean seabed will accelerate climate warming and that industrialization will harm polar bears, walruses, whales and ice seals. Margaret Williams, Arctic program director for World Wildlife Fund, said Arctic awareness has increased as Americans experience extreme weather events. “Increasingly, Americans understand that the impacts of the extreme weather events — drought and floods and crazy winter storms that they’re experiencing in the Lower 48 — are related to the changes in the Arctic,” she said. The declaration of the polar bear as a threatened species in 2008 played a part, she said, as did worldwide photos of 35,000 walrus hauled out last September on northwest Alaska beach because of a lack of sea ice.
NEWS IN BRIEF
can Airlines planes destined for Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, O’Hare Airport in Chicago and Miami International Airport were held on the ground at other airports. Norton said six American Eagle flights in Chicago were cancelled and about 300 American and Eagle flights were delayed by an average of slightly more than one hour. Tracking service FlightAware.com reported nearly 600 delays on American and more than 200 on Eagle operator Envoy Air by late afternoon, but Norton said many were unrelated to the computer issue. The glitch prevented passengers at the three big hub airports from checking in for flights, and customers may have been unable to make reservations.

Amazon introduces $50 tablet computer to undercut Apple SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon is dangling a $50 tablet computer in its latest attempt to lure consumers who can’t afford or don’t want the more expensive Internet-connected devices made by Apple and other rivals. The 7-inch Fire tablet unveiled Thursday marks Amazon’s most ag-
gressive attempt yet to undercut Apple, which has been the market leader since its first iPad went on sale five years ago. The least expensive iPad Mini, which has an 8-inch screen, currently sells for $270. Amazon.com Inc. isn’t trying to persuade anyone that its cheap tablet matches the quality of its own sleeker, higher-priced Fire HD alternatives, let alone the top-selling iPad line. But the Seattle company is counting on the new tablet’s low price to encourage more people to buy a device that will hook them on watching video, reading books, playing games and shopping on a computer that’s easy to carry wherever they go.

Arctic issues reached an apex two weeks ago, she said, when President Barack Obama, on a trip to Alaska to draw attention climate warming, became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Arctic. Eroding Alaska villages, he noted, were once protected by sea ice. Critics of Arctic drilling, however, target the Obama administration for granting permits to Royal Dutch Shell PLC for exploration wells in the Chukchi Sea. Scheller said Greenpeace is in the Greenland Sea to investigate seismic air guns used by the petroleum industry to explore for oil. Shell, Chevron, Statoil and other companies hold leases in the region. “They’re basically firing very loud pulses at the seabed, trying to figure out where the oil deposits are located,” Scheller said. “These blasts are so loud that they can seriously injure whales and other ocean life. But right now they’re doing this without much public attention or scrutiny.” Greenpeace has been tracking seismic vessels off Greenland since mid-August. Skarsgard, McBrayer and Bichlbaum came on board in mid-September. Arctic drilling also has previously caught the attention of celebrity environmentalists. Actor Ted Danson, a board member of ocean advocacy group Oceana, was in Alaska in 2010 filming the Drew Barrymore movie “Everybody Loves Whales.” He testified at a federal hearing and called for a pause in drilling plans. Law and Order star Sam Waterston, another Oceana board member, recently narrated a two-minute video on the risk of Arctic drilling that the organization has posted on its website. Carolyn Prousky, head of public relations for Funny Or Die, said by email that the Arctic voyage comedy series will be short videos. She was not sure of the release date on the company’s platforms. Shell officials have said repeatedly they have followed every requirement imposed by federal regulators and that drilling can be done safely in Arctic waters. The company is working to complete an exploratory well 70 miles off the Alaska coast and has assembled a flotilla of nearly 30 vessels that could respond to a spill.

MUCH OF IT TRACED TO FARMS NATURE STUDY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Air pollution is killing 3.3 million people a year worldwide, according to a new study that includes this surprise: Farming plays a large role in smog and soot deaths in industrial nations. Scientists in Germany, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and Harvard University calculated the most detailed estimates yet of the toll of air pollution, looking at what caused it. The study also projects that if trends don’t change, the yearly death total will double to about 6.6 million a year by 2050. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, used health statistics and computer models. About three quarters of the deaths are from strokes and heart attacks, said lead author Jos Lelieveld at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany. The findings are similar to other less detailed pollution death estimates, outside experts said. “About 6 per cent of all global deaths each occur prematurely due to exposure to ambient air pollution. This number is higher than most experts would have expected, say, 10 years ago,� said Jason West, a University of North Carolina environmental sciences professor who wasn’t part of the study but praised it. Air pollution kills more than HIV and malaria combined, Lelieveld said. With nearly 1.4 million deaths a year, China has the most air pollution fatalities, followed by India with 645,000 and Pakistan with 110,000. The United States, with 54,905 deaths in 2010 from soot and smog, ranks seventh highest for air pollution deaths. What’s unusual is that the study says that agriculture caused 16,221 of those deaths, second only to 16,929 deaths blamed on power plants. In the U.S. Northeast, all of Europe, Russia, Japan and South Korea, agriculture is the No. 1 cause of the soot and smog deaths, according to the study. Worldwide, agriculture is the No. 2 cause with 664,100 deaths, behind the more than 1 million deaths from in-home heating and cooking done with wood and other biofuels in developing world. The problem with farms is ammonia from fertilizer and animal waste, Lelieveld said. That ammonia then combines with sulfates from coalfired power plants and nitrates from car exhaust to form the soot particles that are the big air pollution killers, he said. In London, for example, the pollution from traffic takes time to be converted into soot, and then it is mixed with ammonia and transported downwind to the next city, he said. “We were very surprised, but in the end it makes sense,� Lelieveld said. He said the scientists had assumed that traffic and power plants would be the biggest cause of deadly soot and smog. Agricultural emissions are becoming increasingly important but are not regulated, said Allen Robinson, an engineering professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who wasn’t part of the study but praised it. Ammonia air pollution from farms can be reduced “at relatively low costs,� Robinson said. “Maybe this will help bring more attention to the issue.� In the central United States, the main cause of soot and smog premature deaths is power plants in much of the West, it’s traffic emissions. Jason West and other outside scientists did dispute the study’s projections that deaths would double by 2050. That’s based on no change in air pollution. West and others said it’s likely that some places, such as China, will dramatically cut their air pollution by 2050. And Lelieveld said that if the world reduces a different air pollutant — carbon dioxide, the main gas causing global warming — soot and smog levels will be reduced as well, in a “win-win situation in both directions.�

H20 TECHNOLOGY SHOWS GREAT PROMISE
NASA pushes first flight of Orion spacecraft with crew to 2023
trical energy generated from one of nature’s smallest life forms coupled to one of its most dominant forces. Although these technological breakthroughs work in the lab and show great promise, much work needs to be done before we have a spore driven evaporation engine on every water front. But who knows, one day, these devices may be the norm.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s newest spacecraft, the Orion, won’t be flying astronauts as soon as anticipated. On Wednesday, top NASA officials said there isn’t much confidence in the original 2021 launch date. That’s because of the space agency’s history of running into unexpected problems in new programs, like Orion. Managers set 2023 as the new official launch date for the capsule, although they said they haven’t entirely given up yet on 2021. Orion is meant to expand human exploration in space, principally Mars. The 11-foot capsule will blast off atop a megarocket called SLS for Space Launch System.

sources of power in arid regions. Notably the Barton evaporation engine, invented in 2004 by an Australian PhD of the same name, has proven that by using the evaporation of water in ambient temperatures of 45C his engine can produce about 788 J/kg of dry air. However, dry ambient temperatures, generally by definition, means an inherent lack of water. Working on a different tack, research carried out by Ozgur Sahin a professor at Columbia University’s physics department has built small machines that utilize the power of evaporation. This “change of state” in waters phases, is harnessed using bacterial spores implanted on a flexible tape. Once wetted, the tape, with its colony of spores, is then exposed to dry air; the spoors then shrink and the tape contracts. If they are moistened again the built up tension is released and the tape returns to its original shape. Assembling these tape structures into shutters covering a source of humidity, they were able to observe it open and close in succession. When it was connected to a generator, the scientists where able to produce electricity and power a light. Configuring the tape modules into a “water wheel” they were able to drive a toy “car” when the bottom half was immersed in water, the top half of the wheel exposed to dry ambient air. Each machine an example of proof of concept, Sahin believes the technology can be scaled up to larger devices to generate electricity at any source of water in non-freezing latitudes. Elec-
The weather this last week has been delightful, if you are an aquatic animal or a species of water fowl, it’s unpleasant if you have a crop on the ground waiting to dry. Rain is what the natural world operates on, or at least rain in moderate amounts. Too much of anything is never good. If you have LORNE doubts about OJA this precept ask a Calgary ENERGY resident if he remembers the flood of 2013, or a B.C. resident this summer past, about to much heat. Rain is the product of a natural phenomenon, evaporation. We see it pour from our kettles, it drives our coal fired generators, it forms clouds in our previously clear blue skies, and on hot summer afternoons, when the humidity index is high, we see it form a haze across the landscape. It is a powerful natural force, hurricanes, or cyclones, depending on which hemisphere you refer to, are “news making” episodes of epic evaporation. For the most part however, evaporation, is taken for granted, so much so, that most never give it even minor contemplation. Engines using the power of evaporation have been proven as possible

10 dead, 20 wounded this month in conflicts over land between Nicaragua settlers, Indians MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Land conflicts between settlers and Miskito Indians on Nicaragua’s Atlantic coast have left at least nine people dead this month and 20 wounded. Indians have armed themselves and are seeking to expel the settlers, who are drawn in part by the area’s rich tropical hardwood forests. The latest death was that of Yatama Indian community leader Mario Lemans. Hundreds of Indians gathered Thursday in the coast’s main city, Puerto Cabezas, in preparation for his funeral. President Daniel Ortega has blamed illegal land sales for the wave of settlers. Police say the Indians have burned some settlers’ homes. The Indians say
Mexican inspectors recover 15,000 stolen sea turtle eggs MEXICO CITY — Mexican authorities say they’ve recovered and reburied about 15,000 sea turtle eggs that had been illegally excavated on the country’s southern Pacific coast. The environmental protection office said Thursday that the eggs were reburied, in hopes they will hatch. The massive egg theft was detected Wednesday by Mexican marines who were guarding a beach in the southern state of Oaxaca. The eggs were from olive ridley turtles that nest on the Mexican coast and are protected under the country’s law. Conviction for harvesting their eggs is punishable by prison terms of one to nine years.

police stationed in the area have shot at them. Nicaragua’s central government has granted Indian communities some autonomy and recognition of their territories. But tensions between the Miskitos and the leftist government date back to the 1980s, when the Indians resisted efforts to incorporate them more closely into the Sandinista system.

MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — Authorities say two more bodies have been found in homes burned by a California wildfire, bringing the death toll from the blazes in the northern part of the state to five. The Lake County Sheriff’s office says official identifications have yet to be made, but they are presumed to be the bodies of Bruce Beven Burns and former San Jose Mercury News police reporter, Leonard Neft, 69. Burns age was not released. Neft last spoke with his family Saturday evening. Authorities earlier found his burned-out car on the route he would have used to escape. His daughter Joselyn Neft said his wife, Adela Neft, repeatedly called him Saturday to tell him to leave the house, but he told her he didn’t think the fire was coming toward him. His house was in the same area where Barbara McWilliams, 72, was found dead. She told her caretaker she didn’t want to leave her home near Middletown and would be fine.
Cadaver dogs found the bodies Tuesday night, Brooks said. Two more people remain missing. KRON reports a man named Edwin Null is one of the missing. The name of the other person was not released. About 275 kilometres southeast, in a separate wildfire in the Sierra Nevada foothills, two bodies were found inside burned-out homes, Calaveras County coroner Kevin Raggio said. One of the victims was identified as Mark McCloud, 65, who was found inside his residence Tuesday. Raggio wouldn’t release the name of the second victim found in another home, because the family has not been notified. The tragedy comes as firefighters gained ground on the massive blazes thanks to cooler weather and some rain on Wednesday. The fire in Lake County has charred 300 sq. kilometres and was 35 per cent contained Thursday. An estimated 800 homes and hundreds of other structures have burned. The fire in Amador and Calaveras counties has burned 300 sq. kilometres. It was 49 per cent contained Thursday after destroying 252 homes.

Kors shows earthy elegance for spring NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
KANYE RETURNS TO FASHION WEEK Kanye West’s presentation united Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Lorde and Kim Kardashian — holding baby North West — in the front row. West’s Yeezy Season 2
creative foundation? Karan stepped down in June. “ F u n n y enough, we entitled this season Missing Pieces, knowing that it’s a journey. … We still don’t really know this girl altogether. We’re still putting the pieces together,” Chow said. “We’re still trying to find ourselves, but we know that it’s a long jourPhoto by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ney and we left ourselves The Michael Kors Spring 2016 collection is modeled during Fashion Week in New York, enough leverage this week. to have some fun in the future.” The two chose the location to honour the site and the city where they grew up, and where Karan made her name. And they chose to tinker with tailoring as a nod to DKNY’s DNA, using pieces of photos taken by Peter Lindbergh in a 1990s ad campaign for the brand. One black-and-white coat included part of the face of Rosemary McGrotha in sunglasses from a DKNY video of the same era. The designers said their DKNY girl will remain a New Yorker. She’ll be determined and focused and comfortable in the rest of the world as well as the two hope to foster a younger customer base. “She wants to be taken seriously,” Osborne said, “And she wants her clothes to reflect that without taking herself too seriously.” 7122516I30
Elegance, the Michael Kors way for spring, doesn’t mean kid gloves, boning and tight dresses. The designer had a more “earthy elegance” on his mind for the feminine Michael Kors Collection — a more creative, artistic energy like Georgia O’Keeffe and Elsa Peretti, the Italian model turned jewelry designer. He sewed fluttery petaled flowers on dresses and offered sheer kicky pleats on dresses in classic red, blue, black and white. Wide black leather belts and grommets along skirts and hems provided strength. “I wanted to have that balance of the two things, think about things that were in fact very soft and romantic and feminine, but take them down-to-earth and make them work in a modern way,” Kors said in an interview. “It’s all about things that move with the wind, and juxtapose all of that with sort of borrowed from the boys kind of tailoring that feels easy.” Hence his ruffles, slits and slashes to catch the breeze. It hasn’t been an easy year for the lovable Kors. His competition is amped up, discounting is deep and his stock was down. How is he holding up? “I’m an optimistic guy, you know? I think that’s how I approach fashion. I still believe that when people put the right thing on it changes them,” Kors said. “It changes your spirit, it changes your step. I’ve seen a woman try on a dress and suddenly stand up straight.” He acknowledges fashion is fast and furious now and customers are shopping lots of different ways. “I think we’re all adjusting to the fact that it is a new world,” Kors said. Among his front row guests were Naomi Watts and Olivia Wilde. And Kendall Jenner was among his walkers. “I always love the drama in the front row in the shows and seeing how they’re presenting their new ideas. It’s fun,” Watts said. Wilde grabbed one of the looks bound for the runway to wear herself, a loose red dress that sparkled and was outfitted with a white Peter Pan collar. It’s just the thing for a working mom, she said. She gave birth to her first child, Otis, in April. “I find that I like to look put together but I need to be able to move around and function and I can’t be kind of squeezing into something that’s not going to work, you know, running on cobblestones and jumping into the subway,” she said. “So I feel like his looks are always keeping women in mind — working women in mind, professional women who are powerful and sexy,” Wilde added. Sitting in the front row, Wilde said, is always fun, but a little stressful. “I just focus the whole time on not tripping the models,” she said. “Don’t trip them! Don’t trip them! You know, it’s a lot like sitting courtside at a basketball game, you just can’t believe how tall they are.”
collection was launched in four sets: First a woman entered the stage wearing tan, and yelled, “First row, fall in. Second row, fall in.” Others models followed, sporting the same colour and blond ponytails. The clothes ranged from loose jackets to high-waisted pants to tank tops. The leader wore a hoodie. Kim Kardashian and North West matched the models with their own tan ensembles. The next set, which also featured a model yelling orders, featured army green, followed by deeper brown and then black. Most of the pants on the men were loose. There were tighter items on the women, including leggings and bathing suits. And some of the models wore baseball caps that covered their eyes. Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Courtney Love, Common, Michael Strahan, Seth Meyers and former Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley watched from the front row while Jaden Smith, R&B singer Miguel and rapper Pusha T watched from the second row. All the models entered during the finale as a song blasted in the background. One of the models even started smoking. West appeared, earning loud applause as he walked in between four rows of models. Earlier this year, when West debuted his Yeezy Boost shoe line for Adidas during Fashion Week, Beyonce, Jay Z, Rihanna and Diddy sat in the front show. At that show, North West made headlines when she cried, but the 2-year-old was calm and relaxed for most of West’s presentation Wednesday: As she sat on her mother’s lap, she said “Mommy” a few times and licked a lollipop.

NEW DESIGN DUO DEBUT FOR DKNY Donna Karan turned out to support Public School’s Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow, the new creative directors of her namesake DKNY, as they debuted their first collection for the brand since her departure from the company she founded 31 years ago. There were no radical leaps in style as models made their way down a long, 250-foot runway set up under a ceiling of exposed industrial pipes in a gleaming white underpass at the PATH train station at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The designers, with New York roots as strong as Karan’s, honoured the hallowed location in deconstructed cityscapes on some outfits, and they held tight to the DKNY look in playful pinstripes in asymmetrical wool wrap dresses, jackets and coats, a familiar play on classic tailored suiting. So what did Karan think of the collection done in grey, white and black, with a touch of blue? “She liked it. She was happy,” Chow said backstage after the show. Osborne added: “She’s been so supportive, you know, throughout the process. It means a lot to us for her to be present and supportive like that. It’s been amazing. … Hopefully it’s in good hands and we’ll take care of it.” This is a big moment for Osborne and Chow. They’ve always had Karan’s blessing, but where do their voices join with the brand’s

D6 Wife’s ex abusing key privileges
Dear Annie: My wife gave her ex (her son’s father) a key to our home without telling me. I found out when I got home and he was sitting in our living room surfing the Web on my laptop. My wife says she gave him the key so he can let himself in on the three nights a month he’s scheduled to pick up their son for dinner as part of the custody agreement. But he has been making a lot of unscheduled stops at our house — to use the bathroom, have a snack, etc. I told my wife I don’t like this, but KATHY MITCHELL & she said, “Don’t be selfish. It’s MARCY SUGAR my home, too!” ANNIE’S MAILBOX I spoke to this man politely and told him I don’t want him letting himself in, but he replied, “She says I can come over whenever I like.” Am I being unreasonable about this arrangement? I thought married people are supposed to agree on things like this. It’s almost as though I have to share my home

with this man, and he’s not even a helpful guest. He’ll eat a generous amount of food out of the fridge and leave dirty dishes in the sink. Last week, he bought his son a videogame console and violent videogames, which my wife and I had previously agreed would not be allowed in our home. Father and son will spend time playing games in his room when the boy is supposed to be doing his homework, sometimes late at night. I know the guy needs time with his kid, but there’s no reason why he can’t take the boy out to eat, to a movie or to a museum. The ex never made much effort to see his son until we married. This is my first marriage, and I’ve never had any kids of my own, so I’m not entirely sure how to handle it. But I teach high school, and I’ve seen one long sad parade of kids whose parents don’t maintain authority. So, Annie, what is the verdict? Should he have a key or not? — The Husband Dear Husband: Our vote is “not,” especially since he abuses the privilege. It may be her house, but it’s also yours. And while it’s nice to be welcoming to her son’s father, he should not have the run of your home, dropping in unexpectedly and keeping his son up all hours. This is not responsible parenting. It is
indulgence. Dad needs to be as diligent a parent as Mom. He cannot be a “fun dad” and do things Mom would not otherwise allow. This does a disservice to the child. Please ask your wife to get into family counseling with you to work on this. Also look into the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info). Dear Annie: This is for “Confused Family Member,” whose niece had a large wedding months after a civil ceremony. My daughter also married civilly two weeks prior to big wedding bash for legal reasons. Her husband was being deployed within the month and she needed power of attorney in order to purchase their new home and do other things. We did not announce it, so as not to confuse anyone. And she kept her maiden name. She is also in the service, and it saved a lot of paperwork. — Tootles Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

TURTLE RESCUE
BRIEF L.A.’s cultural status gets a boost with The Broad, the city’s new contemporary art museum LOS ANGELES — Billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad gives his latest gift to Los Angeles when a $140 million museum built to hold some of the greatest pop-art works ever created opens in the city’s burgeoning downtown cultural centre. Located across the street from the city’s Museum of Contemporary Art and next door to its Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Broad contains some 2,000 pieces from its founder’s personal collection. Arranged chronologically on three floors, the sculptures, paintings and other works range from the most famous creations of early pop-art pioneers like Andy Warhol to the more recent endeavours of young artists like Japan’s muralist Takashi Murakami.

People carry Pawley, one of two loggerhead sea turtles, during a sea turtle release on Wednesday in Isle of Palms, S.C. The South Carolina Aquarium released four rehabilitated sea turtles into the Atlantic. But the release at the Isle of Palms County Park is a bit unusual because the turtles are from three species.
Instead, be patient and wait.
HOROSCOPES sial subjects until a more suitable time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Mercury is reversing through your social networking zone so double-check all posts, tweets and emails before you press send. It will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mercury is reversing through your money zone, so you need to get serious about your financial situation. If you don’t understand all the facts and figures, then find someone who does. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): With Mercury reversing through your sign, things won’t go according to plan. So improvisation and patience are needed between now and Oct. 9, when Mercury goes direct again. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpios can be stubborn souls but you need to be flexible, as others won’t behave in rational and predictable ways that you can clearly fathom. Strive to keep the lines of communication open. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A relationship with a friend or acquaintance is about to go through a tricky patch, as Mercury confuses communication and heightens sensitivities. A dash of diplomacy will see you through. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Strive to make changes at work that allow you more freedom to express your Capricorn creativity. But tread carefully with a colleague or acquaintance who is feeling frustrated. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be careful how you pass on information over the next three weeks, as Mercury is retrograde. If you are vague, then you’ll be misunderstood. A cautious approach is the clever way to go. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can, avoid signing contracts between now and Oct. 9, as Mercury reverses through your joint finances and “money-from-others” zone.

Friday, Sept. 18 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Lance Armstrong, 43; Jada Pinkett Smith, 43; James Marsden, 41 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Communication planet Mercury is in retrograde motion until October 9. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The coming year is the time to be more social, as you work on consolidating friendships within your local community. ARIES (March 21-April 19): JOANNE MADELINE Expect conversation overload as MOORE Mercury reverses through your relationship zone, until October 9. SUN SIGNS Make sure you choose your words wisely Rams, otherwise you’ll just upset loved ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): With Mercury now retrograde, avoid signing contracts and buying big ticket items — like a computer or car — until after Oct. 9. Plus get any health problems checked as soon as possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Retrograde Mercury is confusing communication — especially with friends. But, if you are clear and concise with loved ones, then you can still get your message across loud and clear. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Prepare for some domestic dramas and family fiascos, as Mercury reverses through your home zone for three weeks. So avoid bringing up controver-
Oregon’s Josephine County won’t enforce a ban on genetically modified crops until a related lawsuit is resolved. The Daily Courier newspaper reports that county voters passed a GMO ban in May 2014 and the county originally told farmers growing GMO crops to provide a phase-out plan by Sept. 4. County Legal Counsel Wally Hicks says the Board of Commissioners decided to suspend that deadline until a court rules on a lawsuit brought against the county by Robert A. White Jr. and Shelly White, who grew GMO sugar beets.
