‘Homophobic, transphobic’ sign draws fire BUSINESS OWNER APOLOGIZES FOR MISTAKE BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF

An armed RCMP officer patrols a residential property at 52 St. and 42 Ave. in Red Deer Thursday afternoon. A shooting occurred in the Michener Hill area neighborhood Thursday.

Man shot in arm in Michener Hill POLICE SEEK SHOOTER BY ADVOCATE STAFF A 29-year-old man walking in the Michener Hill area was shot in the shoulder on Thursday afternoon and RCMP are still searching for the shooter. Patrol cars swarmed the area around 41 Ave. and 51A St. about 2:20 p.m. after getting the gun call. The wounded man was treated on scene by Emergency Medical Services before being taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police officers immediately combed the area, but no suspect was located. An officer armed with an assault rifle was among those who could be seen scouring the neighbourhood. Other officers were interviewing residents in the area.

“At this point in the investigation, RCMP believe the shooting was a targeted event and that the public is not in any danger,” said police. RCMP are looking for a newer-model white Ford F-150 pickup truck in connection with the shooting. 51A St. between 41 and 42 Avenues was closed off while the investigation continued on Thursday afternoon. Several officers could be seen going through a backpack at the side of 51A St. about 3 p.m. “They are still looking for witnesses and if there were surveillance cameras in the neighbourhood that can help police to gather what happened,” said an RCMP spokesperson later in the afternoon. RCMP are seeking anyone who saw anything at the time of the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP at 403-343-5575 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com

A local business owner is sorry after his “homophobic and transphobic” billboard drew backlash from social media on Thursday. The large sign outside of Queen’s Diner in the Burnt Lake Industrial area read, “It’s Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve! Pick a washroom.” “I do apologize to the people I offended by that sign,” said owner Scott Shaw. “It wasn’t my intent to belittle anybody and to come across as a homophobic person.” Pictures of the sign made its rounds through social media on Thursday, forcing Shaw to delete the diner’s social media accounts. Shaw said the message was more about him not being able to put a third bathroom in his restaurant and letting people choose between the men or women’s facility. Serge Gingras, chair for the Central Alberta Pride Society, said these types of things are discouraging especially with all the steps forward taken in the community. “Often people make those kinds of statements without even knowing what they are talking about. When I first read the sign my first reaction was this is homophobia and transphobia combined together in one,” said Gingras. Shaw said he now understands the seriousness of the situation and said he never meant to hurt anybody. He admits the Adam and Eve reference was poorly used. “I realize now it’s a sensitive topic. These are types of things that need to be approached in a more professional manner. I made a mistake. I know this isn’t a light hearted manner and I take 100 per cent responsibility,” said Shaw.

But the United Way can help with the assistance of dollars from Central Albertans. “United Way needs us more than ever and the United Way is best equipped to have the biggest impact on the most people in Central Alberta now who need it most,” said Curtis to a crowd of about 500 people at the United Way’s luncheon at Sheraton Red Deer Hotel on Thursday to kick off the 51st campaign. He said there are still companies that continue to thrive and prosper in hard times and some of them were at the luncheon because they do care. See UNITED on Page A7

Run, don’t walk to keep fit SCHOOL PROGRAM ENCOURAGES KIDS TO STAY ACTIVE BY JONATHAN GUIGNARD ADVOCATE STAFF Keeping students interested in school can sometimes be challenging, but at least one Red Deer school has implemented a program to keep kids active and excited. École Barrie Wilson Elementary School has run the Don’t Walk in the Hallway program over the last two years. The program promotes active hallway transport to increase physical activity. “We know these days kids aren’t as active as they could be and need to be. We are always looking for ways to increase activity in our school environment. It’s the concept of turning a passive environment into an active one,” said Principal Chris Good. Now in its third year, the change is noticeably different. “We have seen some really positive changes in the kids. The kids love it, it’s a fun way to go down the hallway and it reduces discipline in the hallways,” said Good. The concern about implementing the program was the possibility it would create chaos among students outside of the classroom. However, Good feels it has the done the complete opposite. “It makes the hallways more orderly

because the kids are excited and all want to go through those patterns on the floor. They’ll line up and quickly and quietly hop, skip and jump as they go through the hallways,” said Good. The program has been something that has affected the entire school. ‘It’s created a positive atmosphere. Kids like it because they’re more active and teachers like it because it makes the kids happier. We are always trying to create a positive school culture and this is one of things that help with that,” said Good. The response from the parents have been really positive. “I think the parents see it as a way to keep their kids actively engaged at school and it’s another way to get kids excited about coming to school,” said Good. Don’t Walk in the Hallway is an initiative that is part of the Twenty-first Century Spaces for 21st Century Learners put on by Ever Active Schools and supported by the Alberta Government. Fairview Elementary along with Mountview Elementary may be the next schools in the district to adopt the program. Don’t Sit Still in Class is another program Good would like to implement in his school at some point, which focuses on finding ways to promote standing. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate. com For more information, visit www. reddeer.ca/rcmp or call 403-406-2341.

Calgary man charged after police chase

BRIEFS Victims services looking for volunteers Volunteers are needed for the RCMP’s Victim Service Unit. A volunteer information event is slated for Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the downtown Red Deer RCMP detachment (4602 51 Ave.) Const. Holly Erb, Victim Services Coordinator for the Red Deer RCMP, is looking for people who are dedicated to helping people. “It takes a special person to work with victims of crime or of tragic events,” says Erb.“It’s a great fit for those who have a knack for caring and want to make a difference in the lives of their fellow Red Deerians.” The unit has roughly 20 volunteers on board right now. Another 10 or so are needed. The hour-long event includes a presentation, a question and answer session and a chance to talk with current staff and volunteers. Training will be provided for the job. “If you volunteer with Victim Services, you’ll be trained to offer professional, compassionate and confidential services to victims of crime and trauma,” says Erb. “Advocates work closely with RCMP and provide an essential service to the community.”

A suspect in a Ponoka break and enter was arrested early Wednesday after allegedly leading police on a chase up Hwy 2A. Ponoka RCMP were responding to a burglary alarm at a local business about 2:40 a.m. when officers spotted a suspicious white pickup speeding north on Hwy 2A. When the police cruiser’s emergency lights were activated the truck sped off. RCMP from Maskwacis and Wetaskiwin joined the chase and deployed spike belts. Several of the fleeing trucks tires were flattened before it pulled over at Hwy 13 and Hwy 2A. A suspect fled on foot and was arrested by pursuing police after a brief struggle. Evidence was found linking the suspect to the break and enter. A 38-year-old Calgary man is facing charges of resisting a police officer, fleeing police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained crime and breaking and entering a business.

Police seek failed car-jacking suspect Blackfalds RCMP are looking for a suspect who tried to steal a vehicle using a firearm near Range Road 273 and Hwy 42 on Wednesday afternoon.

École Barrie Wilson Elementary School grade three students Joe Lipetak is followed by classmates Leah Kilpatrick, Ireland Rammenger, Scarlett Makarenko and Tyson Dezutter as they demonstrate how they are not supposed to walk down the school hallways. For the third year at the school students at the school have been encouraged to move in creative ways when they go from class to class. Police responded to the attempted vehicle robbery call at a rural property on Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses say the man flashed what they believed to be a firearm when confronted by the property owners. Police believe the suspect caught a ride from the scene. The man is described as 1.8 metres (six feet), Caucasian, skinny, with black hair, scruffy facial hair and was wearing camouflage pants. The investigation is ongoing. Police advise citizens to not approach the man but to call the police instead. If you have information about this incident, please call the Blackfalds RCMP at 403-885-3300 or local police.

A DECADE OF LENDING A HELPING HAND

McCann family relieved BUT STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — The son of an Alberta couple who disappeared while driving to a camping trip with family more than six years ago said Thursday that a murder verdict in their deaths is a huge relief to the family. But while the agonizing wait for the judge’s decision is over, questions about how Lyle and Marie McCann died remain. “We don’t know exactly what happened on that afternoon … and probably never will,” Bret McCann said outside court after Travis Vader was found guilty of second-degree murder. “The convicted person will need to talk and we’re not optimistic that will happen.” He recalled promising years ago that the family would never stop looking for the McCanns, but on Thursday he admitted the search was over. “I have to stand down. I’m sorry, mum and dad, I can do no more. I hope that some day, somehow you will be found. I take joy in the legacy you have left behind. “Our memory of you will last forever.” Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas said there was no reasonable doubt that Vader killed the McCanns during a robbery, but there was nothing to suggest he planned to do so. Thomas said Vader was a desperate

drug dealer who was addicted to meth and had no money or food when he crossed paths with the couple west of Edmonton on July 3, 2010. “I cannot conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Vader killed the McCanns in a planned and deliberate manner,” Thomas said in a decision that was broadcast live from court. “The killing of the McCanns was not a first-degree murder. It is therefore a second-degree murder.” Vader, dressed in a suit and white shirt, clenched his hands together when the verdict was read and briefly glanced at his lawyer, Brian Beresh. Members of the McCann family gasped. Bret McCann sat in the front row of the courtroom between his daughter, who put her arm around her dad, and his wife Mary-Ann, who had her head on his shoulder. When the judge left the courtroom, McCann beamed a big smile as his family and friends hugged each other and cried. Thomas also rejected a Crown scenario in which Vader killed one of the McCanns during the robbery and then killed the other to eliminate a witness. The justice said there were other possibilities as to how the couple died. The conviction carries an automatic life sentence, but a sentencing hearing still needs to be held to determine Vader’s parole eligibility. Thomas said he would set a date for that hearing on Oct. 3.

Legal experts question Vader verdict BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — At least one legal scholar says a judicial oversight may invalidate the verdict that found an Alberta man guilty of second-degree murder. Travis Vader was convicted Thursday in the deaths of seniors Lyle and Marie McCann, a case that bedevilled police, haunted the victim’s family and fascinated the public since the couple’s burned-out RV was found in 2010. But Peter Sankoff, a University of Alberta law professor who specializes in legal issues in criminal trials, said Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas used an invalid section of the Criminal Code in his decision. “I’m pretty confident that the ruling can’t stand,” Sankoff said. He noted that Thomas used Section 230 of the Criminal Code in his written judgment convicting Vader. Thomas referred explicitly to that section in finding Vader guilty of second-degree murder. “When (Thomas) relies on Section 230 to convict, he can’t do that. Section 230 doesn’t exist.” The section allows for a murder verdict if a wrongful death occurs during the commission of another crime, such as robbery. However, Section 230 was found unconstitutional in 1990 by the Supreme Court. The revised definition of murder states a killing

must be intended in order to be murder, which the Crown was unable to prove against Vader. “The Supreme Court’s been very clear,” said Sankoff. “You must have an intention to cause death to be guilty of murder. There’s no finding that Vader ever intended to cause death.” Thomas allowed a camera into his court for his verdict, a first for Alberta. Livestream broadcasts of his judgment allowed Sankoff and other legal experts to monitor the argument in real time. Although Section 230 has not been in force for 26 years, it has never been repealed and still remains in the Criminal Code. Sankoff suggests Thomas erred. “It’s very easy to get things wrong, because, you know, you forget. (The section) is sitting there.” Sankoff said the error leaves the verdict wide open to appeal — something Vader’s lawyer has already said he intends to do. “If they bring an appeal on this, I think it’s a slam dunk.” Defence lawyer Brian Beresh said he noticed the issue as well. “We’re most disappointed with that, and it’s likely that we will file a notice of appeal tomorrow on that basis,” he said. “It may be that the defence will ask for a mistrial.” Vader could still be convicted of manslaughter. The situation illustrates a problem legal

scholars often identify to politicians, Sankoff said. Old, antiquated laws are rarely repealed and sit there on the books. “There are anywhere from 30 to 50 crimes that, if you open up the Criminal Code, are still there. Parliament never gets around to repealing those, even though we ask them to.”

Inquiry needed into criminal justice system RICK ZEMANEK OPINION Something went horribly wrong in a Saskatoon courtroom on Sept. 7 when a 17-year-old young offender, so stoned he was frothing at the mouth, was allowed freedom by a judge despite pleas from his mother to put him in jail to dry out. Not long after, a 70-year-old senior was killed instantly in a head-on crash involving a car allegedly driven by the teen, who was incoherent and could hardly stand on his own when he left the courthouse. The judge, who told the mother to “shush” when she asked her son to be placed in custody, saw how “ripped” the teen was. The Crown saw it, too. And it was obvious to the rest of the courtroom. He was so blitzed in court on unrelated charges of violating probation orders, the judge adjourned the case to a later date because the teen was incapable of common sense. The only

person making sense was the mother telling the court her child was in no condition to leave the room – only to be told by the judge to keep quiet. Could the death of this senior, who was driving a fixed-up Volkswagen Beetle in memory of his wife during a classic car show, been averted? That’s an emphatic “yes”. The Canadian criminal justice system failed this senior. It failed the deceased’s family. It failed the kid’s mother. It failed the teen. And it failed all of us who look up to the courts to be prudent in protecting the innocent. Simply put, the court was negligent. “My wife was begging to the judge and he was shushing her,” said the stepfather of the teen. “Why would the judge shush her? It was just obvious. He (the teen) was slurring with white foam coming out of his mouth. And then he’s swearing out of the courtroom.” It was a circus, to say the least. The youth, who turned 18 three days after the crash, was initially in court on Sept. 7 for allegedly violating his probation terms imposed May 29 on charges related to violence and violating other probation terms. It’s a complicated case of a mixed-up teen addicted to cocaine.

“My son is a drug addict,” the mother told CBC. She tried convincing her son to attend a rehab program. “I couldn’t force him to go, so I reached out to the authorities, to his probation officer” to no avail. Her pleas to the judge to place him in jail fell on deaf ears. “They adjourned the court because he was too high, because they couldn’t deal with it, but they let him walk – he was stumbling,” said the mother, shocked the judge ignored her desperate cry for help. “All these people are leaving and I’m thinking, ‘Am I the only freaking person in this courtroom who cares’?” The mother was hoping her son would be arrested in the courtroom because using drugs would have violated the conditions of his probation. To add insult to injury, court authorities took the mother aside “… and they asked me ‘is your son high’?” (High? What gave it away?) Even the judge asked if the teen was stoned. “He is so high … He was slurring. He was foaming at the mouth. He was slobbering,” said the mother. Not long after the teen staggered out of court, Saskatoon police received two reports of a vehicle being driven erratically, including a hit and run and

a car being driven over a curb. A report of a head-on crash followed and a 70-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. Ironically, the teen, while recovering in hospital from minor injuries after the crash, was charged with breaching his probation. The mother was rightfully outraged. “After a man’s life was lost and a head-collision, and other lives could have been lost, they breached him after that,” she told CBC. “They didn’t breach him in the court house, they didn’t breach him at all, they didn’t try to get him in detox like I wanted.” This fatality demands an inquiry to reassure the public it can trust our Canadian criminal justice system. For the record, charges in relation to the crash are being considered. The identities of the now young adult and his family are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He is now being held in custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 20. Rick Zemanek is a former Red Deer Advocate editor.

Mulroney’s unhelpful advice CHANTAL HÉBERT OPINION Once in a blue moon, or maybe a bit more often than that, someone who should know better offers the prime minister of the day some strikingly flawed advice. Such is the case of Brian Mulroney’s recommendation that Justin Trudeau personally take charge of the controversial Energy East pipeline file. In a speech in Calgary this week, the former Tory prime minister offered his successful negotiation of a watershed free-trade agreement with the United States in the late 1980s as the template Trudeau should borrow to advance Trans-Canada’s pipeline plan. “What we now need for an exceptional, cohesive effort to make the most of our resource base is a similarly clear commitment from the top, led by the prime minister, with a unique, high-quality organizational structure drawing expertise from across Canada, and a genuine partnership that will spearhead expansion of our resources, expedite infrastructure construction RED DEER

and bolster a broader diversification of our resources,” the former prime minister told his Alberta audience. It should be said at the outset that this is advice offered in good faith. At a time when most were still sneering at the notion that Trudeau could become prime minister, Mulroney was talking up his potential. As opposed to other prominent Energy East backers – such as former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who was at one point on contract as a consultant to TransCanada – Mulroney has no financial connection to the project. (He does toil in a law firm that, like its competition, is always on the lookout for more energy industry clients.) Mulroney is not the first to call on Trudeau to jump in front of the pipeline parade and, given the travails of the National Energy Board in dealing with Energy East, he will not be the last. On Friday, the three-member NEB panel tasked with vetting the plan to link the oilsands to the Atlantic coast belatedly recused itself amidst enduring questions as to its independence.

The next panel will be made up of members hand-picked by the Trudeau government rather than legacy Conservative appointees. That should go some way to restore credibility to the process. Further down the road, it would make a pro-Energy East NEB recommendation harder for Trudeau to dismiss. But for pipeline proponents, the latest developments also offer an opportunity to once again try to prod Trudeau himself into action. Mulroney, for one, should know better than to flog that particular horse. Trudeau does have an enviable amount of political capital. But then, so did former Quebec premier Lucien Bouchard when he took on the role of chief lobbyist for the shale gas industry in Quebec a few years ago. Not only did Bouchard fail to advance the argument, he also left a lot of his credibility on the battlefield. And then, the dynamics of a topdown prime ministerial effort to rally support for a pipeline in the name of nation-building would be more akin to the ill-fated constitutional rounds that took place on Mulroney’s watch than to the trade negotiations that led to the FTA and NAFTA. If there is one former prime minister who should know the limits of the persuasive powers of a top-down pol-

icy consensus, it should be Mulroney. He and his government succeeded twice in securing unanimous provincial support for two successive constitutional accords. Within a year of the negotiation of the Meech Lake accord in 1987, premiers of a different constitutional persuasion had replaced Mulroney’s allies in New Brunswick and Manitoba. And no amount of establishment support from virtually every quarter of Canadian society could salvage the subsequent Charlottetown accord from the fury of voters. Back when Mulroney and the premiers set out to proactively redress Quebec constitutional grievances, the sovereignty movement was at a low ebb. These days, it is similarly at a loss for an issue with enough popular traction to restore its momentum. Anyone who is close to the Quebec scene can testify that a show of federal force on Energy East could be the answer to the sovereigntist prayers for optimal conditions for a return to power of a majority Parti Québécois government and – perhaps in time – another shot at referendum.

James granted full parole More Alberta BY THE CANADIAN PRESS LAVAL, Que. — Convicted sex offender Graham James, the disgraced former junior hockey coach who abused players under his charge, was granted full parole Thursday. The decision was handed down by the Parole Board of Canada following a hearing at a federal penitentiary in Laval, north of Montreal. James, 64, is serving a federal sentence for sexually assaulting players he coached in the late 1980s and early ’90s with the Swift Current Broncos of the Western Hockey League. James, who works in technology sales in Montreal, was granted day parole in January and the board members agreed Thursday he’s shown progress over the past months, presents a low risk to reoffend and is ready to move to the next phase of his rehabilitation. News of the decision was swiftly denounced by some of James’ victims. Ex-NHL star Theoren Fleury repeated in a statement that “Canada is the Disneyland for pedophiles” as he prepared to speak to high school students in Vernon, B.C. “With this judgment we are now, as always, to continue to focus on the path of healing and forgiveness,” Fleury said. “If you are looking for closure from the justice system, this in many cases will never happen.” Victims’ rights advocate Sheldon Kennedy, another of James’ victims and a former NHLer, tweeted: “My thoughts are with his victims that struggle every day … and all victims.”

judges under review

Fleury, Kennedy and Fleury’s cousin, Todd Holt, are among the six former players James has been convicted of sexually assaulting hundreds of times. On Thursday, James said there were likely around 20 victims, but that most were “one-time touching” and that anyone he’d spent a lot of time with had come forward. Graham James The parole board keyed in on the impact his crimes had on his victims. Board member Marc Gold read some of the victim statements: one said James took away his “soul and dignity,” while another said the assaults left him a “broken and battered” man. Another was ready to commit suicide. James told the hearing he didn’t see himself as a sexual predator at the time and that “rational thinking went by the wayside.” He said he was homosexual at a time when he claims it wasn’t acceptable and his victims bore the brunt of his inability to have a healthy sexual life. James described his acts as “horrific.” “I feel ashamed, I feel that I failed the people for whom I had the greatest responsibility and to whom I was closest,” James said. “It was a great failure in my life that I let them down.” Under full parole, James will now serve the remainder of his sentence in the community. There are several conditions attached that forbid James from being in a position of trust with minors and he cannot communicate with his victims or their families. The conditions will remain in place until his seven-year sentence expires in 2019.

HANDLING OF SEX ASSAULT CASES SCRUTINIZED BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — Reviews are underway into how two Alberta provincial judges handled recent sexual assault cases but their conduct is being dissected behind closed doors. One case centres on Justice Pat McIlhargey’s June 2015 acquittal of a 16-year-old boy accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a park. Last month, in ordering a new trial, a Court of Queen’s Bench judge said McIlhargey allowed “unexplained myths and stereotypes to enter his assessment of the complainant’s credibility.” In his decision, McIlhargey said the complainant didn’t scream, run for help, confide in friends or family or show any change in her demeanour. In the second case, Judge Michael Savaryn acquitted a 15-year-old boy of allegations that he grabbed the breasts and buttocks of a girl, also 15, in a high school hallway and tried to kiss her. In his decision, Savaryn said the complainant did not do enough to communicate that the boy’s advances made her uncomfortable. In July, the acquittal was overturned by a higher court judge. The boy was convicted and awaits sentencing. Ron Hewitt, executive director of the Provincial Court of Alberta, said Thursday that Chief Judge Terrence Matchett is reviewing how the judges handled the cases, but he declined to elaborate. The reviews come after a high-profile disciplinary hearing for Robin Camp, a former Alberta provincial court judge, who asked a sex assault complainant why she didn’t keep her knees together. Camp also referred to the woman as “the accused” during the trial, a mistake he repeated at the Canadian Judicial Council hearing before quickly correcting himself. Though Camp was a provincial judge when he acquitted the man, he has since been appointed to the federal bench, which means he was subject to a disciplinary inquiry. A five-member panel convened by the council held five days of public hearings at a downtown Calgary hotel, and heard from the complainant, witnesses and Camp. The panel is to report to the council, which will then make a recommendation to the federal justice minister as to whether Camp is fit to keep his job.

Email says Kenney all in on Alberta PCs even if merger fails BY THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON — An Internal email from one of Jason Kenney’s organizers says the Calgary MP is wedded to Alberta’s Progressive Conservatives even if they reject the cornerstone of his leadership platform — a merger with the Opposition Wildrose party. An email sent Wednesday to some former and current Tory members of the legislature from an account belonging to David Dorward states: “Jason is committed to the PC party. If the members reject unification, so be it, he will lead (the party) into the 2019 election.” Dorward’s email also says that if Kenney loses the party leadership vote — set for March 18 — he will still run for a seat in the legislature under the PC banner. Dorward, a former Edmonton PC legislature member, declined comment when contacted Thursday. “I don’t speak for the campaign, so you should contact them,” he wrote in an email. Kenney’s communications team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Dorward, in the email, said the statements were in response to questions posed by former PC MLA Thomas Lukaszuk. In an interview, Lukaszuk said he posed the questions to get clarification on Kenney’s goals and aims. He noted that Jim Prentice, another one-time federal politician, came back in 2014 to renew the party, but quit politics altogether on the night the PCs fell to Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP in the 2015 election. “To me, it’s very presumptive and entitled for one to assume that he is going to win the leadership of the PC party, and then also get the support to merge the two parties,” said Lukaszuk. “If it doesn’t happen, I want to know if he (Kenney) is committed to the province of Alberta. “We know, for example, the moment Prentice lost he walked off the stage and we never saw him again.” Lukaszuk ran against Prentice for the party leadership in 2014. He wouldn’t say if he will launch a leadership bid this time around, but said he is weighing options on “re-engaging” in politics. Lukaszuk lost his Edmonton seat in the last election. Kenney announced in early July that he will seek to become the next leader on a mandate to

dissolve the party in a merger with the fellow centre-right Wildrose. Under his plan, the two parties would become a new entity aimed at uniting conservatives and defeating Notley’s NDP. Kenney has outlined a timetable for the merger, but has stressed the idea must ultimately be taken to party rank and file for a vote. Members voted overwhelmingly at the party’s annual general meeting last spring to focus on self-renewal and not seek a merger. The issue has divided the PCs. Some don’t see the two parties as a natural fit given that, among other concerns, the PCs are more centrist on social issues than the Wildrose. Kenney’s plan has also raised questions on whether such a merger platform contravenes leadership contest rules, which forbid candidates from doing harm to the party or its brand.

SIGN: Owner won’t make mistake again Shaw stressed he is not looking for sympathy and is ready to accept any consequences concerning his business. “I’m not here to save my business. If people don’t want to eat at this diner because people think I’m a homophobic person there is nothing I can do. Their minds are made up.” said Shaw. However, Shaw does have one message for the community. “I don’t want people to support this place because they think I hate gay people because I don’t and I don’t want the gay community not to come here because they think I hate gay people,” said Shaw. Shaw said he won’t make the same mistake when thinking of what to display on his sign. Less than a month ago, the city celebrated Central Alberta Pride Week. jonathan.guignard@reddeeradvocate. com-

UNITED: Supports over 40 programs A total of $199,542 has already been raised for the Jumpstart Program to launch the 2016 campaign. Contributors were Alberta Health Services, Scotiabank, CIBC, MNP, Royal Bank, Dow M.E. Global, Shell Canada, Imperial Oil, the City of Red Deer, Bunch Projects and Proform. Campaign co-chair Ken Johnston said despite the economic reality, Jumpstart raised only $1,000 less than in 2015 and that is remarkable. “There are many of us that are hurting. There are many of us that can’t give as much as we did last year. But there are in this room a group of folks I believe, and in Central Alberta, a group that can and will,” Johnston said. United Way of Central Alberta supports over 40 programs and services in three priority areas — education to help kids, income to move people from poverty, and wellness to build healthy communities. The luncheon was presented by Johnston Ming Manning in partnership with Sheraton Red Deer Hotel. szielinski@reddeeradvocate.com

Lacombe residents get bang for tax buck SURVEY SAYS ABOUT 80 PER CENT OF RESIDENTS FEEL THEY GET GOOD OR FAIRLY GOOD VALUE BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Most Lacombe residents feel their tax dollars are being spent wisely. About eight of 10 residents felt they were getting good or fairly good value for their money in utilities, police and fire services and city administration. Slightly fewer — 73 per cent — felt that way about recreation programs and facilities with nearly 22 per cent ranking the value at fairly poor. Those results came through a budget survey launched earlier this year that drew 263 responses in the three weeks it was open. Six out of 10 who took the time to participate had lived in the city for 10 years or more and 85 per cent were homeowners. Residents were polled on how they want their city to pay for the increasing costs of providing services. Increasing property taxes and user fees was the choice of 31 per cent, while 26 per cent picked those options as well as service level cuts. The least popular option — 58 per cent were opposed — was balancing the budget solely by boosting property taxes. Mayor Steve Christie said that response came as no surprise to council,

Forgiveness speaker comes to Burman University Restorative justice advocate Katy Hutchison, who forgave the man who killed her husband, will give a free lecture on Sunday night in Lacombe. Hutchison’s spouse, Bob McIntosh, was beaten to death on New Year’s Eve 1997 after going next door to ask a group of young partiers to quiet down in Squamish B.C. After Hutchison told her four-yearold twins about their father’s death, a “code of silence” descended in the community. No one who knew what happened that night would co-operate with police to bring the killer to justice. Ryan Aldridge, who had been among 150 people drinking and doing drugs at the party, eventually confessed to the crime four years later, after being arrested by police and shown a home video made by Hutchison. The repentant Aldridge asked to meet with her, and what followed is recounted in Hutchison’s book, Walking After Midnight: One Woman’s Journey Through Murder, Justice and Forgiveness. The story also inspired the 2010 movie Bond of Silence. The Victoria, B.C. resident, who has since remarried, has explained why she was able to forgive Aldridge: She promised she would not allow her children’s lives to be dominated by their father’s death. “Underneath the horror of what had just happened, we would find a gift.”

which does not support that approach either. “It is not our goal is not to raise taxes every year. But as everybody’s costs go up our costs go up as well,” he said. “Budget time is always a balancing act.” When asked where residents wanted to see cuts if necessary, the responses covered a wide range of services. Reducing spending on policing, parks, administration, arts, snow removal and garbage were a few recurring suggestions. Top priorities for residents also ran a broad gamut, but recurring themes were: reducing taxes, attracting more businesses/shopping, and better pool facilities. Christie said the results of the survey and conversations with residents at a Coffee with Council gathering on Wednesday night will be used to identify priorities as the budget process gets underway. Council has sought public input into its budget process for several years. In past years, residents could suggest projects to be added to the budget. That information often came forward in the coffee meeting with council so the survey was tried this year as a different approach. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com Hutchison has told her story on numerous TV and radio shows. She’s an in-school mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, volunteers in a literacy program in a local elementary school and has sat on the Boards of Children’s International Summer Villages and Restorative Practices International. She will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the Burman University’s Administrative Building as part of the Herr Lecture Series. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Celeb dance off names 2017 charities Sheraton Celebrity Dance off 2017 will be raising money for two worthy charities — Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre and Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre. Both organizations will be part of the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre to be developed in Red Deer. Earlier this year, Red Deer’s premier dance gala collected $250,000 for Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society so it could pay off the mortgage on Julietta’s Place, a second-stage housing project in Red Deer for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Since it started in 2014, the Dance Off has raised over $1.1 million for local charities. Each year, community leaders accept the challenge to raise $15,000 each and are paired with a professional dance instructor to learn a dance routine to be performed at the Dance Off.

Blue Jays rebound with a win over the Angels BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Blue Jays 7 Angels 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Josh Donaldson went 3 for 3 with two doubles and scored two runs, Russell Martin hit a three-run homer, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-2 Thursday night. Toronto (80-66) remained tied with Baltimore for the two AL wild cards, two games behind East-leading Boston. J.A. Happ took a shutout into the seventh inning before running into

trouble. Happ (19-4), charged with two runs and three hits, struck out three over six-plus innings and got his 13th win in his last 17 starts. Roberto Osuna got the last three outs for his 33rd save. Daniel Wright (0-3) gave up two runs before exiting in the sixth after walking leadoff batter Donaldson. Jose Valdez replaced him and got the first out but walked Jose Bautista and then gave up home run for the second night in a row, this one Martin’s 19th that put the Blue Jays up 5-0.

RDC Kings and Queens ready to hit the links BY DANNY RODE SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE Losing Kate Griffiths was a big loss for the RDC golf team, but head coach Scott Bergdahl was 100 per cent behind her decision. “She received a scholarship from a private college in California, worth around $42,000, so it’s something she couldn’t turn down,” said Bergdahl. “It doesn’t kick in until next year but she will move to Phoenix in November to work on her game and potentially look toward turning pro after college. “It’s a big loss for us, but a great opportunity for her.” Griffiths spent one year at RDC and finished second in both the ACAC and the CCAA championships. But even with Griffiths gone the RDC women’s team will be competitive with Shaye Leidenhius of Ponoka, who plays out of Wolf Creek, and Hayley Phillips of Carstairs Leidenhius is coming off a solid season, which saw her put together several top 10 finishes on both the McLennan Ross Junior Tour and the Maple Leaf Junior Tour. She finished second in the McLennan Ross final at Wolf Creek with an 82. “Shaye’s record speaks for itself,” said Bergdahl. “She has all the skill. She just needs a little work

on her swing technically and to work on the mental side a bit. But she gives us an exceptional player to replace Kate. And with Hayley I think we could have a better women’s team than last year.” Phillips helped her high school team win the provincial 1A-2A girl’s championship in 2013, but she hasn’t played much since. “She has some talent it’s just a matter of bringing it back out of her,” said Bergdahl. “She’s been working with us for half the season and she’s developed quickly. I’m excited for the team. “Our goal is to go to the Nationals.” On the men’s side, Cole Morrison, who finished 10th at the ACAC playoffs, is the only returning starter from last season. “He’s the only returnee out of our top five or six,” Bergdahl added. “He’s come full circle. He’s matured as a young man and a golfer. He did a lot of work in the off season and we expect good things from him. He’s our captain and he’s taking it very seriously.” Logan Crawford, who red shirted last year, is also back. One of the more interesting players on the roster is former club professional Colton Craner of Lacombe. However, he has yet to receive his amateur status. “That’s the biggest problem right now,” said Bergdahl. “We’ve made a number of phone calls to get it.

Golf Canada is on our side and the Canadian PGA has done what they need to now it’s a matter of getting the group together to see if he meets the criteria and reinstating him. Hopefully it happens quickly, but sometimes it’s a longer process.” Bergdahl is hoping he gets a call today so Craner could play in the ACAC’s South Regional in Olds, which runs Saturday and Sunday. Ryan Skoreyko of Lacombe just joined the team Thursday with six-foot-nine Alex White of New Sarepta also a later addition. “Ryan has been playing and all indications are he’s a good player while Alex hasn’t played much for a couple of years, but he was a plus-four handicap at one time.” Cody Clipperton of Airdrie is the other member of the team. “Overall I like our men’s team,” added Bergdahl. Who has former pro Brett Bingham as an assistant coach. “They have good potential and have the skill. It’s a matter of putting it all together in a short time. But moving forward I’m optimistic.” The North Regional is set for Sept. 24-25 at Ravencrest Golf and Country Club in Edmonton with the ACAC championship at Lac La Biche, Oct. 1-2.

Keitlyn Williams ready to light up the court DANNY RODE LOCAL SPORT Coming out of Lindsay Thurber High School Keitlyn Williams was considered a strong candidate to play college basketball. She was recruited by several colleges, but decided to attend Olds in 2012. However, she changed her mind, in fact decided to simply step away from the game completely. Five years later she’s back on the court and playing a significant role with the RDC Queens. “I ended up not touching a basketball for five years,” she explained. “I just stepped away. I never even scrimmaged or watched.” Last year she decided to attend RDC and it was then she made contact with Queens head coach Ken King. “I was going to school here and Ken invited me out to practice and tryout and it worked out,” she said. “It was a little hard as the game is a lot faster

than high school. Williams joined the Queens for the second half of the season and played eight games. She saw limited floor time as she became comfortable with the systems. She finished with 2.5 points per game, 10 rebounds and four assists. “It was a little frustrating at first because I was away for so long, and I wasn’t as good as I once was. But I’m picking it up,” she said. “Coming in last year at the midway point is challenging for anybody but especially when you haven’t played for that long,” said King. “So last year was tough on her. But she’s definitely more comfortable this year. She had the off season to train and get ready and came in great shape. She works hard and looks a lot more comfortable.” In high school Williams was a scorer, but also was able to see the floor. Her vision hasn’t changed. “Being able to see the floor certainly helped,” she said. “But my shooting isn’t where I’d like it to be. I struggled there a bit.” Williams is listed at point guard back of starter Eva Bonde. “I always played point and I’m comfortable there and playing behind Eva,” said the 23-year-old. “Now she’s able to play a role where she doesn’t have to score and doesn’t have to be the best player

on the floor like she did back in high school,” said King. “Now she plays to her strengths and do what comes naturally. It makes the game come a lot more to her.” Williams is one of the older players on the Queens, and smiles when talking about her teammates calling her old. “Even one of the referees last year called me grandma,” she said laughing. But she’s fit in nicely with the team. “It’s a lot of fun,” she said. “I made some new friends and I really like our team chemistry this year.” Williams grew up 30 minutes east of Red Deer and eventually moved to Red Deer for middle school. She always loved basketball, since joining the Hoops program at RDC in Grade 2. “So I’ve been in this gym for many years,” she said. This could be her final season with the Queens. ‘I’m taking two years in the social program and then I’m not sure. I have a couple of options. We’ll see.” Danny Rode is a retired Advocate reporter who can be reached at drode@reddeeradvocate.com. His work can also be seen at Danny’s blog at rdcathletics.ca

Tkachuk getting used to Calgary CALGARY FLAMES BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — When Matthew Tkachuk thought about his first NHL training camp, he was more nervous about not knowing anybody than hockey. So the 18-year-old forward arrived in Calgary four days before the start of rookie camp to join Flames players in informal skates. Tkachuk hopes the time spent on the ice with captain Mark Giordano, defenceman T.J. Brodie and veteran Matt Stajan extends through the 2016-17 season. “My worry coming in wasn’t was I going to be able to play hockey,” Tkachuk said Thursday during rookie fitness testing at WinSport. “I have a pretty good feeling that my game, if I do the right things, will take care of itself. “It was just about getting to know the guys. That was my only worry coming in — I don’t know one guy on the team. Having the older guys like Stajan and Gio taking care of me and making me feel at home is really good.” The sixth overall pick in the June draft is well aware he was selected by a team that made Sean Monahan and Sam Bennett NHL regulars when they were teenagers. “My mindset is this is the team I want to be playing for,” Tkachuk said. “That was my mindset right when I got drafted. “I knew what the history has been but history doesn’t repeat itself automatically. It’s what you put in. Obviously the previous players that have played here at a young age did everything in their power to make sure they’re ready.” His father, Keith, scored over 500 goals and had over 1,000 points in 1,201 NHL games for the Winnipeg Jets, Phoenix Coyotes, St. Louis Blues and Atlanta Thrashers. Matthew says his father’s advice about Flames training camp didn’t deviate from previous speeches. “Same two things every time: ‘Compete and be a good teammate,’ ” he said. Tkachuk was born in Scottsdale, but grew up in St. Louis. The six-foot-two, 202-pound winger has his father’s hands. Tkachuk’s 30 goals and 77 assists in just 57 games with the London Knights last season was fifth-highest in the OHL and second on the Knights behind league MVP Mitch Marner. Tkachuk had 20 goals and 20 assists in 18 playoff games. His overtime winner in the Memorial Cup fi-

London Knights’ Matthew Tkachuk, centre, celebrate the game-winning goal in the team’s overtime victory in CHL Memorial Cup championship game hockey action against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in Red Deer, May 29, 2016. Calgary’s first-round pick, sixth overall, in this year’s draft arrived at Flames training camp with much fanfare. Tkachuk, son of NHL veteran Keith, scored the overtime winner for the London Knights in the Memorial Cup final. nal was his second goal of that game. The Memorial Cup, NHL combine and draft along with Calgary’s development camp in July made for a whirlwind early summer. Tkachuk then buckled down in the gym to build the strength needed to compete against men. He says he saw results from those decisions in Thursday’s fitness testing. “My testing scores have gone up crazily,” he said. “I was really happy with my scores today. “I just want to make sure it translates to the ice. You can be the strongest guy in world, but if you can’t play hockey you don’t have a chance.”

He and 28 other Flames prospects hit the ice for the first time at camp Friday in Penticton, B.C., where Calgary plays the Winnipeg Jets in the annual Young Stars Classic rookie tournament. The Flames face the Oilers on Saturday and finish Monday against the Vancouver Canucks. Main camp opens Sept. 22. Another Flames hopeful to watch is six-foot-four, 200-pound centre Mark Jankowski of St. Catharines, Ont. Calgary’s first-round pick (21st overall) in 2012 completed his college career at Providence last season.

Crosby a winner no matter stage his plays on BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — When Sidney Crosby first stepped onto the international stage, Team Canada fell flat. It was 13 years ago in the summer of 2003 and Crosby had just turned 16. He was by far the youngest player on an under-18 squad shooting for an eighth consecutive gold medal at the junior World Cup. But that year, even with the prodigy on hand, Canada finished a distant fourth, trounced 8-2 by the hometown Czechs in the bronze-medal game. It was by no means a preview of what was to come for Crosby on the world stage. The Cole Harbour, N.S., native has won nearly everything there is to win while wearing the Maple Leaf, save the World Cup of Hockey, which he’ll play in for the first time later this week. Crosby has come up golden at the world juniors, world championships and twice at the Olympics. “I feel like every time you put on a Team Canada jersey, you’re representing your country, there’s a lot of pride that comes with that,” Crosby said Thursday at World Cup media day. His “golden goal” at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver stands as one of the most impactful goals in the country’s history. Indeed, Crosby has met expectations on the international stage, despite the bright spotlight and increased pressure that comes with being the most hyped player of his generation. “For Sid and a lot of these kids coming up, they have a little bit of an unfair target on their back at all times,” said Ryan Getzlaf, a frequent teammate with Canada. “People expect so much out of them on a daily basis that they forget that they’re still players and they’re still humans. It’s part of the role I guess that he’s taken on his back and he’s done a great job with it.” After initially faltering with Canada at the ‘03 event, Crosby, again the youngest player for Canada, helped his team to silver at the 2004 world junior championships. A year later, on a loaded squad that included Getzlaf, Shea Weber and Patrice Bergeron, among others, the Canadians emerged with gold, trouncing Russia 6-1 in the gold-medal game. Every player on Team Canada that year was born in either 1985 or 1986, except for Crosby, who was born Aug. 7, 1987. Crosby rung up a team-leading eight goals and 16 points in only nine games at the 2006 world championships, but the Canadians finished fourth. Then came 2010 and an everlasting moment in Vancouver. Crosby’s overtime goal sunk the U.S. in the final and handed Canada, under especially potent pressure on home soil, a satisfying victory. Crosby says he doesn’t think about the moment much, though it remains a “great memory” given where it happened. While it may lack the significance of the Olympics, the World Cup is another chance at international glory on home turf for Canada. Crosby thinks home-ice advantage can help. The group fed off the enthusiasm in Vancouver, he said. “I think there’s always pressure, there’s always expectations (and) you may feel that a little bit more being at home,” said Crosby, coming off his second

Pittsburgh Penguin Sydney Crosby, far right, does what he does best, score goals. His success reaches far beyond the National Hockey League as the hockey phenom has won almost everything there is to win when wearing a Team Canada jersey. Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season. “But I think it’s something you can definitely embrace and use to help you, too.” If not statistically productive at the 2014 Olympics, Crosby still made a dent in Sochi. He was a mostly controlling force with the puck, scoring his first goal of the tournament in the gold medal match against Sweden — a 3-0 win and second straight Olympic gold for Canada. His Pittsburgh Penguins dropped in the first round of the 2015 NHL playoffs, Crosby flew to the Czech Republic for the 2015 world championships where he helped Canada snap an eight-year gold-medal drought. Crosby mustered 11 points in nine games, including a goal and an assist in the final. “I think anytime I go on the ice I try to work hard and try to be at my best, but I think you know the circumstances in most of these events — it’s one game, it’s not a playoff series,” Crosby said. “I think with that kind of format I think it brings out the best in ev-

eryone and that desperation level’s probably at the highest it could be.” Next up is the World Cup, where Crosby will serve again as Team Canada’s captain and the biggest star among stars. He suitably occupied stall No. 1 on media day. “He always has the spotlight on him,” said John Tavares, picked first overall at the NHL draft four years after Crosby. “He’s obviously accomplished a lot (and) he’s very deserving of all of the accolades and then obviously a lot of the attention he gets as well. And he handles it extremely well, I think that’s what’s most impressive.” Getzlaf has stopped being surprised. “I’ve seen him so long and he’s been in this role for so long that I think it’s just a part of his life now and what he does, and he handles it well,” Getzlaf said. “He’s done a great job representing Canada and Pittsburgh and himself, as well as the NHL for a lot of years.”

Rivard shatters world record en route to Paralympics gold BY THE CANADIAN PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO — Aurelie Rivard touched the wall, looked up at the time clock and smacked the water with delight. The Canadian swim star demolished the field to win the 400-metre freestyle at the Rio Paralympics on Thursday, shattering the world record in the process. “Oh man, I’m so happy, I really wanted it. I was so so so nervous before the race,” Rivard said, before darting away to prepare for the 4x100 freestyle relay. “I’ve been training for it for so long and now that I’ve done it, it’s just so amazing.” It was her third gold — and fourth medal — of the

Games. The 20-year-old from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., who was born without a hand, pulled away over the final 200 metres to touch in a world-record four minutes 29.26 seconds. The previous mark was 4:32.79. Australia’s Monique Murphy was second in 4:35.09. Benoit Huot of Longueuil, Que., captured the 20th medal of his illustrious career, winning bronze in the 400 free in likely his final Paralympic appearance. “It’s number 20, I can sleep in peace now. I can go in peace. I just feel it’s a nicer number than 19,” said a grinning Huot. The 32-year-old, who was born with a club foot,

flipped backwards over the lane rope in celebration when the results flashed up. Ukraine swept gold and silver, with Maksym Krypak breaking the world record to win in 3:57.51. Denys Dubrov was second in 4:00.11. Huot finished in 4:04.63, a couple of seconds faster than he’d predicted he’d swim. “But the magic came out, I had an amazing first 200, I knew I had to be aggressive and stay with the guys and not be behind like I often do,” he said. Huot said he might swim one more season, but doesn’t have another four years of Paralympic preparation in him. Please see RIVARD on Page B3

Three-way tie for first at Boise Open SAM RYDER, ADAM SCHENK AND KEITH MITCHELL SIT ATOP THE LEADERBOARD “I BIRDIED MY FIRST FOUR HOLES, SO THAT NEVER HURTS. I JUST DROVE IT WELL, DROVE IT IN THE FAIRWAY FOR THE MOST PART, AND I JUST HOLED A COUPLE PUTTS EARLY.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOISE, Idaho — Sam Ryder, Adam Schenk and Keith Mitchell each shot 7-under 64 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Web.com Tour Finals’ Albertsons Boise Open. Ryder birdied the first four holes and five of the first six at Hillcrest Country Club. The 26-year-old former Stetson player, 31st on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list, bogeyed the ninth, birdied the 12th and eagled the par-5 16th. “I birdied my first four holes, so that never hurts,” Ryder said. “I just drove it well, drove it in the fairway for the most part, and I just holed a couple putts early. That’s kind of been the difference maker for me — the putter. When I manage to make some putts, I’ve been able to put some good scores together. So seeing some putts go in early jump-started the round for me.” Schenk had nine birdies — the last a 35-footer on the par-4 18th — and two bogeys. The 24-year-old former Purdue player was 40th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list. “Got off to a nice start early. Didn’t make many mistakes out there really,” Schenk said. “Hit a lot

RIVARD: Paralympics darling “I’d like to maybe leave on a good note,” Huot said. “I would’ve written a Hollywood script and hoping to finish like this, and I don’t think it would have been possible to happen. And it did.” Huot, who is competing in his fifth Paralympics, said he made sure to cherish every moment Thursday. “Behind the blocks, shaving down this afternoon, telling myself ‘Ben, it’s the last time.’ Putting that suit on, ‘Ben, it’s the last time.’ Going to warmup, ‘Ben it’s the last time,’ ” he said. “And I look up at the stands right before the race, and I just said to myself: ‘Ben, have the time of your life.’ And my mind was in that zone for those four minutes.”

CANADA NOW HAS 24 MEDALS, INCLUDING SEVEN GOLD AT THE PARALYMPICS IN RIO It was two of Canada’s four medals on Day 8 of competition. The Canadians now have 24 medals, including seven gold for 13th in the country standings. The seven gold also equals Canada’s performance set in London four years ago. In track and field, wheelchair racer Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., captured bronze in the 800 metres for his third medal of the Games. The 36-year-old won gold in the 100 and silver in the 400. Lakatos raced to a time of 1:41.09. Thailand’s Pongsakorn Paeyo won gold in 1:40.78, while Pierre Fairbank of France was second (1:40.97). In cycling, Charles Moreau of Victoriaville, Que., was third in the road race for his second bronze medal of the Games. Canada’s wheelchair rugby team improved to 2-0, beating Britain 50-49 in overtime to secure a spot in the semifinals. Christine Gauthier of Pointe-Claire, Que., finished fourth in the women’s KL2 200 metres in para-canoeing. In boccia, Montreal’s Alison Levine earned fifth place in the BC4 mixed individual following a loss in the quarter-finals. Victoria natives Joh McRoberts and Jackie Gay are second overall after 8-of-11 races in sailing. Haliafx’s Paul Tingley, Logan Campbell of Saskatoon and Scott Lutes of Montreal are third overall in threeman sonar after winning race eight. Canada’s Lauren Barwick has qualified to move on to the final Freestyle Test on Friday to close out para-dressage competition. In women’s sitting volleyball, Canada defeated Rwanda 3-0 (25-21, 25-15, 25-20) to finish in seventh place overall.

And made a couple long putts like on the last hole, so if you can some putts and hit your wedges good, you’re going to shoot a low one.” Mitchell eagled the par-4 ninth and had six birdies and a bogey. The 24-year-old former Georgia player was 70th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list. “I was kind of in control of my game,” Mitchell said. “I started off a little shaky and had to drop on the second hole. I missed a couple of greens to start, but my short game was doing well today, and it kept me in it. I made a few putts the rest of the way.” The tournament is the second in the four-event series features the top 75 players from the Web.

Bills retire Smith’s jersey BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Bruce Smith joined some elite company in Buffalo. The NFL’s career sacks leader and Hall of Famer had his No. 78 retired during a halftime ceremony at Buffalo’s game against the New York Jets on Thursday night. Smith was joined at midfield during a halftime ceremony by his family as his name and number were unveiled on the wall above the east end zone. The field was adorned with a circular banner with

Smith’s name and number and a separate banner with a picture of Smith during his playing days in Buffalo. “It feels so good to be home,” Smith told a sold-out New Era Field. “There are no words that I can utter here tonight that will adequately convey just how overjoyed, overwhelmed, and honoured I am to have my jersey retired from this storied Buffalo Bills organization.” Smith played 19 seasons in the NFL, 15 of those with the Bills and is the NFL’s all-time sack leader with 200 and had 171 with Buffalo.

Jets 37 Bills 31 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Matt Forte scored three touchdown runs and Ryan Fitzpatrick finally solved Rex Ryan’s defence, leading the New York Jets to a 37-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. Forte’s 3-yard run put New York ahead 2724 with 2:12 left in the third quarter. He sealed the win by patiently waiting for a seam to open before scampering into the end zone from 12 yards to put New York up 37-24 with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter. Forte finished with 100 yards rushing, and the off-season free-agent addition became the 13th New York player to score three rushing touchdowns in a game. The Jets (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss to Cincinnati and snapped a five-game skid against their AFC East rivals. Fitzpatrick finished 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker. In beating one of his former teams, Fitzpatrick also overcame the stinging memories of last year’s season finale, a 22-17 loss at Buffalo that eliminated the Jets from playoff contention. Fitzpatrick closed the loss by throwing interceptions on each of the Jets final three possessions. “I think it means a little bit more than a regular game because this was my life for four years being here,” Fitzpatrick said about spending 2009-12 with the Bills. “But I’m more excited about our team and the way we responded in the second half.” The Bills (0-2) are suddenly reeling in Ryan’s second season as coach , and two years after he has fired by the Jets. “Obviously, we never expected this,” Ryan

said. “The Jets were a much better team than we were today, especially their offence against our defence looked like a mismatch today. You look for a difference in the game and that was the difference in the game.” The Bills’ offence sputtered in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday, and now it was their defence that showed cracks against the Jets. New York finished with 493 yards offence, 28 first downs and had seven drives cross midfield. Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor rebounded five days after he was limited to 111 yards passing against the Ravens. He went 18 of 30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns and an interception. Marquise Goodwin scored on an 84-yarder catch, Greg Salas scored on a 71-yard catch and running back Mike Gillislee made it close, by catching an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:17 remaining. The Jets scored on each of their first four possessions to build a 20-7 lead. The Bills responded by scoring on three straight possessions spanning halftime to go up 24-20. Safety Nickell Robey-Coleman capped the run by returning Jalin Marshall’s fumble 36 yards for a touchdown. GOING DEEP Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis got off to another tough start. After having difficulty covering Bengals receiver A.J. Green on Sunday, Revis was burned by Goodwin on his 84-yard touchdown catch. Goodwin burst past Revis up the right sideline at midfield and had two steps on him when he caught Tyrod Taylor’s pass in stride at the Jets 35 and ran it in. It was Buffalo’s longest touchdown pass at home in team history, and longest since Fitzpatrick hit Terrell Owens for a 98-yard touchdown strike at Tennessee on Nov. 15, 2009.

UN Secretary General Ban talks cheaper drugs BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s office says it hopes a new report he commissioned will help make life-saving drugs more affordable for vulnerable people. Spokesman Matthias Gillmann said Ban doesn’t necessarily endorse this week’s report of a high-level UN panel that called for changes to international intellectual property rules that keep lower-priced generic drugs off the market longer. But he hopes it stimulates discussion at this weekend’s conference in Montreal where Ban is joining philanthropist Bill Gates and Irish rock star and activist Bono. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hosting the twoday event starting Friday, which is trying to raise $13 billion U.S. to replenish the Global Fund in its fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria for the next three years. “The Secretary-General hopes that the report helps strengthen discussions and actions — by all stakeholders — to ensure access to medicines to everyone, and thus strengthen the global partnership for sustainable development in a way that truly leaves no one behind,” Gillman told The Canadian Press in an email Thursday. Despite advances in health care, Ban’s panel on access to medicines said “gaps and failures in addressing disease burdens” remain in many countries. “The misalignment between the right to health on the one hand and intellectual property and trade on the other, fuel this tension,” it said. A spokesman for the Global Fund, which Gates co-founded, said Thursday it wants to see greater access to lower-priced drugs to fight the preventable and deadly diseases the organization is focused on, but stopped short of endorsing UN the report. Seth Faison said intellectual property laws and rights vary by country, but “our position is in favour

of lower priced drugs, however we get there. “We support generic companies and we support originator pharmaceutical companies. We need the support of all them to deliver on our mission.” Some anti-HIV campaigners offered sharp criticism of drug companies and the patent protection they currently enjoy. They also reiterated their complaint that the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal should be rejected because they say its intellectual property provisions will mean fewer drugs reaching poor people. Canadian Stephen Lewis, a former special UN envoy for HIV-AIDS in Africa, said “the perverse behaviour of the pharmaceutical companies” is keeping two drugs off the market that are desperately needed to fight a particular strain of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Richard Elliott, executive director of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, said he welcomed Canada’s leadership by holding the pledging conference, but he urged Trudeau to work towards curbing intellectual property rules. “There is a responsibility on behalf of the host government — and really any of the governments that are pledging money to the Global Fund — to take the necessary additional policy measures that will ensure their money actually goes as far as possible and saves as many lives as possible.” Jason Nickerson, the humanitarian affairs adviser for Doctors Without Borders, said the physicians in his organization face front-line problems in treating tuberculosis every day. He urged donors at the Montreal conference to consider not just how much money to give, but what they can do to “address how we fund R & D and how medicines are developed.” Trudeau will be leading an international cast of politicians, philanthropists and celebrities, and has already committed $785 million from Canada. The event is designed to show Canadian leadership on the international stage ahead of what is expected to be Trudeau’s first address to the United Nations General Assembly next week.

Liberals group wants to make Ottawa bilingual BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Liberal MP Denis Paradis thinks it sounds obvious enough: Canada is an officially bilingual country, so its national capital should be too. “I do think that it would be a good thing that Ottawa shows that there are two official languages in the country,” Paradis, who represents the Quebec riding of Brome-Missisquoi, said in an interview. That’s why he would like to raise the idea with colleagues on the House of Commons standing committee on official languages, which he chairs, when MPs return to Parliament Hill next week. The notion of making Ottawa officially bilingual — which Paradis says would not involve changing any federal laws — is one that has come and gone and come again over the decades. It has sparked passionate debates between those who want stronger protections for the rights of the minority French-speaking community in Ottawa and those who fear it would cost too much and further restrict access to jobs in a city where bilingualism is already a frequent requirement for a job in the federal government. Paradis said he was inspired to discuss the proposal with the committee this fall in part because it was long championed by Mauril Belanger, a Liberal

“I DO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING THAT OTTAWA SHOWS THAT THERE ARE TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES IN THE COUNTRY.” - LIBERAL MP DENIS PARADIS MP from Ottawa who died this summer following a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The City of Ottawa has had a bilingualism policy since 2001, which says the municipality recognizes both English and French as having the same rights, status and privileges. It’s the reason why Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson has long opposed officially changing the status, arguing the city is already bilingual. A group called Movement for an Officially Bilingual Capital of Canada wants the municipal council to ask the Ontario legislature to change the City of Ottawa Act so that it officially recognizes the bilingual character and status of the city as the national capital, which they argue would essentially enshrine the status quo in law. Added Alain Dupuis, vice-president of the Association des communautes francophones d’Ottawa, one of the organizations behind the proposal: “We are

not asking for a federal-type officially bilingual city where you would have to have X number of jobs designated or reserved. Let’s just make sure that future generations can enjoy the same level of services that we have now.” Beth Trudeau, member of a group called Canadians for Language Fairness, nonetheless strongly opposed any change. “Ask (Ottawa residents) if they (want) such an unnecessary added expense to their tax bill,” she wrote in an email, pointing out the call for a bilingual Ottawa does not include bringing bilingualism to Gatineau, Que., the other city that makes up the National Capital Region. New Democrat MP Francois Choquette, vice-chair of the official languages committee, said he would support Paradis in his efforts, but added he really wants to hear from Heritage Minister Melanie Joly, who is also minister responsible for official languages. “She is the one who should be showing leadership on wanting to have Ottawa be bilingual.” Joly has decided to stay out of it, with her office saying Thursday that while official languages and supporting minority communities are a priority for the Liberal government, any decisions about bilingualism in Ottawa belong to the municipal and Ontario governments.

Toronto police are asking for approval to outfit all frontline officers with body-worn cameras, despite reporting major issues after analyzing its year-long pilot project. The request to the police board comes despite the steep cost of the proposed program, which the report estimates would reach $85 million over 10 years. The vast majority of that money would go to storing the videos, according to Insp. Michael Barsky, the operational lead on the pilot project. Both Mayor John Tory and Chief Mark Saunders said one of the main concerns was the amount of time officers spent dealing with the videos after their shifts — an average of 39 minutes and up to two hours per shift for some officers. “This is clearly a major, major devotion of police resources to just managing video information and unless you spent a lot more money on a lot more police officers this is going to take

away from policing in the community,” Tory said. “So these are the kinds of things we’re going to have to take a very careful look at, but I am in favour of having cameras subject to resolving a lot of these issues.” Some of those issues include serious battery problems that only allowed use of the cameras for three-to-five hours per shift and the majority of officers work 10-hour shifts, Barsky said. There was also hope that the body cameras would have a positive effect on police officers by decreasing useof-force incidents, but there was little effect, according to the report. But it noted officers surveyed said they felt they lost their use of discretion, which led to an increase in arrests and a decrease in warnings. Saunders said technology has changed so quickly since they began looking into body cameras two years ago that many of these problems could be resolved. Surveys conducted by Toronto police showed 95 per cent of the public and 85 per cent of officers support the use of the cameras.

Man attacks NYC cops with meat clever SHOT AT LEAST TWICE BY POLICE AFTER HE HACKED THE FACE OF AN OFF-DUTY DETECTIVE BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Police chased a man wielding a meat cleaver through midtown Manhattan Thursday, then shot him on a crowded street after he hacked the face of an off-duty police detective who tried to tackle him, authorities said. The man with the knife was shot at least twice and was hospitalized in critical but stable condition, police said. The detective, who had been heading home in street clothes when he intervened in the chase, was being treated at the hospital for a six-inch gash from his temple to his jaw. “I want to commend them on their bravery,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said of the officers involved. Police fired 18 shots at the man, but Bratton, who is retiring Friday, said he believed officers acted appropriately. “We have a character running down the street, waving a cleaver,” he said. The chase began on Broadway and ended about a block from Macy’s department store and Madison Square Garden, just as rush hour was getting underway. The confrontation started, police said, when two uniformed officers encountered the man trying to remove an immobilizing boot from a parked vehicle. Police said the suspect, Akram Joudeh, 32, had a previous address in Queens but appeared to have been living in the car. After the officers approached, Joudeh pulled an 11-inch knife and ran, police said. A growing group of officers chased him, and at one point shot him with a Taser, with no apparent effect. A bystander, Jonathan Schneier, said when he left work to get coffee he saw a balding man holding a cleaver, surrounded by a small group of officers yelling at him to drop the knife. “I give credit to the police officers. They gave him many opportunities,” Schneier said. He said the man with the knife “did not look very stable.” The man turned and ran, Schneier said. Officers chased him down the street. An off-duty

World BRIEFS Witness says Philippine president ordered killings MANILA, Philippines — A former Filipino militiaman testified before the country’s Senate on Thursday that President Rodrigo Duterte, when he was still a city mayor, ordered him and other members of a liquidation squad to kill criminals and opponents in gangland-style assaults that left about 1,000 dead. Edgar Matobato, 57, told the nationally televised Senate committee hearing that he heard Duterte order some of the killings, and acknowledged that he himself carried out about 50 deadly assaults as an assassin, including a suspected kidnapper fed to a crocodile in 2007 in southern Davao del Sur province. Rights groups have long accused Duterte of involvement in death squads, claims he has denied, even while engaging in tough talk in which he stated his approach to criminals was to “kill them all.” Matobato is the first person to admit any role in such killings, and to directly implicate Duterte under oath in a public hearing. Human Rights Watch urged the Philippine government to order an independent investigation into the “very serious allegations” of direct involvement by Duterte “in extrajudicial killings.”

Transgender woman killed EL PASO, Texas — A soldier is accused of killing a transgender woman in West Texas, and the FBI is investigating whether it was a hate crime. Police arrested 21-yearold Anthony Michael Bowden on Tuesday and charged him with murder. The El Paso Times reports (http://bit. ly/2d1S9hq ) that the FBI civil rights squad is working with police in El Paso to determine whether the slaying of 36-year-old Erykah Tijerina on Aug. 8 was a hate crime. Police say several pieces of forensic evidence led investigators to Bowden. The case remains under investigation. No information about Bowden’s assignment at Fort Bliss in El Paso was immediately available. Bowden remains jailed on a $750,000 bond. Court records did not list an attorney for him.

A bloodied towel and ball cap, towels and combine pads lay on top of and next to a New York Police squad car, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016, in New York. Police say a man with a meat cleaver attacked an officer and was shot at least twice during a struggle with officers trying to subdue him, Thursday. The gunshots rang out two blocks from Macy’s flagship store at Herald Square, and police say the wounded man has been hospitalized police detective tried to tackle the man, who lashed out with the knife, said the department’s top chief, James O’Neill. That’s when officers opened fire, he said. “They shot until the threat was stopped,” said O’Neill, who is succeeding Bratton as commissioner. Corey Melton, a photographer, was checking his phone on the street corner when he heard “a series of gunshots go off.” Photos he took show a grey, four-door sedan with

bullet holes in the windshield. His photos also show a man sitting on the ground handcuffed behind the car. Officials said Joudeh has been arrested more than a dozen times in recent years, mostly for minor crimes, but didn’t provide details. Attempts to locate any relatives Joudeh might have in New York were not immediately successful. It is likely to be many hours, if not days, before a lawyer is appointed to represent him.

“letter of discontent” but did not provide more details about what Larry Rosenberg, 77, wrote before he opened fire at Heritage Court Apartments. Detectives have not made conclusions about Rosenberg’s motive but were looking into “longstanding animosity” between Rosenberg and the three victims before the shooting Wednesday in Wyoming’s state capital, Long said. The victim who died was identified Thursday as 45-year-old Matthew Wilson, a complex employee. Building residents Gregory Gilbert, 65, and Larry Warwick, 74, were identified by Long as the victims who were wounded and taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. Gilbert was in critical condition Thursday, said hospital spokeswoman Kathy Baker. Warwick was no longer listed in the hospital’s directory of patients but Baker said she could not provide additional details. Gilbert was one of the organizers of the poker games held three times a week that bothered some residents, said Mary Eastman, a resident who described Rosenberg as a friendly man who went with her to yard sales. Long said he could not immediately confirm that Gilbert had organized the games.

Navy: Pilot error primary cause of fatal Blue Angels crash the recommended range between 125 and 135 knots. “Airspeed higher than normal for the manoeuvre and the lower starting altitude limited decision-making opportunities and removed margins of error for corrections to the flight trajectory,” Shoemaker wrote. Kuss was recognized by teammates as among the most meticulous and professional pilots but that day missed some routine procedures, like logging his flight before takeoff, indicating he may have been fatigued, Shoemaker. He had no previous military mishaps or flight violations. Recommendations by the report to improve safety, such as eliminating the Split-S manoeuvre from the Blue Angels’ show, have been implemented. Shoemaker also recommended the team’s pilots, who put themselves under tremendous pressure to perform, take more breaks and speak up if they need rest.

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A member of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team killed during practice in Tennessee lost control of his fighter jet because it was travelling too fast and then failed to recover because it was too low for the manoeuvre he was performing, a Navy investigation shows. A report cited pilot error as the primary cause of the crash that claimed the life of Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss while he was preparing for an air show June 2 in Smyrna, outside Nashville. The report, released Thursday, said Kuss’ jet was travelling too fast and too low as he transitioned from a high-performance climb into a Split-S manoeuvr, a 180-degree turn that involves inverting the aircraft and then making a half-loop to go in the opposite direction at a lower altitude. The plane tumbled from the sky, crashed and burst into flames. The report cited pilot fatigue and cloudy weather as contributing factors. Kuss, a native of Durango, Colorado, had a wife and two young children. He had logged nearly 1,700 hours of flying time and had served in Afghanistan. Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, commander of naval air forces in San Diego, said Kuss’ death was “devastating and felt across the naval aviation community.” The Navy report found no mechanical problems with the F/A-18C fighter jet, and Kuss did not black out before the crash, the Navy said. An F-16 fighter jet from the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds crashed on the same day in Colorado. That pilot ejected and wasn’t seriously injured. The report, released to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act, indicates Kuss failed to disengage afterburners, contributing to the excessive speed, and failed to climb to the appropriate altitude, possibly because of cloud cover, giving him too little space to recover. According to the report, the manoeuvre required a minimum altitude of 3,500 feet (1,067 metres) before the plane goes inverted at the top of the climb, and Kuss began the manoeuvre at 3,196 feet (974 metres). His maximum airspeed was 184 knots, above

THE ADVOCATE FRIDAY. SEPT. 16, 2016

You can still get your kicks

Photos by ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES

It’s OK to add one’s own artistic mark at the famed Cadillac Ranch. BY ADVOCATE NEWS SERVICES In case you’ve forgotten the lyrics to (Get Your Kicks on) Route 66, here’s a refresher: Now you go through Saint Louie And Joplin, Missouri And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty, you’ll see Amarillo Gallup, New Mexico Flagstaff, Arizona Don’t forget Winona Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino. Now forget what you’ve just remembered. For the 70th anniversary of Bobby Troup’s song, which was first recorded by Nat King Cole in 1946, we replaced the original cities with destinations that better capture the spirit of the Mother Road. Here are the new nine and why they make the charts. Pontiac, Ill.: This time-capsule town feels like an alfresco gallery with more than 20 murals, including the world’s largest painted Route 66 shield, and 15 miniature art cars. The Pontiac Museum Complex contains the Bob Waldmire Experience, which honours the Route 66 artist and cartographer; the Pontiac-Oakland Museum; and the Route 66 Association Hall of Fame & Museum. The Old Log Cabin Restaurant opened in 1926 and flipped its entrance around when the road was realigned in the 1940s. You can see an original section out back. Info: il-pontiactourism.civicplus.com. Springfield, Mo.: The city backs up its claim to the Birthplace of Route 66 title with a replica of the telegram that greenlighted the road. See a copy of the message, plus other mementos, at the Route 66 Springfield Visitor Center. As part of a plan to create a living museum on a stretch of the road, the city erected a replica of the Red’s Giant Hamburg sign (the world’s first drive-through restaurant) at the Birthplace of Route 66 Roadside Park. The Classic Car Museum opened this summer with more than 60 classic cruisers. The Best Western Route 66 Rail Haven hotel has eight sandstone cottages from 1938 as well as an Elvis suite with a tail-fin car bed. The Steak ’n’ Shake is a true 1960s diner: The steakburger and hand-dipped milkshake joint is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Info: springfieldmo.org. Galena, Kan.: A 1926 section of Route 66 runs through the state’s oldest mining town. The Howard “Pappy” Litch Park was once a federal weigh station on Route 66. The park features a gazebo and a Will Rogers Highway plaque from 1952 that once stood at the Missouri-Kansas state line.

Above: In the heyday of the famed Route 66 it was not uncommon for businesses to go a little over the top to lure customers from competitors. This classic Art Deco gas station and diner was built in 1935 and is still a big draw for Route 66 enthusiasts. Below: The Dairy King sells Route 66 cookies — the old stories and photos are viewed for free — in Commerce, Oklahoma.

Info: nps.gov/nr/travel/route66/ east_galena_historic_district.html. Tulsa: The Mother Road’s other birthplace honours the Father of Route 66 with a bronze statue at the Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza. The city has plans to build a Route 66 museum where the road crosses the Arkansas River. The Woody Guthrie Center dedicates exhibit space to Route 66, the Dust Bowl and the migrant workers – subjects that appear in many of the folk singer’s songs. Tulsa will host the Mother Road Revival Weekend on Sept. 10 and 11. Info: visittulsa.com. Adrian, Tex.: Halfway there! Document your success – 1,139 miles down, 1,139 to go – with a snapshot of the sign and the shield on the road. Then celebrate with a piece of “ugly” pie at the Midpoint Cafe, which also has a gift shop. Next door is the Sunflower Station, an antiques and souvenirs store whose owner, Fran Houser, inspired the Flo character in Cars. Info: route66midpointcafe.com. Tucumcari, N.M.: Back in the day, the town’s slogan was “Tucumcari Tonite,” a nod to its booming hospitality industry. Today, the number of motor courts is drastically smaller, but the neon still burns bright at several establishments, including the Blue Swallow Motel, a lavishly restored property open since 1939, and the Motel Safari, established in 1959. The convention center houses the New Mexico

Route 66 Museum, plus a slide show of Tucumcari’s past. During the day, follow the map to more than 40 murals around town, including several with Mother Road themes. For Route 66 swag, stop by Tee Pee Curios, a former gas station. Info: tucumcarinm.com.

Forest bathing A MINDFUL WALK IN THE WOODS, NO GETTING WET BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — In Japan, it’s called “shinrin-yoku,” which translates as forest bathing. It’s the practice of immersing yourself in nature to improve your well-being, and interest in the concept is growing, with spas, resorts, retreat centres, gardens and parks offering guided “forest bathing” experiences. These programs take participants into the woods for a slow, mindful walk to contemplate nature with all the senses. It’s not a hike, because you don’t go far or fast. And while the term forest bathing may lend itself to jokes about nude hot springs, rest assured: You don’t take off your clothes. “We walked through the woods and were just able to absorb what was surrounding us: the beauty of nature, the beauty of the world, from the smallest details, the pebbles under your feet or the branches and the bark on the trees, to how the air felt and listening to the sounds around us,” said Rona London, who participated in a forest bathing experience at Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York. “It was absolutely wonderful.” The benefits of shinrin-yoku were formally recognized in the early 1980s by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. While it might seem obvious that a walk in the woods is good for you, there’s also research on the physiological effects showing that it can lower blood pressure, heart rates and stress hormones. Amos Clifford, who founded the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs , leads a variety of forest bathing experiences, from walks in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood, California, to programs at Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary in Freestone, California, and The Lodge at Woodloch, a resort in Hawley, Pennsylvania.

Clifford, who has a background in Zen meditation and in marriage and family counselling, also trains guides in forest therapy. But he’s careful to say that forest therapists are not qualified to diagnose or treat mental health issues. “We say the forest is the therapist,” he said. “The guide opens the doors.” Clifford’s three-hour guided walks might cover only a quarter-mile (fourtenths of a kilometre). The ideal trail, he says, is two-thirds covered by a forest canopy but also has “some meadow open to the sky,” along with a stream and plant diversity. But it doesn’t have to be a wilderness area. He’s led walks in retirement centre gardens and in city parks near freeways. Clifford compares the experience to a guided meditation, in which participants are prompted to consider, “What are you hearing, seeing, smelling? We invite people to notice what’s in motion in the environment around them: the swaying of trees, the flow of water, butterflies or birds or whatever it might be.” Prices for forest bathing experiences range from $30 for Clifford’s threehour walks in Sugarloaf state park to a $199 all-day experience at Osmosis Day Spa, which includes a massage, lunch and footbath using forest products like cedar. At Mohonk, a 50-minute guided forest bathing experience is $160. Group forest therapy walks at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, cost $25 per class or $115 for a series of five. Charles Leary, a co-owner of Trout Point Lodge in Kemptville, Nova Scotia, says the lodge has “always believed in having our guests immerse themselves in nature. Then we discovered the research on forest bathing and formalized things a little. Now our nature guides who take people into the wilderness areas explain the concepts of forest bathing along with the local ecology.”

This undated image provided by Trout Point Lodge in Kemptville, Nova Scotia, shows trees with fall colors on the property. The lodge offers guided nature walks that are inspired by the Japanese philosophy of ‘forest bathing.’ Forest bathing experiences encourage participants to slow down and contemplate nature with all their senses as a way of promoting well-being. The National Park Service doesn’t offer formal forest bathing programs, but the agency does have a “Healthy Parks Healthy People” initiative to promote the restorative qualities of spending time in nature, and some groups organize programs in the parks on their own combining nature and mindfulness experiences, according to Kathy Kupper of the National Park Service. A recent report done for the NPS by Fatimah Jackson of Howard University looked at ways to experience “mindfulness and spirituality” at the Grand Canyon. Terri Henry leads forest bathing experiences on the Caribbean island of Dominica for guests at Secret Bay, a boutique property with eight private villas. “We go for a mindful walk, very

slow in pace, like a walking meditation,” she said. “The whole idea is to become superaware of the senses. A lot of the time, people have so much going on, they’ve got sensory overload, they have to shut it down.” She helps guests “open up” the senses as they smell wild herbs, listen to bird songs, feel the textures of leaves and even create artwork from foraged materials. Henry also helps people find ways to integrate what they’ve learned into their everyday routines. “If someone has a garden, I might say, ‘Well, you can do this in the garden.’ Or maybe they have a park nearby,” she said. “Everybody feels great after a vacation. Then you go back to the grind. So when you get home, how do you apply it in simple ways?”

Cowboys straight outta Compton BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COMPTON, Calif. — Long before N.W.A. put the place on the map as the birthplace of gangsta rap and its streets echoed with the sounds of drive-by gunfire, Compton was a cowboy town. And it still is. Go down any major thoroughfare on most any weekend, and you’re likely to find someone like Ivory McCloud decked out in his cowboy boots and hat, proudly riding his horse. “I’ve got 40 years in this, man,” the 56-year-old horseman says exuberantly. “My dad was a cowboy. I’m a cowboy. I grew up in Compton. I live in Compton, and I’ve been training horses since I was a kid.” He trains Tennessee Walkers, highgait show horses, in the backyard of his home. But it’s Diamond, his prized blue-eyed Palomino that he proudly rides in parades and rodeos whenever he can. And along the streets of his hometown. But if he tries to explain to someone at an out-of-town rodeo that he comes from Compton, the reaction is almost always the same: “They have horses? IN COMPTON?” Dressage rider Xavier Allison says he gets the same when he’s away at historically black Fisk University in Tennessee, where he’s a sophomore studying business. Everyone there knows where Compton is, Allison says. But nobody believes him when he tells them he rides horses here. “In our neighbourhood, there’s about 400 homes, a couple hundred horses, and some goats and cows and chickens,” laughs Mayisha Akbar, who lives in Richland Farms, a 10-square-

block, semi-rural corner of Compton that time seems to have overlooked. She moved here with her family almost 30 years ago, looking for a place where she and her kids could ride horses, like she did when she was a kid. She found it on the quiet, somewhat dusty streets of a neighbourhood with ranch homes of all shapes and sizes, each with a backyard big enough to stable a horse. But the real estate agent arrived at a time when warring street gangs were threatening to tear the city apart and drive-by shootings were common. “We had this drug war that kind of destroyed two generations of families,” she said. “We had kids raising kids, and it was really a sad time.” She put her three children on horses to keep them out of trouble, and soon she found other kids wanted to ride with them. So Akbar formed the Compton Jr. Posse and began teaching riding. McCloud and other old-timers pitched in. Many had parents or grandparents who had moved from rural areas to a place where they could keep their horses as they found work a few miles away in post-Second World War Los Angeles. Eventually the Compton Jr. Posse built its own stable and riding ring in three adjoining backyards. Hundreds of rescued horses and kids later, the non-profit group began turning out a new generation of riders like 23-yearold Tre Hosley, who competes on the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association circuit. One of the association’s few black bareback riders, he says he got some double takes at first.

“They were like, ‘Who the hell is this kid?”’ he recalled with a laugh. “But after kind of proving myself, and making some good rides, I felt there was a little bit of a buzz, especially after I started winning.” Compton was a nearly all-white city

in the 1940s when it counted among its residents future Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. It was essentially all black in the 1980s when sisters Venus and Serena Williams were growing up to become their generation’s greatest tennis players.

It “really” was a near death experience CRYSTAL RHYNO RUNNING WITH RHYNO Six kilometres to go. I am staring down a fierce white and black coiled snake. Just minutes ago a bright green garden snake slithered across my path. My legs are feeling good and I know the Lost Soul 54K end is in sight. Coming across not one but two snakes was not part of my finish plan. Between you and me … snakes and spiders give me the heebee jeebees. Honestly I would rather come across a brown bear. The snake is holding its ground. There’s no way around the serpent. No other runners are in sight. A man in a blue shirt was a few minutes back. In hopes of confusing the snake, I turned around and pretended to run in the opposite direction. Not easily fooled, the snake hissed (do snakes hiss?) and edged closer to me. Thankfully the man in the blue shirt finally appeared in the distance. I am not embarrassed to say I rushed toward him while squealing like a banshee. The snake won’t let me pass. Will it bite? Should I just offer my body as a human sacrifice? Help! My new friend calmly said the snake would bite but it would not kill me. I sighed a breath of relief as I asked

the man to stand in front of the snake so I could bypass it. My swift manoeuvring worked and I finished the last few kilometres without more snake sightings. Yes I should be writing about how all my training paid off and how I shaved an hour off my 2014 54K time. But I can’t shake that creeped out feeling I had after my near death experience with the two snakes. It’s the first thing I told my friend Carleigh LeClair, who was waiting for me at the finish line. I confess I may have texted her in a panic at the bottom of that coulee. Her response? Take a picture! (My friends know me so well.) I digress … a lot … My wonky knee gave me grief on the downhills but I had no trouble on the climbs. There was no point during the race when I thought I couldn’t finish the race or I wanted to give up. It was great seeing Bill Kossmann near one of the aid stations. He yelled, “What are you doing? Hustle! It’s a race.” Yes, I wanted to smack him. But I will forgive him since he ran 100K the day before. ***** Find Running with Rhyno on Facebook and @CrystalRhyno on Twitter.

Crystal hams it up at the finish line.

Marathon runner learns boundaries are only self imposed TACOMA, Wash. — Tami Christensen doesn’t get hung up on labels. “I’m a dancer, not a runner,” she said. “I’m a CPA, not a writer.” But that didn’t stop her from becoming all of the above. On Sept. 3, Christensen, a 37-yearold who recently moved to Tacoma from Liberty Lake, self-published a book called Life on the Run. The book is loaded with stories and lessons learned during her ongoing attempt to run a marathon in every state. “It’s about facing failure and finding courage,” Christensen said. “You think there are these boundaries on life until you learn they are self imposed. Once you break through those in running, you can transfer that to other areas of your life. And it opens your world, and there is nothing stopping you anymore.” Christensen has run marathons in 40 states and Washington, D.C. She expects to finish her goal sometime next year. On Aug. 27, she ran her first race local race, the Tacoma Narrows Half Marathon. She finished third in the women’s division and 10th overall. Between running and writing, raising four children with her husband, and settling in to her new surroundings, Christensen stays quite busy. “Running is a good endurance builder for life,” she said. Christensen recently carved out a few minutes to field a few questions about her project and her passion for running. —Q: Where did this idea come from? —A: One person who I always admired and found really interesting was my grandma. She had traveled everywhere. I loved how she was so knowledgeable about the world and different people and cultures. She was open-minded and loving. She had this philosophy that you could make a friend out of anybody. I, of course, wanted to be like her. She had visited all 50 states and she told me about all her adventures. I

thought, “Gosh, I would love to visit all 50 states.” I also love running. Running a marathon in every state is the perfect excuse to travel. At that point, I’d already done 10, so I was already 20 percent done. So I was like, let’s just ride this thing out. I think it will be fun. —Q: Has anything been more difficult than you expected? —A: The logistics. That’s one of the things that took me off guard. I didn’t really think about that. I just thought how fun it would be to run and explore the different states. —Q: How did you get into running? —A: I was a cheerleader in high school and a dancer. I didn’t start running until I was 23. I ran a half marathon and somebody said that with that time you could qualify for the Boston Marathon. That blew my mind because Boston is huge. That’s when I thought maybe I should give it a try. What do I have to lose aside from my pride? I qualified in my first marathon (in Utah). —Q: So you and your husband have four young children (ages 4-11), how do you find time to run? —A: Being a mom and I was an employee for some of that time as well, that’s a priority. Running is a hobby. I love it, and I make time for it by getting up really early. But in terms of how it fits into the rest of my life, it comes last. —Q: You said you ran a marathon while pregnant with each of your children. Is that as incredibly challenging as it sounds? —A: The farthest along I was 4½ months. You have to make sure you hydrate well, eat well. Your goals shift. I just ran a marathon when I ran it as hard as I could and it was 3 hours, 4 minutes. I didn’t have to think about anything except crossing that finish line. When I had the babies, I had to make sure my heart rate wasn’t too high and breathing was right. My goal shifted from wanting to finish fast to just wanting to finish and have a good time. —Q: Do your kids watch your races? —A: The two older ones are

interested in it. They’ve seen me come home from races with the medals and they get excited. They’re proud of me. Another thing I want to show my kids is that you are never too old to set a goal and work really hard. They’ve been there when I’ve bonked at races, and I’d say this wasn’t really such a great race for mom. And they’ve been there when I’ve done well and they’ve come up to the podium with me. So, they’ve seen what hard work looks like. They’ve seen what failure look like. … That’s what is most rewarding for me. Now, I can look my kids in the eye when they are struggling with something I can say, “I totally get it, but I also believe in

you and go work a little harder.” They know that I’m not only saying that I’m also experiencing it. —Q: What will you do when you’re done with your 50 states project? —A: I would like to get fast enough to make the (2020) Olympic trials. I have nothing to lose. I’ve run 46 marathons and I’ve had a few where I’ve really crashed and burned. The funny thing is, nobody really cares. That took away a lot of my fear of trying to do something even thinking I might fail. The worse thing that’s going to happen is I don’t make it. The best that can happen is it’s going to be the experience of a lifetime.

Michael Kors: Forget all your troubles, get happy! BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Michael Kors has a message and it goes like this: “Forget your troubles, come on get happy, you better chase all your cares away!” So sang Rufus Wainwright to live accompaniment on Kors’ runway Wednesday as models walked in optimistic florals, swingy ruffles and comfy wide-legged pants for spring. The designer and the singer, a Judy Garland aficionado, hugged and ran a lap along the winding path at a downtown space after Wainwright belted “Get Happy” and other show tunes for the fashion crowd. And it was happy. “I’m an optimist, and when I thought about it I was kind of thinking, well what do I really think is missing in the world, and I think romance is missing,” said Kors of his sexy, strong collection dominated by florals, in nutmeg, and bright pinks and greens. “In today’s world there’s this hybrid, that I think women want to feel empowered but flirty and feminine at the same time, so I thought about powerful romance and how do we have the best of both worlds?” Kors was thinking about that old chestnut, “‘She’s a real dame,”’ he explained in an interview. “We think about actresses like Barbara Stanwy-

ck and Katharine Hepburn back in the ’40s and Kim Basinger in the ’80s. These women were sly and feminine but they were definitely in control.” He delivered that attitude in sharp tailoring of shoulders and cinched waists, mixed with things like a wide-belted trench coat with an asymmetrical hem, pleated palazzo pants and shoulder-to-wrist rows of ruffles on the sleeves of one collared, seethrough button-down blouse. “Something that catches the breeze,” Kors said. And he paid homage to his muses, naming some bags models carried after Stanwyck and others. Kors, bending to the “see now, buy now” trend, made some looks immediately available, but most of the collection he called timeless, the “opposite of fast fashion.” That was true of navy blue coats, day dresses and sparkly black eveningwear. It might not be true of little bra top and romper sets in browns, or oversized sleeves flopping over hands. Impulse buy or investment, the fashion seasons are officially blurred, Kors said. “More and more we see that our customers don’t pay attention to the seasons anyway,” Kors said. “People wear boots in the summer, sandals in

People travel. There’s no time of day or night.” So, is Kors a romantic? “I am a romantic at heart,” he said. “I cry at a television commercial if it’s

the right one. Music wells me up, the right movie wells me up, and I think that, you know, it’s also just, let’s slow up a little. Let’s appreciate things, know where we are.”

Alexander Wang partners with adidas Originals on new line BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Designer Alexander Wang is, by his own description, a total sneakerhead. He once even designed a whole clothing collection around them, with dresses, tops and handbags emulating his favourite sneaks — like the classic white-and-green Adidas Stan Smith. Now, Wang has taken his sneaker love to a new level, partnering with adidas Originals for a line of apparel and footwear that seeks, in his words, to “disrupt” the famous Adidas look while still preserving its familiarity. One example: rotating the well-known trefoil logo upside down. Another: “deconstructing” the Adidas sneaker. Also, the entire collection is unisex: Pants, tops, shoes. Wang introduced the new line as a surprise finale to his Fashion Week runway show Saturday night, in a huge space on a Hudson River pier. After modeling creations from Wang’s own label, models rushed backstage to change into new adidas Originals garb, while a one-and-a-half minute film teased the collection. Then they marched onto the runway, more than 70 of them, all clad in black, as the crowd — which included Madonna and Nicki Minaj — craned their necks and snapped endless photos. It was, Wang said, “the biggest show we’ve ever done.” In designing the new line, the key challenge was to change up the Adidas look so it feels fresh — but not to the point that it’s unrecognizable, Wang said in an interview. “It was really about saying, how do we take something and shake it up a little, disrupt it, but at the same time not change it so much where it doesn’t feel right.” The 32-year-old designer is recognized as one of the most talented and busiest of his generation. He launched his own, eponymous label 11 years ago, at age 21. Last year, he ended a prestigious three-year stint as creative director at Balenciaga, a job that had him splitting his time between Paris and New York. Since then, he’s been back fulltime at his own label, where he focuses heavily on streetwear — and is a favourite of the celebrity set. As for Adidas, it clearly wanted to capitalize on Wang’s edgy and youthful vibe. “I’ve been a fan for a long time, this connection he has with culture and New York and breaking down boundaries,” said Nic Galway, vice-president of design for adidas Originals, who began exploring a partnership with Wang the day after attending the designer’s 10th anniversary runway show last September.

For Wang, it was a chance to indulge in his sneaker love. “I grew up on sneakers,” he said. “It’s a very interesting time obviously for (all) sportswear, the whole market and how people utilize fitness, incorporate it into their daily uniform. So the sneaker is something that I’ve always been very close to. And it’s always been something that’s very hard for us to do in house, to be honest — obviously Adidas has the most innovative resources.” Wang also showed his own label’s spring collection on Saturday night, and it was a marked contrast to the all-black garb that came later: Colorful, whimsical warm-weather clothes that seemed destined for the beach. He said backstage that he was going for a “liberating, free, surfer attitude and sensibility. Everything was put through the lens of water sports.” Wang’s after-parties are as famous as his shows. As guests left the runway, they walked into a cavernous space filled with colorful trucks, some dispensing snacks, Slurpees, or stronger beverages. Partiers could take a can of spray paint and decorate a van, if they chose. The adidas Originals collaboration — first available on Sunday via popup trucks at three stops in New York City — is yet another effort by Wang to keep moving forward in an industry that is fast changing. All the recent upheaval in the fashion industry — including a slew of recent departures of designers at top labels — keeps him on his toes, he said. “In the past, I was used to thinking very long-term

Treat or monitor early prostate cancer? BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

but the study assigned him to have surgery. “Within about 24 hours, I persuaded myself that it was the best option,” he said. “I started to think, ‘how could you live like that, knowing there’s a cancer growing inside you and you’re not doing anything about it?”’ Although he suffered side effects including some incontinence and pain, Hancock was glad he had the surgery. “Psychologically, I know the cancer has been removed because my prostate is gone and I’ve never looked back since then.” Douglas Collett, a retired construction worker from Cromhall, said he was horrified when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. “It hit me like a sledgehammer,” the 73-year-old said. “My initial reaction was to get rid of it.” But after reading up on the risks and benefits of surgery and radiation, Collett said he was relieved to have been assigned to the monitoring group, and feels more men should be fully informed about the various strategies. “Maybe the first option shouldn’t be surgery or radiotherapy,” he said.

LONDON — Men with early prostate cancer who choose to closely monitor their disease are just as likely to survive at least 10 years as those who have surgery or radiation, finds a major study that directly tested and compared these options. Survival from prostate cancer was so high — 99 per cent, regardless of which approach men had — that the results call into question not only what treatment is best but also whether any treatment at all is needed for early-stage cases. And that in turn adds to concern about screening with PSA blood tests, because screening is worthwhile only if finding cancer earlier saves lives. “There’s been no hard evidence that treating early disease makes a Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS difference,” said Dr. Freddie Hamdy Chief investigator Professor Freddie Hamdy, and co-researcher Professor Jenny of the University of Oxford, the study’s Donovan, left, sit during a press briefing to announce the results of the world’s leader. “Because we cannot determine very first and largest trial into treatment for prostate cancer, in London.

Oilsands investment worth billions BUT THERE’S NO INDICATION THAT ANY OF THE THREE PROJECTS WILL GO AHEAD BY THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY — The Alberta government has approved three oilsands projects that it says represent about $4 billion of potential investments, though it’s unclear whether any of the projects will go ahead. The projects include the Blackpearl Resources’s Blackrod project, Surmont Energy’s Wildwood project, and Husky Energy’s Saleski project that together total about 95,000 barrels of potential production. The approvals, announced Thursday, are the first projects to get the green light since the government established a 100 megatonne greenhouse gas cap on oilsands emissions. “They’re not the first to be approved by the (NDP) government, but they are the first under the Climate Leadership Plan,” said Energy Minister spokesman Brad Hartle. Together the projects are expected to equal about 2.5 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions if built to the design capacity. The government is still working out how to implement the emissions cap, which it says it put in place to encourage innovation and cost-effective emissions reduction strategies. The government approvals come after multiple environmental assessments, consultations with local indigenous and non-indigenous communities, and recommendations by the Alberta Energy Regulator that the projects be approved. “This is a major step that’s been several years in the making,” said Mark Smith, chief executive of Surmont. He said the company’s application process started in October 2012 and Surmont has had to contend with changes to regulations, the energy regulator, and in government along the way. “It took a lot longer than we imagined it would,” said Smith. He said the company had interest from backers in the past for the roughly US$375-million, 12,000-barrel-a-day project, but the private company will now have to work to secure firm financial backing. Husky spokesman Mel Duvall said Saleski is a

The Alberta government announced on Thursday three new projects for the oilsands worth a potential $4 billion investment. 3,000-barrel-a-day pilot project that has not been sanctioned yet by Husky. “It’s something we’ll have to review in light of our current budgeting process,” said Duvall. The companies still must make final investment

decisions on the projects and work with regulators on specific licences and approvals. The NDP government last approved an oilsands project in October 2015, with Devon Canada’s 9,000-barrel-a-day project near Cold Lake, Alta.

Samsung phones recalled after catching on fire BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. safety regulators announced a formal recall of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smartphone Thursday after a spate of fires led to injuries and property damage and created a global marketing headache. Samsung had already initiated a voluntary recall, but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission stepped in to co-ordinate. Commission Chairman Elliot Kaye blasted Samsung for trying to do the recall on its own, saying that anyone who believes that a unilateral effort would be sufficient “needs to have more than their phone checked.” Samsung sold about 2.5 million of its top-line smartphone, including about 1 million in the United States. Kaye said the South Korean company has now agreed to offer consumers the choice of a full refund or a replacement device. Before, Samsung was offering replacements only. The recall comes as Samsung is locked in a fierce battle with Apple for the attentions of high-end smartphone purchasers. Apple just introduced the latest versions of its iPhone, which go on sale Friday. Samsung had beaten Apple

to market with the Note 7 by several weeks, and it was drawing favourable reviews before consumers began reporting problems with the battery overheating, resulting in fires and explosions. One family in St. Petersburg, Florida, reported that a Galaxy Note 7 left charging in their Jeep had caught fire, destroying the vehicle. “Samsung has received 92 reports of the batteries overheating in the U.S., including 26 reports of burns and 55 reports of property damage,” said a statement on the U.S. commission’s website. The statement said property damage included fires in cars and a garage. Samsung pledged Thursday to expedite the recall. “Consumer safety is always our highest priority,” Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America, said in a statement. The company has been criticized for its response over the past two weeks. Samsung announced on Sept. 2 that it had stopped selling the phone and would replace any that had been sold. But Samsung didn’t tell consumers at the time to stop using the device. Please see SAMSUNG on Page D2

Commercial building permits showed an increase for August compared to the same time a year ago. A big factor for the increase is the new Tim Horton’s restaurant in north Red Deer with a permit value of $450,000. A building permit was also issued for interior renovations to an existing building located in the same area at a value of $360,000. Bredin College received a building permit worth $280,000 for renovations to the Collins Barrow Centre, which will include a new classroom and more office space. A $100,000 building permit was issued to Barrie Wilson Elementary School in the Timberlands to help with a single storey modular. Monthly permit statistics are available on the city’s website at http:// data.reddeer.ca.

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Thursday it’s recalling more than 1.9 million vehicles worldwide because their air bags might not deploy in a crash. The recall affects certain Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Lancia vehicles from the 2010-2014 model years. Most are in the U.S., but 224,860 were sold in Canada and Mexico and 284,051 were sold outside North America. FCA says an air-bag and seat-belt control module with a certain wiring design may not deploy the air bags or tighten the seat belts if the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash. That could increase the risk of injury. FCA says it’s aware of three deaths and five injuries that may be related to the issue. FCA will contact owners and replace the defective parts for free. The vehicles involved are: ● 2010 Chrysler Sebring ● 2010 Chrysler Cirrus ● 2011-2014 Chrysler 200 ● 2010-2012 Dodge Caliber ● 2010-2014 Dodge Avenger ● 2010-2014 Jeep Patriot ● 2010-2014 Jeep Compass ● 2012-2013 Lancia Flavia The recall is unrelated to General Motors Co.’s recall last week of more than 4 million vehicles with faulty air bag and seat belt modules. In that recall, a software glitch, not a wiring problem, was the issue.

ASC reverses its stance on disclosure rules for women EDMONTON — Alberta’s minister for the status of women says shareholders making decisions about publicly traded companies deserve information on the number of women on boards and in executive suites. Stephanie McLean made the comments Thursday at a meeting with her federal and provincial counterparts in Edmonton. McLean was referring to a decision by the Alberta Securities Commission this week to revisit a decision it made two years ago to not compel companies it oversees to disclose the number of women employed in senior positions.

Canadian household debt reaches new heights: StatsCan BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — The amount Canadians owe compared with how much they earn hit a new record in the second quarter, driven in part by the country’s hot housing markets. TD Bank senior economist Leslie Preston said low interest rates have made borrowing more attractive, especially for homebuyers, and predicted the debt ratio could continue to trend a little higher in the next few quarters. “We think there’s still a fair bit of momentum in Toronto’s housing market and Toronto is just such a huge share of Canada’s overall housing market that we do think this ratio could tick up,” she said Thursday.

The ratio of household credit market debt to disposable income climbed to 167.6 per cent in the second quarter compared with 165.2 per cent in the first quarter. The increase means households owe about $1.68 in credit market debt for every dollar of disposable income. The growth came as household credit market debt climbed two per cent, while disposable income increased 0.5 per cent in the quarter. BMO Capital Markets senior economist Benjamin Reitzes said the increase in the debt ratio was consistent with a usual seasonal trend — with the second quarter the strongest period for housing markets and thus mortgage debt growth. “While it looks as though the Vancouver housing market is cooling after the foreign buyers’ tax

was implemented, the Toronto market remains very strong, and others are showing signs of improving as well,” Reitzes said. The Bank of Canada has identified household debt as a key risk to the economy. In its latest interest rate announcement, the central bank said “financial vulnerabilities associated with household imbalances remain elevated and continue to rise.” Scott Hannah, chief executive of the Credit Counselling Society, said when interest rates are low it’s tempting to buy things on credit, but interest rates will rise eventually.

Consumer Canadian Tire . . . . . . . . 131.74 Gamehost . . . . . . . . . . . . 10.02 Leon’s Furniture . . . . . . . 16.01 MARKETS CLOSE TORONTO — Major North American stock markets climbed Thursday, boosted by weak U.S. retail sales data that traders took as a sign the Federal Reserve may delay raising interest rates. In Toronto, the S&P/TSX composite index racked up a three-digit gain, adding on 137.21 points or nearly one per cent, to 14,503.67. It was a broad-based rally, with all sectors up, with financials and consumer staples stocks as the leading advancers. In the currency market, the Canadian dollar was up 0.22 of a U.S. cent at 75.99 cents US on higher oil prices. The October crude oil contract was ahead 33 cents to US$43.91 per barrel. On Wall Street, all major indices were ahead by one per cent. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 177.71 points at 18,212.48, while the broader S&P 500 index added 21.49 points at 2,147.26. The Nasdaq composite climbed 75.92 points at 5,249.69. Much of the optimism came from the latest retail sales figures from the U.S. Commerce Department, which reported that shoppers had cut back on spending in August. Retail sales fell 0.3 per cent last month, a contrast to the first eight months of the year in which sales rose 2.9 per cent compared with the same period in 2015. The solid retail spending in prior months had defied anemic economic growth in the first half of 2016. Retail sales seemed to largely track a robust pace of hiring, which similarly went against the slowing pace of overall economic growth. Although August’s report was weak, traders took it positively

That is going to be a key item.” Caskey said it will be a report that the Fed will likely not ignore, considering that consumer spending accounts for anywhere between two-thirds to 70 per cent of the economy in the U.S. In other economic news, the Bank of Canada said that household debt levels hit a new record in the second quarter, partly due to rising real estate markets. Meanwhile in commodities, the December gold contract fell US$8.10 to US$1,318 per ounce, the October contract for natural gas added four cents to US$2.93 per mmBtu and December copper was unchanged at US$2.16 a pound.

Bayer buying Monsanto BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS American seed and weed-killer company Monsanto and German medicine and farm chemical maker Bayer are combining in a deal that could help farmers produce higher yields to address challenges from global warming to rising food demand from a fast-growing global population. Consumers could benefit from more-affordable and healthier food options as well as the companies’ using their expertise to help farmers limit their chemical use and environmental impact, company executives said Wednesday after the all-cash deal was announced. It comes amid record harvests driving crop prices to painfully low levels for many farmers. After four months of courtship, Leverkusen, Germany-based Bayer AG said Monsanto Co. accepted its third offer. In addition to the $57 billion price for shareholders, Bayer is as-

suming $9 billion in Monsanto debt. It will pay Monsanto shareholders $128 per share, $6 above its initial offer and a 44 per cent premium over the St. Louis company’s closing price before rumours of a bid emerged. Because Bayer is mainly funding the deal through debt, by selling bonds and stock, Jefferies LLC analyst Jeffrey Holford wrote to investors, Bayer’s increased debt load could limit investment in its “sub-optimal” prescription drug pipeline and its consumer health business. The deal would create a global agricultural and chemical giant with a broad array of products. Fitch Ratings noted the combined Bayer would have a 25 per cent share in some markets, “almost certainly drawing regulatory scrutiny and posing antitrust obstacles.” That’s because the deal combines two of the six U.S. and European companies that dominate in agrochemicals.

Walmart Canada no longer accepting Visa in Manitoba BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Walmart Canada continued its battle with Visa over merchant fees Thursday, with an announcement that it will no longer accept the popular credit card at any of its Manitoba stores starting next month. The U.S.-based retail giant said the change will come into effect at all 16 locations in the province as of Oct. 24. Customers will still be able to pay for purchases with cash, debit, MasterCard and American Express cards. Walmart pledged in June that it would stop accepting Visa at its more than 400 Canadian stores, arguing that it unfairly pays more than $100 million annually in credit card fees. Three Thunder Bay, Ont., stores were the first locations to drop the credit card on July 18. Walmart spokesman Alex Roberton said it decided to continue the phaseout in Manitoba after seeing the small impact it made in Thunder Bay. “There has been no surprises. Reaction from customers has been better than expected,” he said, noting that the Visa ban in Manitoba Walmarts will involve retraining cashiers and reprogramming payment equipment. Roberton said the retailer is singling out Visa because its fees are higher than its rivals, refuting the idea that the decision is due to attempts to promote the usage of Walmart’s own branded MasterCard. “The reason why we’re doing it is

SAMSUNG: Don’t put phone in luggage The company also did not immediately co-ordinate its recall with the U.S. consumer safety agency. Since then, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has not only stepped in, but U.S. aviation safety officials have also taken the unusual step of warning airline passengers not to turn on or charge the phone during flights, or put them in checked bags. Gartner analyst Tuong Nguyen said Samsung’s statements left many customers confused. “Because it took a while, the messages were confusing, and that might have an impact on overall consumer confidence, especially since we’re talking about a high-end device, their flagship phone,” Nguyen said. People who bought the phone did so to get the best possible quality and service, he said, and how the recall came about “kind of seems like a strike on both counts.” Samsung said Note 7 purchasers will be offered the choice of a refund or a replacement. For a replacement, customers can choose a new Note 7 when it is available again in the U.S. by Wednesday, or the smaller and cheaper Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge right away — with a refund of the price difference. Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Kaye at the consumer safety commission said Note 7 purchasers should check the back of their device for an identifying number, and visit Samsung’s recall website or call a hotline at 1-844-365-6197 to find out if the device needs to be turned in. If so, consumers can take the device back to Samsung or to the phone carrier that sold it. About 97 per cent of phones

because the fees are too high,” he said. “Visa is the company we’re dealing with right now.” When asked whether Walmart has plans to ban any other credit cards from its stores, he replied that he wasn’t going to speculate on what the company will do in the future. Visa, the country’s largest credit card firm, declined a request for an interview but said in a statement that Walmart’s decision to drop Visa at more store locations was “disappointing.” “We know from our experience in Thunder Bay that consumers want the option to use the payment method of their choice when shopping — including at Walmart stores,” said spokeswoman Carla Hindman in an email. Previously, Visa had said it had offered Walmart one of the lowest rates for any merchant in the country but the retailer wanted more. If it had given in, Walmart’s merchant fees would have been lower than those charged to local grocery markets, pharmacies, convenience stores, charities and schools. According to consumer finance industry newsletter Nilson Report, Visa accounts for 56 per cent of credit card transactions globally in 2015, with MasterCard behind at 26 per cent. Credit card companies generally charge retailers between one per cent to 2.5 per cent of the cost of purchases in merchant fees. The fees can vary depending on the type of card a customer is using, with cash-back and points cards racking up the largest fees. sold in the U.S. are being recalled. “We want the recall to be simple and straightforward,” Kaye said. Speaking of consumers, he added, “We really do want them to take advantage of it right away. As we’ve seen from videos … the phones really do present a serious fire hazard.”

STATSCAN: Debt can be challenge “If we’re already struggling to manage our debts now, things are only going to get more challenging when the cost of borrowing rises,” Hannah said. A recent report by credit reporting agency TransUnion suggested up to one million Canadian borrowers, including some of the highest rated consumers, could face problems paying their debts if interest rates rise. TransUnion said that while the majority of Canadians will not be materially impacted in the near term by an interest rate increase, there is a “material subset.” Total household credit market debt — which includes consumer credit, and mortgage and non-mortgage loans — was $1.973 trillion at the end of the second quarter, including $585.8 billion in consumer credit and $1.293 trillion in mortgage debt. Reitzes noted that Canadian household debt rose above 100 per cent of nominal gross domestic product for the first time. Total household net worth increased 1.9 per cent in the second quarter to $9.837 trillion, boosted by a gain in real estate. Household net worth on a per capita basis was $271,300. The ratio of household debt to assets was 16.9 per cent, relatively unchanged from the previous quarter, suggesting Canadian households had $5.92 of assets for every dollar of debt.
